I realise a lot of these will come naturally to you if you listen to a lot of Korean through talk shows and dramas. Your ear gets trained and you can tell when its wrong instinctively because you've heard it being said so many times!

[@fransmith3255]

Yeah, I actually didn't even know a couple of those words, but I still intuitively knew how they would probably be pronounced without specific tuition, so we don't intellectually need to know those rules. But just from home practice and listening, they're kind of obvious if you try to pronounce the spelt sounds. I got them all at pause. :-)

[@the.muffin]

yes!! except 려 료 랴 류 lol i can never seem to get my tongue around the r with the y

[@fransmith3255]

@@the.muffin Yeah, me too. The word for station is difficult "정류장", with the preceding 'ng' before the ㄹ, just for good measure. :-))

[@wolfsmoonlight9872]

My sources are livestreams. You get a lot of different dialects . And I just started to learn the basics of Hanguel to be able to read.

[@chriast]

@@fransmith3255 정류장 is pronounced 정뉴장, so it is easier than with ㄹ :-)

[@cami7916]

For anyone struggling with double consonants, what helped me was tensing my throat before "pushing" the sound out from the very back of my throat. When you do this you'll naturally raise the pitch and push out very little air.

[@talktomeinkorean]

Thank you for sharing such a great tip!😉

[@lidiareyes7048]

감사합니다

[@valeriafonseca1136]

Double consonants are a little more easy for me, because I speak Spanish and they are similar to Spanish consonants, English consonants are pronounced while exhaling some air at the same time you say them, Spanish - and Korean double consonants - are pronounced with no air!! You can try putting a paper sheet in front of your mouth and pronouncing the consonants like in English and then trying pronouncing them with no air! You'll notice how the sheet moves with the air of English consonants and not moving with Korean double consonants - or Spanish ones - I hope you understand my explanation, and find it helpful!!😅

[@cami7916]

@@valeriafonseca1136 yo también hablo español pero nunca me pareció que fueran sonidos tan parecidos, quizás ㄲ , pero creo que en coreano cambia más el tono 😅 lo de poner una hoja de papel lo intenté pero terminaba haciendo sonidos raros sin aire. igual se que a mucha gente le sirve!

[@valeriafonseca1136]

@@cami7916 Sisi no son totalmente iguales porque cada idioma tiene su acento y su tono pero muchas veces si suenan muy parecidas y después de todo, todos aprendemos diferente y nos sirven diferentes cosas!! Pero es cierto, se que no siempre suenan igual💁🏽‍♀️

[@laetitiai603]

This is why I love TTMIK, they understand that simple doesn't rhyme with least They always come up with simpler methods to learn and they're actually most efficient I always learn so much from them when I'm not being lazy😶

[@talktomeinkorean]

Thanks for the sweet comment!😊

[@canpy143]

The animation at the beginning is super cute and relatable. Great video lessons!

[@talktomeinkorean]

Yay! Thank you!😆

[@andreablengini3450]

This explanation is super clear. When learning a language, connective speech is one of the most treacky aspect to grasp. You hear a sound that does not match what you write. It is not only a matter of sounding native, but also a very important listening skill. Through studying Korean with you I was able to improve my English by paying more attention of the sounds we produce while speaking. Amazing work guys, keep it up.

[@talktomeinkorean]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for the comment!

[@ohanammii]

super agreeeee

[@coldestsprite1467]

I always thought that when I'd hear people say 같이 that it'd often sound like they were saying 가치 but I thought that my ears were just deceiving me and that, as a learner, it wasn't my place to stray from what I had learned from ny books and thus I just resorted to putting a lot more emphasis on the ㅌ. Happy to find out that my observations and suspicions were indeed correct all this time

[@user-mj7ok3vu2j]

My mom was born and raised in Korea (she only left as an adult) but she actually says 한국말 as 한국말 and not 한궁말 😅 when I asked her about it, she just said y’know everyone pronounces things differently (I.e. has their own way of pronouncing things), and it’s true no matter the language when you think about it. There are so many ways to pronounce things. I always thought Korean was different though since there are so many rules how to blend consonants together and such, but I guess not. Anyways, tldr don’t feel bad if you mispronounce some things sometimes because even some Koreans don’t.

[@octoberrrrrrr]

ive been learning for years, but with ttmik, i realize there is always more to learn!! id noticed differences in how words were pronounced vs written, but i didnt know that some of these were actual rules instead of people just talking fast. thank u!! i sounded way more natural saying the sentence after i watched the video

[@LilyUnicorn]

Most of the rules are things koreans naturally do and are unaware they do.

