I’m waiting for my TTMIK books and have watched about 5 pronunciation videos and you’re the only one to confirm that « ㄱ » is pronounced « g » at the middle or end of a word. I inferred that from listening to podcasts and variety shows. But its nice that someone came out and said it to me Very concise and to the point. Thanks for helping me start my journey :)
please could you do similar videos for the other letters,ㄷㅌㄸ ㅂㅍㅃ, ㅈㅊㅉ, ㅅㅆ, and particularly help on the difference between the korean s and the english s. you're videos are so so helpful to me in my korean-learning journey! thank you😊
I've seen several similar explanations about this topic. Yours is the best. Great job explaining clearly the core differences of the different sounds properties. Hangeul is awesome in the way you don't have to guess a word pronunciation whereas in English you explained very well it can depend on the word. Looking forward seeing your next videos!
Just started learning korean and this video is really helpful. I had been struggling to differentiate the pronunciation of ㄱ ㅋ ㄲ. Now I know the difference. ㄲ is basically how I pronounce k in my native language and ㅋ is k in english. The challenge for me is ㄱ.
Wow. So useful and well explained. You’re inclusion of other languages helped me a lot. I am Brazilian and we speak português that it has lots of similar sounds. Thank you.
Thank you!! This is the first video I have come across after lots of searching that does an excellent job at explaining the differences between ㄱ ,ㄲ, and ㅋ and how to pronounce them! Game changer in my pronunciation!
선생님 감사합니다 🙇♂ That was the best explanation i've seen so far. Helped me realise my pronounciation was bad, like ""일꺼요"" with a tense throat instead of 읽어요, etc. Thank you so much !!
Well researched and presented. One of the best videos I've seen. Would be useful at the end if there was a couple of minutes listening and repeating practice at the end.
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve seen countless resources say ㄱ is somewhere in between g/k but never any explanation for how it actually overlaps with the English g/k. For the first time I feel like I finally understand how it’s pronounced and how it differs from ㅋ and ㄲ after watching your video
This video is outstandingly useful. It is one of the most wonderful well-explained Korean alphabet videos I have ever watched on TH-cam. Well done and 정말 감사합니다 ^_^
This was actually really helpful. Normally I'm skeptical about pronunciation videos that last so long, but your explanations were very clear and the explanation concise with no padding. Thanks!
Your explanations are fantastic! It’s very helpful how you explain what is happening in the throat/mouth and give a lot of examples and the actual differences from English
You’re fantastic at teaching! This is the most helpful video on Korean pronunciation that I’ve found. I will definitely be coming back to your channel as I continue to learn Korean!
Miss...You are an awesome teacher👍 You meke clear tricky situations where in our understanding regarding korean language...very cleverly....keep it up...all the best...good luck😁
This is the first time I've ever been able to understand the difference between the three of them! Thank you for including the example of casa, too. Fortunately for me, my first two experiences with learning foreign languages (and the ones I've studied the longest) were Spanish and Italian. Learning that I've been able to pronounce ㄲ this whole time (and now I have examples to fall back on for practice) has also boosted my confidence with learning Korean :)
감사합니다 Your Korean Saem, I am learning Korean language for the last 3 months and I found your video on TH-cam. You are explaining super well in a great vulgarize way!
Thank you so much!! It really shows the effort you put into these explanations 😭💜 They’re clear and concise and easy to follow. And thank you for also using Spanish in the examples, I really appreciate it 💜❤️🧡
struggling with these consonants and stumbled upon your video! thank you for this amazing explanation on how to differentiate and pronounce them! will checkout your entire channel for other hangul lessons :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH, I speak Spanish and my English is so basic so every time someone teach me the pronunciation they did it with examples in English and it was very difficult to me, with your example of "Casa" your really helped me a lot
This is really really helpful thank you so much!! I just happened to found this channel and I am in love with it for real! I was struggling with different pronunciations specially with vowels, but you really did help me alot and now i am watching all of your videos and taking notes of them in my note book 🙏🏻 감사합니다
Thank you 😍 Best explaination ever💞 . Could you also explain about ㅈ pronunciation? Because I sometimes hear it as 'J' sound in the middle of the word and more as 'CH' sound at the beginning of a word. What is the correct pronunciation?
Helena Abdel Samad much like ㄱ, the ㅈ is pronounced like a softer ch, or like j without the voicing! It’s hard to express it with the English alphabet 😅 will make a video about it someday to complete the consonant series
Thanks for a good video, it seems like in my native language ㄱ is the default K and I knew ㅋ from English... So ㄲ is the only challenge but I'm trying. ;)
According to the National Institute of Korean Language, ㄲ is unvoiced. Fun fact: there are some who claim that the double consonant was originally created for voiced consonants so we could pronounce sounds in other languages (primarily Chinese), but the Hangul system was a bit messed with around the 1930s (probably for political reasons, since we were colonized by Japan at the time). There seems to be a lot of debate regarding this topic, but the terms are so complicated and linguisticsy that I wasn't really able to follow. :X Anyway, short answer is no hehe.
I think the latters of the all language of the whole Asia are interrelated! The pronunciation of all the letters are pretty much similer. I am Bengali(Language of West Bengal, India) and I find similarity in pronunciation of the letters
what do you think of the alternative analysis mentioned on wikipedia, where ㄱ is underlying voiced /g/ that's devoiced in phrase-initial position, and is distinguished from ㅋ by tone/pitch? ㄱ /g/, -> #[kʰV˨(˧)], -> ._[ɡ]_ ㄲ /k/ (unaspirated) ㅋ /kʰ/ Coming from Chinese, ㄱ definitely sounds fairly strongly aspirated even when in phrase-onset position.
선생님 샘물, Great video, I always learn so much from you. I have subscribed to your site and have been looking around. I'm wondering if you have done a video on 니은? I'm told I don't say 니은 properly but I don't know why. I read somewhere that when you pronounce 니은 your tongue goes between your top and bottom rows of teeth, is that the proper placement? I say 니은 similar to the United States pronunciation where I place my tongue on the back of the top teeth. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 데이브 드름
Your tongue should not be between your teeth, behind the back of your top teeth is correct. Who said you were pronouncing it wrong and did they explain why?
@@YourKoreanSaem 선생님 샘물, 갑사힙니다. No particular person has told me what I'm doing is wrong, but several people I've talked with correct my 나는, but I can't really tell the difference from what they say and what I said. They do not say what is wrong, I will ask next time. I don't believe I have a strange accent, but I have lived in several different places around the world and pick up a little here and there...so maybe I picked up a speech pattern in Holland or Germany when I was living there that makes my 'n' sound strangee. 조심해요. 데이브 드림
you’re so helpful and underrated wtf
Exactly

