NOW this is where learning Korean gets harder~ ^^ ready? ㅋㅋㅋ
This lesson is on the Pronouncation/Sounds of each final Consonant
When a character/syllable ends in a ㅂ, you will pronouce it as a ㅂ.
But when a character/syllable ends in a ㅍ, you will pronounce it as a ㅂ
Some more examples
Don't get this confused with the special consonants g/k* and r/l*
(In lesson 2)
Recap: Its is WRITTEN as a G if the consonant is first (or on top) and it is WRITTEN as a K is the consonant is last (or on the bottom) etc.
But with the other consonants mentioned in this lesson, it is still WRITTEN the same but pronounced differently.
Now, don't worry if you didn't understand this lesson, it's not something you'll need to memorise just yet (trust me) ^^
As long as you know why sometimes its written one way BUT pronounced another way then that's fine~ ^^
**Have you ever noticed how Koreans freaks out when they need to play a dictation game? It's not because they can't spell haha Its because (as you just learnt) Speaking and Writing Korean is two different things.
Example: I can say to you "Hey buy me a ggot (flower)" but if i was going to write it to you, ill write "Hey buy me a ggoch (flower)"
But i might forget that flower is written as 'ggoch 꽃' and write it as 'ggot 꽅' by mistake, thats when ill have a spelling mistake.
Make sense? LOL, dun worry if it didnt ^^
Thank you Anna!
