Today, i'll teach you how do you pronounce when you have two consonants at the end of a syllable. It's more easy than you can think, and you will get used to it very soon.

I'll give you the examples first, and then, how do you have to pronounce it.

넋, 앉, 값, 많, 싫, 여덟, 곬, 핥, 닭, 삶, 읊.

As you can see, all of them have two consonants at the bottom of the syllable, and only one of them sounds when you speak.

Then, how you pronounce all of it?

Following the same order, we have all of this. You just have to learn these. The red ones are what you pronounce when you speak.

ㄱㅅ - ㄴㅈ - ㅂㅅ - ㄴㅎ

ㄹㅎ - ㄹㅂ - ㄹㅅ - ㄹㅌ

ㄹㄱ - ㄹㅁ - ㄹㅍ

So, when you say 넋 you are saying "넉" (it's not the same word, it's just how it sounds; keep this in mind, please!!!!)

There are some exceptions for this rule:

If a word comes with ㄺ followed by ㄱ.

If the next syllable beggins with a vowel.

Diphthongs are very easy once you learn the vowels, so let's get into it. You only have to "match" 오 and 우 with other vowels.

오 + 아 = 와, sounds like -wa.

오 + 애 = 왜, sounds like -we. ¹

오 + 이 = 외, sounds like -we. ¹

우 + 어 = 워, sounds like -wo.

우 + 에 = 웨, sounds like -we. ¹

우 + 이 = 위, sounds like -wi.

¹ They all sound the same, -we.

For example, with ㅅ.

솨 (sua) · 쇄 (sue) · 쇠 (sue)
