    Thank you for this! There aren't many channels that focus on mouth shape/tongue position etc. when teaching pronunciation, and I noticed quite quickly that it's super important, you can't just modify the sounds you use in your own language! Suuuper useful. I also noticed that when you say the consonant your top and bottom teeth are quite close together, which is something I'll remember when pronouncing it as it almost forces the tongue into the correct position! Learning a new language is hard lmao

    • @YourKoreanSaem
      @YourKoreanSaem  5 лет назад +3

      Yes! I think we exaggerate the changes in lip shape when teaching the different Korean vowels and such but in actual speech our lips don’t move as much. Hadn’t really thought of that. Thanks! :D

    I am an Indian and it’s so similar to the sounds we have in Hindi. Korean is a price of cake for me. lol I can read, write, and pronounce it with ease also, it’s a SOV ( Sub-Object-Verb) just like Hindi is. English on the other hand is SVO. ( Sub-Verb-Object) So that helps too! 😅💕

    @Annaramadamdam Год назад +3

    This was an extremely helpful explanation. I came here after a few other videos that didn't explain fully why it sometimes sounds like and /r/ and sometimes like a /l/ to learners. Now I finally get it. Especially the reference to other languages helped me grasp it fully.