[@lz738]

OMG! I've been studying Korean for 5 years and I never noticed that 한국말 was pronounced that way!!!!! 😱

[@cynnabnz]

That was terrifying but equally helpful. Reading the theory at the beginning of my TTMIK textbook, I didn't really grasp these ideas. This was more helpful.

[@thisis__x]

This lesson not only helped me pronounce better but 'listen and understand' better, proving once again that memorizing vocabulary isn't enough. A learner must also detect nuances in the language. It has helped me pay attention to how actors speak in Kdramas.

[@antarapal7029]

I love that they understand that some things sound similar to learners and then guide us so well.

[@nowwwrinnnn]

I was having difficulties pronouncing long sentences and was about to search for how to read fluently and correctly but this video came up on my homepage and it helped me a lot.

[@KoreanLearnersClub]

THIS IS GENIUS!!!!!! 🤯 Your content always inspires me! ❤️❤️ 고맙습니다!

[@nivaliente]

If I can I just want to say I’m so proud of myself because I read the majority of this sentence correctly. I still need more practice of course but after studying Korean every day for a year and a half this makes me so happy! I will continue to practice and study everyday!

[@balloonrock]

I knew the pronunciation of 같이 just by seeing it so often and memorizing the sight of the word. Now I know the pronunciation rule behind the sound!

[@issy802]

this was seriously the most helpful video i’ve ever watched regarding learning korean. this answered every question i’ve had for so long about why korean is pronounced differently from how it’s written sometimes. weird they don’t seem to immediately teach this in text books nor the korean language school i attended. this should be something taught first

[@kookie_9725]

Thank you so much TTMIK team u really helped me a lot to improve my korean!! Thank you once again

[@marieconstantia4441]

I’m going to need to watch this video about 100 times.

[@MrJason300]

This was a nice confirmation of my pronunciation developing over the past years! 많이 감사합니다!

[@frederikkeolesen7218]

I was unaware of a lot of these, and I struggle with pronunciation like many others, so thank you for this!

[@suhaliasworld507]

You helped us a lot. Thanks to TTMIK team. Love You guys 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@chaeyoungsstrawberryfarm3327]

This is really great. I’ve been wondering how to learn about pronunciation like this where it changes and this is the most helpful I’ve found🙏

[@koreanwithsun1639]

There are lots of interesting videos! I really appreciate this channel as a Korean language teacher working in the same area.

[@udunnomeson]

Oh. My. God. And I thought I was done learning all the rules in 한글 ! I never knew about these rules.. if I never watched this video, I wouldnt have known any of these 😭 Thanks so much! This was so informative, and the way u broke everything down is incredible. U made everything so clear and easy to understand. This video was very informative. I'm currently self teaching myself Korean and trying to do my best. It's been about 2 months or so since I started learning. I keep wanna thanking you ㅋㅋㅋ Anyways, thanks so much for this once again! 💜

This was incredibly helpful! While I don't have any problems pronouncing 의, I just wanted to know why it becomes "ye" in possessive form; like 나의 (na-ye), 우리의 (uri-ye) and the rest. Thank you!! 🤗🤗

[@SnackyKorea]

Well, you don't actually have to know why it has to be. Cuz Koreans still don't really know about it either. language is not mathematics. :) if you are interested in learning Korean language and culture, you can come and check my channel too i guess.

intermediate learner here, two things i wish yall mentioned is how ㅅ,ㅈ,ㅎ,ㅌ,ㅊ are all pronounced as ㄷ at the end of a syllable and how aspirated consonants and double consonants are pronounced as plain consonants in the 받침 position

[@blueberrysky7599]

Please make more pronunciation and intonation videos. 문법이랑 어휘를 많이 배워도 바름이 영원히 가장 어려운 부분으로 남을 거예요.

Eerie timing on this recommendation, KZbin. This really helped. I figured I was probably saying a lot of thing incorrectly. Interesting to see how middle ground I was. The stuff I got wrong was very VERY wrong. I'll visit this video often. Thank you.

This is why watching Korean videos like variety shows and dramas are so great to learn Korean because I have never studied Korean but I pronounced the sentence perfectly, it's like second nature to me.

[@okaniedavis3551]

Please tell me what software you use to edit your videos? The animations are clean and esthetically pleasing. A big 👏🏽 to the editor or team of editors. It really makes it easy to understand and follow along the explanations.
