This week I started to learn basic pronunciation in Korean. Korean pronunciation is entirely different in structure compared to English pronunciation. In English, whenever a word ends in a consonant, we always make a little sound after saying that last letter. But in Korean, there is no final ‘breath’ sound. For example,
In English: ship
In Korean: 십 (meaning ‘ten’)
In English = dock
In Korean: 독 (meaning ‘poison’)
It was quite hard for me to remember the sound of each word. Even though I can rephrase the word after listening to the pronunciation, the next day I would forgot how to say it. Therefore I still need to spend more time on practicing the pronunciation.
I have looked up many website and this is the best one: http://www.howtostudykorean.com/unit0/197-2/
