Clear, clinical explanations of Korean pronunciation for learners — final consonants, vowels and sound change rules, written by speech-language pathologists.
Korean has 27 written final consonants but only 7 sounds. Learn the 7 batchim sounds, why final stops are never released, and the drills that fix the most common mistakes.
Korean is not pronounced the way it is written. Learn the six sound change rules — liaison, nasalisation, tensification, lateralisation, palatalisation and aspiration — with examples and the order to learn them in.
ㅓ/ㅗ and ㅡ/ㅜ differ by one thing — lip rounding. Learn the mouth positions, the minimal pairs that prove it, and the mirror drill that fixes it faster than listening.
