I feel pretty confident about ㄹ. I definitely have trouble differentiating the double consonants (working on listening practice helps!) But the pronunciations I find hardest are the diphthongs, especially 위 웨 의 are hard to tell apart.
The part near the end of the video where you were pronouncing the words purposefully incorrect got me laughing because I've been saying 2 or 3 of those wrong and didn't realize it until then haha
I cant hear the difference at all but I just started learning a couple weeks ago. Makes me realize I have a LONG way to go but the encouragement through the whole thing made me feel like I can do it if I work hard. I'm not scared to mispronounce things anymore!!
Love when you both collaborate together on videos like this. In my estimation you both are the top teachers of the Korean language. What a fabulous book. I'm definitely going to get it when I get to a certain level. What makes the videos so awesome is Billy is an American who is fluent in the Korean language both spoken and written. While Hyunwoo Sun is a native Korean who is fluent in the English language. Both spoken and written. I also know that Mr Sun also speaks about three other languages. How is your Spanish coming along Mr Sun? 😊 TIP: to those who are starting out learning the Korean language. DON'T USE ROMANIZATION to learn the language. I made this mistake and it's making it harder for me to learn Korean.
@@talktomeinkorean 대박! I'm studying Korean as well as Spanish and Greek (I have my hands in too many languages!). It can be difficult, but it is a lot of fun! 화이팅!
I'm a beginner. I'm still having some trouble with the diphthongs and I can't figure out how the syllable blocks work, like, when do you construct a word as c|v , c over v (can't type it), c|v over c and c|v over c|c . But I'm glad I cud read and understand the words in 한글 in your conversation (^^)
As an English speaker learning Korean, pronunciation is a challenge. Two things have been enormously helpful. 1. TTMIK's audio files. Couldn't learn Korean without them. The app is great and I use it everyday! 2. Kdramas. I can't begin to tell you how many times I've learned the correct pronunciation through a Kdrama I'm watching. Entertained and learning at the same time. 😀 Thank you for this video! Billy expressed many of the same questions and confusions I've felt as a Korean language learner and inspires me to keep going!! The TTMIK books and lessons address the challenges and support the learner.
when you’re judging difficulty from an english speaker’s pov, i think its best that u point that out i.e. ㄹ could be hard for english speakers, but not so much for other language speakers
My current understanding of ㄹ is it is Spanish/Italian "R" tongue flick when surrounded by vowels, and L when it is double ㄹㄹ or at the end of a sound. This shows me I have much more to learn.
yesss i love the billy collabs! these 2 channels (and the ttmik website) have been excellent learning tools in my journey so far! i just finished ttmik's level 5 so seeing that this book is available to further refine my pronunciation and not fall into any consonant assimilation bad habit traps kindof makes it a must buy. thanks for letting me know about it and aloha from a fan in hawaii (:
I’m learning Korean now and I can tell you it is very difficult for me. I’m from Poland and speak fluent British English but none of these helps. Polish is mostly pronounced exactly as it’s written, English is the opposite. Korean seems to be somewhere in between. After few hours of practice my brain is fried. Just from trying to remember the exceptions to the rule. I really hope to be able to learn it though as I’m planning to come to Korea in few months time to join my wife.
They have a app called TTMIK audio where you can listen and download audio files for all their books and if you buy it you get a link to download them from the website also
initially ㄹ+ㅕ/ㅛ/ㅑ/ㅠ. that took me so much practice to say comfortably. Now it's just '꼭'. it just requires so much more effort to say compared to any other sound
This book is great! I bought it last month and it really helps a person with anxiety over wrong pronunciation to gain the confidence to try and speak. Not that everything is now correct but it just gave me the necessary boost. I pick and choose which pair/trio sounds I want to work on, so it doesn't feel like boring routine practice.
