- This is the second of a 4-part series on Korean pronunciation. The goal is to get familiar with the sounds of Korean and the IPA symbols. You'll then be able to learn them faster, either through your own studies or through my pronunciation trainers. More links below:

damn he really wasn't kidding when he said that Korean pronunciation is hard last video...
this video is way better than most learning videos I've seen. thanks for free education!!!
As a korean person myself who has also taken a linguistics class in college it was cool to see a video explaining things that came naturally to me explained linguistically
We're happy to hear you liked the video!
The pictures of the mouths are so helpful! Thanks for that guys
Thank you for these videos! I've been learning Korean for over a year, and I wish I found your book and these videos sooner. They are making quite a difference for me and I believe I will improve faster from now on. 진심으로 감사합니다
the way you describe all this is perfect for me, makes it easier to grasp. thank you
You’re quite welcome!
OMG, how it is possible to distinguish these sounds! Very difficult for eastern european
watching these videos is showing me i never learned to speak English as a native speaker even though I am a native speaker. My tongue sits in most of these positions naturally which is giving me an existential crisis
Honestly, I've never seen anything better explanatined than the topic in thid video. Thank you for all the videos ❤❤❤
I'm a native English speaker. But I can also read Arabic with the correct pronunciation. So, learning to pronounce Hangul ain't as bad. The Hangul consonants I learned in less than 20 minutes. But, the vowels are a bit trickier since they all nearly look the same, and some sound the same. I just started learning Hangul as of February 2021. I will try to study it at least 10 minutes a day for a couple months to see what progress I make. My goals are to read hangul smoothly and fast with the correct pronunciation. Whilst learning new vocubulary.
Amazing video! I have been learning Hindi for the last 3 years and how you describe the consonants with aspiration and intensity is so similar. Great explanations!
We're happy you liked the video!
I really appreciate these pronunciation videos, thanks for the valuable learning resources!
We're so glad to hear that you find them useful and we wish you good luck in your language learning pursuits! 😊
Such a goood video!!!! Very much information condensed in 8 minutes, which is very very good. Thank you a lot for this series of videos
Interesting but the speaking is fast, it is hard to process.
I knowwww ugh I'm never gonna get this
oh so im not the only one...
Y'all just dumb
@@Emile.gorgonZola straight up, fuck you
@@Emile.gorgonZola not everyone can understand fast, don't be arrogant
I would love if differents examples were available
5:58 I hear absolutely no distinction between the three.
great video!! helps so much with ㄹ
At 1:10 , why is the word ɯŋɡɯpɕil written as a tense consonant, and why at the bottom the same word is written with a tense "s"? And so is the same letter marked as tense in 2:52.
And I don't hear the korean L as a normal IPA L. It sounds as if the tongue did not touch the alveolar. So the double L does sound like a combination of the non-alveolar L and a true alveolar L. My native tongue is Tamil (Dravidian) and we use a lot of double L (alveolar and retroflex) and R (apical and laminal). So i can hear the Korean double L to be very distinct from ours.
I wonder how do Korean people scream or slightly raise their voice in anger or simply want to put emphasis on that word? In my native language "sam" can be pronounced both like 삼 and 쌈. You can hear the latter when spoken in anger or the other cases I mentioned.
Same!! I've thought of this same question, too!
Go to Settings (the gear icon) and set the speed to .75 or even .5. Pause to give yourself time to repeat afterwards.
i hope you update your videos i think you have new ideas.
👍 useful I Appreciate this video Gabriel thanks !
Can you please explain me why in the first video the consonant ㅂ is pronounced as "p" and here you pronounce it as "b"?? Amazing videos by the way, I'm starting to learn Korean with those and they're great! Thanks :)
it is 'b' when in front of a vowel in a syllable in the middle of the word as opposed to starting a word.
