  • Aspirated and Tense Consonants Perfect Guide12:25

    Today, we will learn about the aspirated sound and tense sound in Korean.

    You probably might be thinking “What are the aspirated and tense sounds?”

    First of all, Korean pronunciation is largely divided into basic sound, aspirated sound, tense sound, combined vowels, and final consonant.

    You can pronounce the basic sound without putting any stress like 가, 나, 다, 라.

    On the other hand, when you pronounce the aspirated sound, you push air from your mouth, like 카,타,차,파.

    For the tense sound like 까,따,빠,싸,짜, you pull in the air to pronounce like the chirping of a bird.

    In the previous video, we learned how to say the basic sound.

    Today, let’s learn the aspirated sounds like 차,카,타,파 and the tense sounds like 까,따,빠,싸,짜.

    And also, please prepare a piece of tissue for today’s lesson.

    It will be used when practicing the aspirated sounds to compare with the other sounds.

Requirements

Description

Even if you don’t know anything about Korean, you will be able to speak Korean with confidence after completing this entire course.

In this course, you will systematically learn everything from basic letter reading and pronunciation to beginner-level vocabulary and grammar.

Even if you are learning Korean for the first time, you can steadily improve your ability while acquiring systematic knowledge as you progress through the courses one by one.

I explained colloquial expressions (요 form) and their pronunciation changes thoroughly, which are the biggest obstacles for beginners.

In addition, I explain grammar using actual conversational sentences. This means that you can use the grammar immediately in real conversations with Koreans, and it is also useful for understanding Korean news and social networking sites.

Using actual conversational sentences will also help you to understand the vocabulary and grammar imaginatively. It can also be used for pronunciation practice.

I covered all grammatical expressions that can be found in textbooks, so you can learn complete beginner-level Korean in this course alone.

After completing this entire course, you will be at a level to pass the TOPIK Level 2.

In a short time, you will be able to completely master the beginner level of the Korean language.

Who this course is for:

  • People who have never studied Korean.
  • People who want to pass TOPIK level 2.
  • People who want to be able to listen to and understand K-POP lyrics and Korean dramas.
  • People who would like to travel and speak with locals in Korea.
  • People who have tried to learn Korean by themselves but have failed.