When it comes to 오 and 어, they sound wildly different to me, so it's weird to see them compared to other sounds people find "similar" to each other, but then I struggle with the rest ^^ I'm new to learning korean (saving up for some of your textbooks!) and have only briefly learnt about the phonetics of my native language, which is european portuguese, but we have a similar distinction between two of our vowels, [o] (in "folha", which means "leaf" or "sheet") and [ɔ] (in "bota", which means "boot"). They're two very different sounds, so we notice right away if someone switches them around. Of course, I don't think the sounds are the same as 오 and 어, but [o] sounds pretty much the same as 오 to my ears, and 어 reminded me a lot of [ɔ] in some of the examples (just not as open). I still struggle with distinguishing a lot of the sounds though, sometimes even when the differences are audible, they're hard to replicate! ^^' double consonants are definitely challenging, and the consonant ㄹ confuses me a lot, since I know it's not an "r" and not an "l", but it sounds so much like [ɾ] at times.
Hi, my native language is also european portuguese so I was very thrilled about finding your comment since I don't know any portuguese people learning Korean yet. I struggle with most of these sounds too but as you said, I also find 오 and 어 very different in pronunciation. When did you start learning?
@@veronicaalexandre7576 that's wonderful to hear, I also haven't met anyone from Portugal who's learning korean yet ^^ I've been interested in learning korean for maybe 5 years, since I like to watch korean variety shows and dramas, and that's actually also how I started taking an interest in learning english! The language itself just sounds so beautiful (edit: korean, I mean, though I love english!) ^^ Unfortunately I can't find any "in-person" classes around me, they're mostly for european languages, and other than that there's mandarin and japanese. I've been learning what I can by myself through videos and websites, as well as saving up for some textbooks, so I've barely gotten started, but I can at least understand simple sentences when I hear or read them! I really want to enroll in actual classes as soon as I can ^^ Hopefully you've had a better experience with opportunities to learn around you, or maybe you've found some websites that work for you! What is it like for you? ^^
This video was really great. However, I wish that you could have done it a little more slowly because it was super helpful, but a little fast for me! 😄 But I learned a lot!
I never had issues distinguishing between 오 and 어 as an english speaker. it's pretty easy to understand that the first one is pronounced like "oh" and second one sounds like "aw"
What helped me understand the difference between regular and double consonants is instead of thinking that doubles are stressed think that they are physically tense. Before releasing the sound you build a lot of tension in your mouth or throat depending on what sound you pronounce.
OMG. I am currently attending Korean class and 우리 선생님은 said we're good at reading, but pronounciation needs more practice even though I think we pronounce it right (?) 😅. I think I need this.
I don’t have troubles identifying the sound of ㅗ and ㅓ. As for double consonants, I’ve improved in identifying ㄱ/ㄲ, ㄷ/ㄸ, ㅈ/ㅉ, ㅂ/ㅃ except for ㅅ/ㅆ 😭 I’m still having a hard time with ㅅ/ㅆ
for me as a Vietnamese speaker, i've actually never had trouble differentiating between 오 and 어 since we also have 2 different letters for those sounds in our alphabet. it's interesting how we can use a third language to help learn Korean!
I’ve been learning for years but I’m making slow progress since I just rely on free materials 😅 I can’t really afford the books so I just trust myself learning through free courses 😁
I have a speech impediment so I have a hard time with some english words and here I am trying to learn korean without any help on how to pronounce hangul
It's easy for me to pronounce korean. Like I speak Hindi as my first language. It's not very different from Korean. And for native English speakers,it would be very hard. Am at a advantage at this
@@yoori6836 In Indonesia we have many different language, for example in Javanese language we have "Loro". If you read O like 오 sound the meaning is two, if you read with 어 sound the meaning is hurt. I'm sorry if there is any mistakes in my grammar
Great book. Thank you. In the book it says to practice again while watching the video. I feel like a dummy but can’t find the videos in the app anywhere. Could you help?
