But don’t be mistaken by 웃 to laugh or smile

[@world7033]

I also thought that about 웃 like in 웃다 which means to laugh or smile. I always think of a smiling person. This is probably just me

I am sure Korean people think that English is difficult.

[@mrflip-flop3198]

I was really confused at first because I'm learning Korean through this app with a Korean TTS system and when it says "이것", it pronounced it as "i-goet" but when I add the "은", it pronounced it as "i-goeseun". So this really helped me with the confusion.

[@PiroMunkie]

When teaching Korean students I noticed that there is a particular way of speaking in Korean that really influences the way they speak English. That is, the way sounds like ㅂ ㄷ ㄱ have a slightly aspirated sound if they're at the beginning of a word, but are unaspirated if they're in the middle of a word. For example, 바보 can sound like "pabo" to an English speaker. And before Hangeul/English translations were normalized, 부산 was written in English as "Pusan." I notice this a lot when playing games like Hangman with my students. If they say B or D, or say 그 when they are trying to say G, to me it often sounds a lot like they're saying or and I usually have to clarify by writing it on the board first. I don't know if you've ever done a video on this topic, but I think it would be an interesting one to cover as the differences in sounds depending on where it is in the word can make it a little confusing to learners of Korean. And for native speakers of Korean, they may not even realize they do it, lol.

[@Assassunn]

I thought it was at the beginning of a sentence, not of every words

[@zataraeun7967]

I agree, Their ㄱ G is sounds like K Their ㅂ B/P sounds like P which is also ㅍ The ㄷ D sounds like T which is also ㅌ I'm am so much confused about these letters sound.

[@jungha265]

I’m more confused if I should use R or L for ㄹ

[@Kara_Pabuc]

Well... Stop using romanizations. The sounds are not the same.

[@verine6977]

@@premierjeune725 in the song 'agust d', yoongi says 'a to the g to the u to the s, t, d'. this video is about the consonant ㅅ sounding like both s and t, which are letters said in the song

[@jupamoers]

Thanks, Hyunwoo. that's very helpful :) So when a word ends with ㅅ or is followed by a consonant it's a T. And when ㅅ is followed by a vowel, it becomes S

[@Shadowthevampire]

THANK YOU for clearing that up ❤

[@Shadowthevampire]

Do you think it's the same rule for ㅂ(P/B) ㄹ(R/L) and ㄷ(D/T)?

[@zamahsays7888]

I just came from a duolingo lesson and was SO confused about this. And duolingo doesnt explain... i just came to youtube to look for a korean kid show i can watch to help me with my studies. And this video was on top of my home page. Lol HOW IRONIC! just what i needed. Thanks for explaining 💜

[@cIoudyy]

Yeah- Duolingo focuses on romanization. Romanization sucks when learning a language that doesn’t have Roman letters.

[@JacquelineSzeto]

Also important to note that when followed by ㅣ, ㅅ becomes ‘sh’ as s and sh are allophones in korean:)

[@PaulCHa]

I was surprised he didn’t explain the SH sound.

I found you learners all so passionate about learning Korean. Impressive. Good luck to you. Korean as a forgien language sounds so complicated. I am lucky cause I don't need to learn Korean. Lol.

[@kjnightbird1772]

The word "Ot" sounds like something dripping. Ot, ot, ot. 😄

[@juls8242]

I've always wonderd why ㅅ ㅈ and ㅊ had a [t] sound...! And it's nice, because I also understood why consonants are "deaf" consonants in Korean when they're at the end of a syllable. ^^ It's all because of that "unfinished/unopened" sound rule. Very instructive, thank you!

[@JChang-kn6mx]

And also ㄷ, ㅌ and ㅎ

[@juls8242]

J. Chang Yeah ㄷ and ㅌ, of course ^^ and ㅎ too? I forgot that! :o Thanks for adding this information!

[@JChang-kn6mx]

@@juls8242 no problem but ㅎ with ㄷ, ㄱ, ㅂ or ㅈ changes it

[@juls8242]

J. Chang What do you mean?

[@JChang-kn6mx]

@@juls8242 sorry i was in a rush before i couldnt answer it fuply. Basically, the ㅎ is just breath and air right? So for example, 이렇게(mean like this or in this way) is romanised as [i-reot-ge] for each syllable but together it is [ireoke]. This is because the nornal unaspirated, nonbreathy consanant ㄱ is influenced by the ㅎ before it, since ㅎ is breathiness, ㄱ[g] turns into a ㅋ[k] sound. Same thing with some other consanants: 대답하다(means to respond or reply) [dae-dab-ha-da] together is pronounced [daedapada]. The ㅂ and ㅎ are combined to make a ㅍ sound. 좋다 (means to like or to be good) [joh-da]/[jot-da] is pronounced like jot-ta/졷타
