I'm glad you did...it got me to listen to it again.

Love this part of the series because it takes, at least for me, so much practice and determination to get comfortable with the pronunciation in 한글

Your pronunciation is really clear and wonderful!!!! 감사합니다. ㅋㅋㅋ You say each consonant the same when you repeat. So, it is easier to distinct the change from ㄱ ㄲ ㅋ. Sometimes teachers do not understand that a changing the pronunciation even the slightest change can be heard and confuse a learner.

Even though I'm at intermediate level I always have to brush up on double consonants and strong consonants bc I pretty much just ignore them 😅

I watched this yesterday and got so frustrated. It just didn't seem to make any sense to me. I came back and watched it again today, and the tissue thing finally clicked for me. It makes so much more sense now. For anyone else getting frustrated, just keep coming back and don't give up. We got this 💪 Thanks Billy for the free courses. Hope to see you in Seoul some time 😄

I don't have a tissue handy so I used my hand to feel my breath against it and I noticed the difference between regular, double and strong. Thank you so much Billy!!! This has been my favorite lesson so far. ^_^ very much enjoying each video.

Thank you so much for this free class, I'm Portuguese and I've been wanting to learn korean for a while now, I started learning the alphabet by myself since i was in school but I got nowhere, so here I am and im glad I gave your videos a chance, It may be hard but I will try to not give up and make it till the last class of this Playlist! Again thank you.

I NEED THIS PLAYLIST! THANK YOU, BILLY!

this probably the easiest lesson of basic principles for me.. i get tangled on single consonant pronunciations. im learning a lot in Billly's playlist

You said at the beginning of this that we shouldn't skip things we already know, and I'm so glad I didn't skip your 한글 lessons. These tips are BRILLIANT. The tissue thing is absolutely inspired! It made me run off and buy your ebook haha.

For normal k/g sound it has some well k and g sound for double consonant the g is stronger for strong consonant the k is stronger

The most helpful lesson on consonant pronunciation I have come across! Thank you!

i started learning hangul literally only 5 days ago and now because of you i can almost very clearly pronounce and understand the letters!! your videos are way more helpful than pretty much any other channel in youtube lol :-) you're the best!!

Thank you so much for these lessons Billy, I started a few hours ago and I'm already starting to read words on my own, truly amazing, I never thought I would be able to✨❤️

You were right when you said to never skip. I actually had a 3 mos. Korean Language class back in 2012/2013 and I'm very sure this was never explained well. I always thought 까 and 카 were just the same but spelled differently 😅 same with all the double and strong consonants.

Thank you so much for your clear explanation! I can finally understand the difference!

I was having trouble pronouncing the double consonants but this video helped me a lot. Thanks a lot!

I struggle the most with this!! You made it easy to understand the difference in pronunciation!

Purchased your book a few days ago on kindle and this playlist is a great complement to it! Thanks to you learning korean is so easy! Thank you so much!!! ♥️

Best explanation of sound differences!

I found a great teacher! You deserve million subscribers ! Thank you for making korean easy to learn

This helps a lot! I understand how to pronounce double consonants and strong consonants without any confusion! Thanks!!

Some "learn" the alphabets in 3 hours (which personnaly I doubt that they know and can even read honestly and understand all what's behind the sounds and writing) and personnaly it took me more than 8 hours already => because I'm taking time to learn properly the sounds and exceptions for writings. Just stay consistant that's what will help you to grow. It's better that you go slower than going too fast and forget everything in a few days. Korean isn't easy you know ? Just remember how much time it took you to be intermediate in english (if you are) with school or any other language 👀 don't compare yourself to others or it will just bring you down. For being in intermediate level, you can take exams that exists (i think you have to pay) to mesure your level actually. And then with that you can know what to improve for vocabulary, gramar and so on. Being intermediate is actually level B1-B2 😅 where you can read pretty much anything, write sentences with gramar and speak quite normally ~ that's intermediate. I hope this can help you

I found that pronouncing double consonants is comparative to the little tsu in japanese that prolongs the next kana's sound. e.g. 아가 --> 아까 (a-ga) (a-gga) ちょっと (chyotto) the little っ prolongs the next kana's sound (と) from 'to' to 'tto' so you have that slight stop, tensing speech pattern when saying it. it's really hard to put it into words but i found it easier to understand when put it in this perspective.

I tried so many videos, I enrolled some courses and read about regular, strong and double consonants and I just couldn't get the hang of it. All it took was a 16 minute video of yours for me to understand it all.. thank you so much

I can't believe I did not find you sooner like omgggg! I am on lesson 7 and I understand Hangul more than other channels I have tired. Like I am so shocked when I pause your videos to do the practice words and I get it right!!!! Thank you thank you for your amazing lessons!!!

This thing with the tissue paper was very helpfull and funny ... 감사합니다, 선생님!

At the start when you said that we were going to learn more consonants I started to think it would be tough but tbh its more easy than I expected, the pronunciacion of this new consonants is the same that portuguese (from portugal) . Well tbh, all the korean alphabet is very similar to portuguese, I thought it would be harder to me to learn it, thank you for put so much effort at it because that allows me to learn korean.

I just now recognized the consonant and vowels that make up Hangul when you showed it at the start of this video. I think I'm learning after 6 videos in. 🤔

One tip for learners like me: Write those words on the paper then try to spell it in Google Translate voice (Korean to English) and check if your spelling is correct. 4 out of 15 I spelled them correct, for others I strugled a little bit - but helped me to correct myself and understand the different sounds. ie: Fried potato/House/French Fries

Billy, for my ears, Regular consonants are usually soft and aspirated, double consonants are strong and not aspirated, at least less aspirated, and strong consonants are strong and aspirated. Does it make some sense? At least that's what I listen to And thank you so much for everything! That tissue tip, I was a little shy to try it out, but it really works! I'm happy to see that most times when I pronounce double consonants it does not move whatsoever :) (And for those who feel like "Oh man, that's getting a little hard" Don't worry, just relax and practice, language learning is supposed to be fun :)

It's never either sound. None of these sounds can match perfectly with English, so if you're thinking of them like English letters they will never match up. It's better to get used to hearing the sounds from real sources (TV, podcasts, etc.) and learn how they're used, and to avoid romanization completely.

Dear Billy , I am sort of confused with the pronunciations of the vowels like for eg ㅏ can be pronounced as short aa or long aa same is the case with ㅣ vowel as well (short e or long e).

It's best to not learn it that way, as it's never going to match that sort of system. Also it would be too difficult to memorize how the sound can slightly change based on where it appears in a word. The important thing is making the sound correctly, and finding where your tongue is in your mouth when you say it - if you can do this, the sound will turn out close enough without having to consider any more rules. There are already plenty of other rules to memorize when learning Korean, but this is fortunately not one of them.