I speak spanish and english and learned brazilian portuguese so luckily the ㄹ I have been able to understand through the combination of pronunciation of the r and l in these languages
두 분 보는 게 너무 재밌어요 (hope I got the grammar right 🤔). I enjoy having the insight from both the native and non-native perspective. I've been subscribed to both of your channels and learning with you for almost a year now. Your books, videos, classes complement each other so well. 빌리와 현우에게 한국어를 가르쳐줘서 고마워요. 😊👍💜
I absolutely LOVED this book! By the time this book came out, I had already been working for several months with a pronunciation teacher. Where my original teacher had gone over some of the sound change rules and said, "it will just come naturally," my pronunciation teacher went much further, much like the book, and that really helped! So having this book and working through the lessons one day at a time, was great and showed just how much I had learned from my pronunciation teacher (excellent double check on my own learning and understanding). Net result is between my teacher and TTMIK, I now get a lot of compliments on my pronunciation. Even my current grammar teacher (a native speaker) commented that she wished all her students could pronounce ㄹ as well as I do. (She's very kind). Thank you TTMIK for producing this book...I've recommended it quite often.
Im really good at the consonants because I'm not a native English speaker. I'm a native Indian and I know Hindi very fluently. And as hindi has 52 sounds, and some from other languages too, that we don't count in these 52, it's really easy to distinguish the korean sounds, as there are some korean consonants have more than 1 sounds, in Hindi, we have different consonants for those korean sounds. So, it's easy.
Wow.. I am in my learning journey and this will help me even i am familiar with the Words but pronunciation is really hard for me practicing is really important.
Am I the only one to whom ㄴㄹ sounds more natural than ㄹㄹ?😅 I know it’s wrong but I always have to force myself to assimilate these two sounds. I guess this might be because I am used to it from studying Japanese a few years ago
As a Brazilian, I don't find the pronunciation of Korean vowels challenging (we use almost all korean vowels sound), but I do find the rhythm of the 'isolated' consonants at the end of a syllable very difficult. This is because in Portuguese, at least in Brazilian Portuguese, we don't use this type of sound, then every time we intend to put a "i" sound after the isolated consonant
For me,learning Korean was quite easy, thankfully. Mostly because I've been around native Korean speakers and been hearing it be spoken all my life thanks to my mom's friend who's Korean, and many shop owners in the area I live in who are also Korean! :)
It took me not that long to learn ㄹ sound cuz i always liked making r sounds like that. Anything i say a word with ㄹ my siblings or friends pronounce either r or l 😂 and i always say, its r and l at the same time or say r but say l with it too. Its very hard to pronounce unless yiu learn how to 😅 took me quite a bit of time to learn
Really enjoyed watching this collab I haven't started fully studying yet I'm trying to decide what will be the best way for me to learn as I'm someone who is a native English speaker who watches things in Korean and Japanese all the time and both get stuck in my brain which is a good and a bad thing 😅
The part where he pronounced the ㄴ + ㄹ without the sound change is how to pronounce the words correctly in standard Mandarin. When he said Shin-lang, I thought he was speaking Chinese for a sec >
I have a sister trying to learn Greek while I'm trying to learn Korean. I'll have to try to remember to let her know that these two letters have similar sounds.
I thought I had all figured it out regarding pronouncing ㄹ as a first consonant (example: 라면) but now, after this, I'm back at square one (I won't even bother mentioning the whole 받침 ㄹ situation) 😅
I speak English, German, and Malayalam and the sound comparisons are kind of useless in the first two, but knowing Malayalam has helped me differentiate all the Korean sounds, boy did I get lucky there
You know, teachers, to me, a mandarin speaker(I'm from Singapore), honestly I think pronouncing ㄴ+ㄹ (as in 연락) is not really an issue at all. And it doesn't sound weird to me at all because in mandarin, we're used to pronouncing such words (like 联络). So one of the most confusing moments in learning Korean is assimilation. I'd be thinking, why do Koreans make it difficult by changing the pronunciation? But I've gotten used to it. 😀
The double letters are really confusing.🤔 I'm still trying to figure out how ㅅ and ㅆ differs in pronounciation. Though this is just out of curiosity on the language.