You're the bomb! That is the best explanation I have gotten on this subject so far!
I struggled for two weeks to learn this. I just found your video and it helped SOOOO much. THANK YOUUUUU
I thought I had some understanding of ㄲ, but your examples just kept blowing my mind. Thank you so much for this!
Wow. So useful and well explained. You’re inclusion of other languages helped me a lot. I am Brazilian and we speak português that it has lots of similar sounds. Thank you.

You're explanation are the best. I wish I found your videos sooner.
Thanks this video helped a lot! Could you also do one on ㄷ,ㄸ, and ㅌ?
Yes I'll try to upload one soon!
@@YourKoreanSaem I love your vidssssss especially the parts where you through words from different languages at the end that have the sound
This is the most helpful video I've found, in most youtube videos they use very imprecise terms like "soft and harsh" so this was so refreshing
This was actually really helpful. Normally I'm skeptical about pronunciation videos that last so long, but your explanations were very clear and the explanation concise with no padding. Thanks!
Your videos are so incredible helpful and your methodology and dynamic is essential to make us understand it better. 잘 봤습니다.
Your explanations are fantastic! It’s very helpful how you explain what is happening in the throat/mouth and give a lot of examples and the actual differences from English
Hi Saemmul, this was probably the clearest explanation of ㄱ, ㅋ, and ㄲ I have ever heard.
Thank you~~
You’re fantastic at teaching! This is the most helpful video on Korean pronunciation that I’ve found. I will definitely be coming back to your channel as I continue to learn Korean!
This is the most helpful video I have seen on pronunciation!!!
Thank you!!!
The ‘tikka masala’ helped a lot 👍🏼
It's literally the perfect substitute
Miss...You are an awesome teacher👍