@@brijo9299not if there is an unvoiced consonant before it
@@ikhebdieishetnietgoeddathe4057 can you give me an example? This is from 6 years ago and by now I barely even understand what I was trying to say back then lmaoo
@@brijo9299 These are two examples, though they are just examples and not existing words:
암비: ambi. M is a voiced consonant so ㅂ = /b/
앗비: atbi. T is an unvoiced consonant so ㅂ = /p/ (though it still gets generally romanized as ‘b’ like I did
So if the consonant before is a t, p, k sound or the letter h: then it’s not pronounced as ‘b’
@@ikhebdieishetnietgoeddathe4057 ahh yes you’re right thanks for pointing that out
I’m finding much of the illustrated instructions misleading…and I’m a U.S. born person with a BFA in Illustration. For ex: When speaking English “L”, I don’t place tip of tongue where you show English speakers placing it, I actually place it where you show Koreans placing it. And this is one of several inaccuracies I have noted on your channel. This is creating unnecessary confusion in Westerners trying to learn Korean, where they’re being told there is a difference where there isn’t one.
I know this comment is old... But depending where you are from the sounds you are making will be different from sounds in another area
That including tongue position
But I understand your problem
I'm not a native user of English and most of the korean tongue positions are natural for me instead of English ones
Omg you're telling me I have korean tongue. I've been pronouncing english like koreans lol 3:51 3:16
Very helpful ! 👍
the symbol for "w" is the same symbol as "o" in the next video ,, how do you tell the difference between them ?? trying to make flashcards for these is so difficult because they conflict eachother
"w" doesn't have its own letter. It's spelled as "u" or "o" when combined with other vowels.
I do like the video, but I find it goes way to fast for me to process the pronounciation of each letter.
This video was incredibly informative and helpful, but I have a few questions. First, you mentioned voiced consonants, but I thought all Korean consonants were unvoiced. Secondly, could you make another video talking about how to pronounce ㄴ and ㅁ? I don't believe you mentioned them in your video series, and seeing how detailed your advice is, it would definitely help me out a lot on my Korean journey. Thanks!
Korean consonants can be voiced or unvoiced, depending on where they are in the word. At the beginning of the word, they're voiced, but between two vowels or after a nasal (m,n) or the ng sound, they're voiced. It's kind of like how consonants can switch from being aspirated vs. unaspirated in English depending on if they are at the beginning of a word like t in "top" or after another consonant like in "stop" or "captor", even though both are written as t.
2:45: why is the ㅅ a silent t and not a s?
Thank you for those videos by the way, I got quite confused while learning the korean alphabet and those videos are helping me a lot ^^
So happy to hear they've helped you! Is Korean your target language?
@@FluentForeverApp yes, it is :)
Hi Mimo, Awesome! We hope you will be able to learn it easily with our help!
Is "unreleased" the same as "tense"?
at 2:50 why is it a t sound when it is a symbol for s. shouldnt it be the symbol that looks close to a c ?
It's a sound rule change. When s is the last consonant at the end of a syllable it turns into t
These videos that you did about the korean language are awesomeeeeeee THANK YOU, YOU ARE HELPING ME A LOT, but my slow mind cant go as fast as you talk hahaha i have to pause the video or repeat the last 5 seconds ive heard to follow you hahahaha.
Isn't that [ ɾ ] an alveolar tap? I mean, the one the English pronounce between 'law and order' and Americans in 'water' instead of the [t]?
there's some distracting sounds going on in the background sadly. Probably an echo or sth
SO HELPFUL THANK YOU
Do you have any book or reference for me to study furthermore?
Hello Rifat,
Do you mean for the method itself?
wait isnt the B sound in this video and the P sound in the last video the same? Why have the english letters changed?
Anoushka Allam
Not the same... you're just not used to hearing unaspirated P probably
Woow so hard -_- !!! l can’t tell the difference at all 😖 gotta work hard
I loved this video but indeed, way too fast for me to process. Especially when they're pronouncing words only once.
We’re happy that you found this video useful Oscar! We’re sorry that it’s a little fast to process but reviewing the video a few times might be helpful to pick up on the pronunciation. 🙂
Best explanation video, however i feel that you went to fast.. next time could you slow down and give more exmaples? THank you. for giving time to teach.
I paused a lot and took notes!! Awesome!
笨蛋
I love you..... a lot
Please slow down. I'd rather watch an hour long video and be able to understand, process, and use what you've put time into teaching. The fast animations with the fast speaking is a lot to process. Please and thank you, still a useful video :)