I'm from Latvia. We have lot of similar sounds, but ㅡ I take from Russian language. Some sounds is strange together and doesn't roll off easily. For me difficult is that there are many words were you have to write different from sounds you hear. And difrents between k, kk, k', t,tt,t' and so on. We have sounds like these in general, but all off them in writing is just one letter. Other letters in words help with right sound.
Thank you sir for discussing on such an interesting and important topic. I have a doubt regarding the difference in the pronunciation of the sound "U" in the words like 는 (Nun) and 곳(Kut), the word you have quoted as an example. Could you kindly explain me the difference in the pronunciation of the sound "U" through an audio clip?
I have studied to varying degrees French, Russian, and Korean. They all seem to have a similar sound (at least it sounds that way to my brain). In French it's "eu", in Russian it's "ы", and in Korean it's "의". They all seem to involve holding the mouth in a more contracted position and saying a sound which is halfway between what would be two vowels in English; and they all have an "i" component to their sound. I use my knowledge of one to help me pronounce the others.
English to Korean learning is probably the most challenging because their alphabets are very incompatible to each other. Learning from an Indian language however, largely simplifies things because we have a lot of the same sounds, and in case of tamil, a lot of the same words.

I bought the book as well
I don’t have troubles identifying the sound of ㅗ and ㅓ. As for double consonants, I’ve improved in identifying ㄱ/ㄲ, ㄷ/ㄸ, ㅈ/ㅉ, ㅂ/ㅃ except for ㅅ/ㅆ 😭 I’m still having a hard time with ㅅ/ㅆ
for me as a Vietnamese speaker, i've actually never had trouble differentiating between 오 and 어 since we also have 2 different letters for those sounds in our alphabet. it's interesting how we can use a third language to help learn Korean!
My two favourite 교수님!😍
Love this collab of 2 teachers.
The collab of the century!
using a hijabi character with 요 &여 was just cute😂😂 오늘도 좋은 내용 공유 감사합니다~~
The collaboration we didn’t know we needed
Hi, Billy! I'm already subscribed.
What really helped me with ㄹ was thinking about it as the sound between R and L.
The Sound for ㄹ is similar to the sanskrit letter ळ and ㅢ reminds me of ऐ, that's why I could pick it up easily
11:10 😂 that's probably how I sound like, I've already learnt the alphabet but not all these pronunciation rules (yet)
빌리 선생님 대단하고 겸손하네요. 계속 성공 많이 하시면 좋겠어요!^^

This is awesome 🥰
It was one of the most interesting videos on learning korean ... 💕
This is helpful and encouraging!
I’ve been learning for years but I’m making slow progress since I just rely on free materials 😅 I can’t really afford the books so I just trust myself learning through free courses 😁
Sweet! I'm loving this collab. :)
헷갈릴 수 있는 말들 잘 비교해서 설명해주니 이해하기 쉬워요.
감사합니다

I have a speech impediment so I have a hard time with some english words and here I am trying to learn korean without any help on how to pronounce hangul
In a case of a double consonant it changes the sound of a vowel next to it - it will sound in a higher tone
more of this, thank you
It's easy for me to pronounce korean. Like I speak Hindi as my first language. It's not very different from Korean. And for native English speakers,it would be very hard. Am at a advantage at this
4:35 You want someone that looks at you the way Billy looks at Hyunwoo
i like this video. thank you!
The 오 어 sound is easier for me as Indonesian. Because we have different sound of O too.. Interesting ...
Thank you so much...
Oh really? Can you tell me some of them?