As an English/Spanish speaker, hiccup and casa were top tier examples you just made my life so much easier
1:30 just my repeat time 🙂
Best video I've seen explaining this! Thank you!
This was the absolutely most helpful tutorial!
You're videos have been the most helpful for pronunciation, thank you!!
I am learning Korean for 3 years but still I was unable to differentiate among these consonants. Now thanks to you I have grab the concept .. 감사합니다 ❤
감사합니다 Your Korean Saem, I am learning Korean language for the last 3 months and I found your video on TH-cam. You are explaining super well in a great vulgarize way!
Thank you so much!! It really shows the effort you put into these explanations 😭💜 They’re clear and concise and easy to follow. And thank you for also using Spanish in the examples, I really appreciate it 💜❤️🧡
might be the only video that actually helped me, thanks!
Second video of yours that I've watched. These are so helpful! Thank you so much.
What can I say? To say this video is excellent would be an understatement. Thanks for the super-awesome video. Keep up the good work.
THANK YOU!! you really have an knack for teaching!!
So helpful! I was confused with those sounds but now I see the difference a little bit 💜
Omg this is the best explanation I ever found thank you so much
Your explanation is so accurate and clear. Thanks for the awesome work! I cant wait to see the future of this channel!
Thank you so much for your videos. I love the way you explain pronunciation. Can you please do a video for the vowels if not already available?
This helped so muchhh!!! Thank you!!

Wow, excellent explanations!!!
Great explanation and examples, really helpful.
So helpful! Thank you!
pretty teacher
i cant believe the subs only 20k+

Thank you 😍 Best explaination ever💞 . Could you also explain about ㅈ pronunciation? Because I sometimes hear it as 'J' sound in the middle of the word and more as 'CH' sound at the beginning of a word. What is the correct pronunciation?
You are right! It's more like a J in the middle of a word and closer to ch (but without the burst of air) at the beginning.
So it becomes more like tj than ch in the beginning of a word?
Helena Abdel Samad much like ㄱ, the ㅈ is pronounced like a softer ch, or like j without the voicing! It’s hard to express it with the English alphabet 😅 will make a video about it someday to complete the consonant series
I was having such a hard time but this was so helpful! Thank you so much :)
So helpful!
Wonderful video. 감사합니다!
PS: You’re very pretty
Tikka masala really is a great example I got the whole point from it, thank you
Very well explained. However, it would have been nice if you had included some examples of Korean words using these different sounds as well
This makes so much sense thank you.
Thank you. I fully understand the differences now.
thanks for this wonderful explanation!! im going to subscribe :)
'tika masala' example was helpful, to correctly identify how 까 sounds.
This video helped me a lot, thank you so much ❤️
Please upload video on difference between ㅇ and ㅎ in pronunciation.
thank you so much !! this was a great help and you're amazing at explaining !
i understood it very quickly - thank you ! :)
thank you soooo much!!! i understood it immediately, cause i understand as it's similar to japanese double consonants
this video was so helpful thank youuu
Thank you so much for this video. It really helped a lot.
I recommend the korean pronuciation lite app it shows you the sound and the way the tongue is supposed to move
Thank you so much for these explanations! I appreciate the detailed examples :))
Thanks for a good video, it seems like in my native language ㄱ is the default K and I knew ㅋ from English... So ㄲ is the only challenge but I'm trying. ;)
You can do it! 😆
Wow this was amazing. Thank you

This was your best hair of 2019.
Thank you so much for the video! :)
you're awesome, thank you
awesome video 👏👏👏
I think the latters of the all language of the whole Asia are interrelated! The pronunciation of all the letters are pretty much similer. I am Bengali(Language of West Bengal, India) and I find similarity in pronunciation of the letters
what do you think of the alternative analysis mentioned on wikipedia, where ㄱ is underlying voiced /g/ that's devoiced in phrase-initial position, and is distinguished from ㅋ by tone/pitch?
ㄱ /g/,
-> #[kʰV˨(˧)],
-> ._[ɡ]_
ㄲ /k/ (unaspirated)
ㅋ /kʰ/
Coming from Chinese, ㄱ definitely sounds fairly strongly aspirated even when in phrase-onset position.
You are amazing!!!

Wow! I think I’ve got ㅋ and ㄲ but ㄱ is still quite fuzzy! I’ll work on it! Thank you so much!
Please make more videos like this.
Oh god this is amazing thank you so much
한국인이지만 재밌게봤어요 ㅎㅎㅎ 한국인이 설명하면 ㄱ는 약하고 ㅋ는 세고 ㄲ은 짱세다 이게 설명 끝이라서.. 그걸 어떻게 정립하고 설명하는지 항상 궁금했어요 ㅋㅋ특히 ㄱ이 g라고 생각하는 사람들많고 저도 그렇게 생각했는데 다르졍.. ㄲ은 hiccup으로 생각하면 설명하기도 쉽고 그러네요!
Love it! Thank you! 🖤
omg super helpful! thank you so much :)
Thank you for the video 😊
This explains it perfectly! 감사합니다
감사합니다!
So is it like this?
ㄱ=/gʰ/
ㄲ=/ˈg/
ㅋ=/kʰ/