@@yoori6836 In Indonesia we have many different language, for example in Javanese language we have "Loro". If you read O like 오 sound the meaning is two, if you read with 어 sound the meaning is hurt. I'm sorry if there is any mistakes in my grammar

Great book. Thank you. In the book it says to practice again while watching the video. I feel like a dummy but can’t find the videos in the app anywhere. Could you help?
I speak spanish and english and learned brazilian portuguese so luckily the ㄹ I have been able to understand through the combination of pronunciation of the r and l in these languages
두 분 보는 게 너무 재밌어요 (hope I got the grammar right 🤔). I enjoy having the insight from both the native and non-native perspective. I've been subscribed to both of your channels and learning with you for almost a year now. Your books, videos, classes complement each other so well. 빌리와 현우에게 한국어를 가르쳐줘서 고마워요. 😊👍💜
정말 감사합니다!!!! I enjoy hanging out and collaborating with Billy!
I absolutely LOVED this book! By the time this book came out, I had already been working for several months with a pronunciation teacher. Where my original teacher had gone over some of the sound change rules and said, "it will just come naturally," my pronunciation teacher went much further, much like the book, and that really helped! So having this book and working through the lessons one day at a time, was great and showed just how much I had learned from my pronunciation teacher (excellent double check on my own learning and understanding). Net result is between my teacher and TTMIK, I now get a lot of compliments on my pronunciation. Even my current grammar teacher (a native speaker) commented that she wished all her students could pronounce ㄹ as well as I do. (She's very kind). Thank you TTMIK for producing this book...I've recommended it quite often.
우와 정말 감사합니다!! So happy to hear that this book helped you a lot!! ^^
one of my best friends is named Heeju!! was way too excited to hear her name used 😂
Nice!! :)
Why aren't you subscribed to his channel?
But sir, I AM !
I love the collab tho
Im really good at the consonants because I'm not a native English speaker. I'm a native Indian and I know Hindi very fluently. And as hindi has 52 sounds, and some from other languages too, that we don't count in these 52, it's really easy to distinguish the korean sounds, as there are some korean consonants have more than 1 sounds, in Hindi, we have different consonants for those korean sounds. So, it's easy.
Wow.. I am in my learning journey and this will help me even i am familiar with the Words but pronunciation is really hard for me practicing is really important.
Am I the only one to whom ㄴㄹ sounds more natural than ㄹㄹ?😅 I know it’s wrong but I always have to force myself to assimilate these two sounds.
I guess this might be because I am used to it from studying Japanese a few years ago
Same for me! Actually in most languages this kind of assimilation doesn't happen
Thank You~~ this is so good~
This would have been very helpful a while ago lol, by now I figured all these out from experience. Always helpful with a refresher tho 😁
As a Brazilian, I don't find the pronunciation of Korean vowels challenging (we use almost all korean vowels sound), but I do find the rhythm of the 'isolated' consonants at the end of a syllable very difficult. This is because in Portuguese, at least in Brazilian Portuguese, we don't use this type of sound, then every time we intend to put a "i" sound after the isolated consonant
Me encantan estas colaboraciones!! Definitivamente las consonantes dobles es lo mas dificil para mi.
For me,learning Korean was quite easy, thankfully. Mostly because I've been around native Korean speakers and been hearing it be spoken all my life thanks to my mom's friend who's Korean, and many shop owners in the area I live in who are also Korean! :)
OOOOOOOH i need this ,…. Book Candy. 😄
It took me not that long to learn ㄹ sound cuz i always liked making r sounds like that. Anything i say a word with ㄹ my siblings or friends pronounce either r or l 😂 and i always say, its r and l at the same time or say r but say l with it too. Its very hard to pronounce unless yiu learn how to 😅 took me quite a bit of time to learn
Really enjoyed watching this collab I haven't started fully studying yet I'm trying to decide what will be the best way for me to learn as I'm someone who is a native English speaker who watches things in Korean and Japanese all the time and both get stuck in my brain which is a good and a bad thing 😅
You guys 😂 재미있있어요 ^^
This collab!!!
The part where he pronounced the ㄴ + ㄹ without the sound change is how to pronounce the words correctly in standard Mandarin. When he said Shin-lang, I thought he was speaking Chinese for a sec >
세상에! 이 두분을 한 화면에서 보다니! ^^
Thank god we have the consonant ㄹ in Greek too..
ㄹ = ρ
For the Greek learners learning korean
I have a sister trying to learn Greek while I'm trying to learn Korean. I'll have to try to remember to let her know that these two letters have similar sounds.
@@eclecticdreams sure thing! The sounds are exactly the same ! Wish your sister all the luck in learning Greek !
There was a male contestant on Produce 101 named Lee Euiwoong (이의웅). At first, his name was tricky to pronounce. I have no problem now. :)
I thought I had all figured it out regarding pronouncing ㄹ as a first consonant (example: 라면) but now, after this, I'm back at square one (I won't even bother mentioning the whole 받침 ㄹ situation) 😅
I speak English, German, and Malayalam and the sound comparisons are kind of useless in the first two, but knowing Malayalam has helped me differentiate all the Korean sounds, boy did I get lucky there
You know, teachers, to me, a mandarin speaker(I'm from Singapore), honestly I think pronouncing ㄴ+ㄹ (as in 연락) is not really an issue at all. And it doesn't sound weird to me at all because in mandarin, we're used to pronouncing such words (like 联络). So one of the most confusing moments in learning Korean is assimilation. I'd be thinking, why do Koreans make it difficult by changing the pronunciation? But I've gotten used to it. 😀
Never clicked so fast , who’s here for billy
Me!!
Me too!
The double letters are really confusing.🤔
I'm still trying to figure out how ㅅ and ㅆ differs in pronounciation. Though this is just out of curiosity on the language.
I always thought Sakura 벛꽃 is really difficult/awkward to pronounce.
ow english person hi im korea person welcome to korea
12:05 Lol...I love this joke so much 🤣
I'm from Latvia. We have lot of similar sounds, but ㅡ I take from Russian language. Some sounds is strange together and doesn't roll off easily. For me difficult is that there are many words were you have to write different from sounds you hear. And difrents between k, kk, k', t,tt,t' and so on. We have sounds like these in general, but all off them in writing is just one letter. Other letters in words help with right sound.

저에게 가장 어려운 것 같는 소리는 "오"였어요. "우"하고 너무 같아요. 제 모국어에 "어"하고 "우"만 있으니까 "오"를 알기 어려웠지만 지금은 알아요.
Thank you sir for discussing on such an interesting and important topic. I have a doubt regarding the difference in the pronunciation of the sound "U" in the words like 는 (Nun) and 곳(Kut), the word you have quoted as an example. Could you kindly explain me the difference in the pronunciation of the sound "U" through an audio clip?
Not sure if it helps, but the words you wrote don't have a U sound. 으 is more of an EU sound, and 오 is a long O sound.
The ㄹ sound is not too difficult for me as a native Spanish speaker but, the 으, or the ㅇ at the end of a Word, That's the most difficult to me
Ah... every pronounciation was so easy to lear for me but double consonants are so hard ㅎㅎㅎ
im still working on ㄹ. whether it's R or L, i haven't quiet figured it out yet
I have studied to varying degrees French, Russian, and Korean. They all seem to have a similar sound (at least it sounds that way to my brain). In French it's "eu", in Russian it's "ы", and in Korean it's "의". They all seem to involve holding the mouth in a more contracted position and saying a sound which is halfway between what would be two vowels in English; and they all have an "i" component to their sound. I use my knowledge of one to help me pronounce the others.
English to Korean learning is probably the most challenging because their alphabets are very incompatible to each other. Learning from an Indian language however, largely simplifies things because we have a lot of the same sounds, and in case of tamil, a lot of the same words.
Can confirm as a native english speaker, the struggle is REAL. I'm getting there though, just slowly.
