I think you guys are little bit confused. Actually ㄹ might sound more like R to English speakers when it's between vowels. So you might think ㄹ like R in 노래, 파란색, and 사랑해. And also ㄹ might sound more like L when it comes at the beginning of the word or end of the word Ex) 라디오, 러시아, and 하늘.
However Koreans don't distinguish those sounds. We consider those sounds the same thing and write them in ㄹ. So that's why I explained that you should just touch the back of your teeth!
I'm so sorry if I made you confused.
Thank you
確か、外国人にとってその発音のほうが簡単ですね。😏
We consider the ㄹ sound as a "rolled r" when it is not the 밧침. We do not have this sound natively in English but it comes from many of the romance languages that share our alphabet. Also you did a fantastic job with the video, I think I finally found out how to say the ㄹ more naturally when it isn't doubled or 밧침, 감사합니다 민지 씨!

I think the problem is that for fucking English speakers the R sound is not quite right, it doesn't sound like a R, as the romanization suggests, the biggest problem with romanization is that they combine sounds from other languages, not just English, in this case the sound of R and L in Spanish may be perfect to explain the difference, but in English it's just non sense, because the sound of R is completely different, the closest sound is when you combine letters such as TT or DD, like in the word "leTTer" in American accent.
I know i shouldnt do this because I need to stop thinking of the character in "english" terms but i notice that at the start of words it does sound like an L, at the end it actually sounds like an L mixed with a Y (as in, you start saying L, but but before your tongue hits the teeth you widen your jaw like the end of a Y sound) and the middle of a word it does sound like an R (if there is a ㄹ at the end of a syllable, and then a ㄹ at the start of the next, it actually sounds like a rolled R almost). Just my obervations

quick reminder: u pronounce ㄹ as an r if it’s between two vowels. but u pronounce ㄹ as an l if it isn’t :)
Thank you
That's a great help!
THANKS
does the same goes with ㄱ, ㄷ,ㅂ?
•••momcomepickmeup••• no, i cant think of any words that make ㄴ or ㄱ sound any different. But with ㅂ, it may sound like ㅁ in some words. Here’s a video that explains Korean pronunciation very well: ruclips.net/video/TVqJbiSLw-E/видео.html
I thought r is at the beggining and when its at the end its l😂
samee
Kpop Trash sammmmme
At the beginning of a syllable, ㄹ is more like the spanish “r” than the english “r” sound. It’s like a mixture between the spanish “r” and the english “L”.
At the end of a syllable (batchim), it is more like the english L but with your tongue on the roof of your mouth (the part up front that gets burnt by hot pizza!). :)
@@ElliotLeeMusic no, its not a mixture between the spanish r with anything, it's literally the same sound as the spanish/italian/portuguese "r".
@@ElliotLeeMusic i spent half an hour trying to pronounce it correctly, and your last statement immediately gave me results and i was genuinely taken aback. _thank you._
여러분! I was gonna cover phrases with Korean dramas but I coudn't put any video clips because of the copyright. I'm so sorry about that..!! Anyway I hope you enjoy this video❤ 사랑해요~

And please make ths easier to me😊😭🙏
I’ve been teaching myself Korean for three months and this is something I still have trouble with.
This video is the only one that helped really clear things up for me. The repetition is amazing! 대단히 감사합니다, 민지 선생님!! 🙏💗
I also teaching myself but only for 3 day.. how long it take for you to read?
Oooh! I agree... 😭. I'm confused too... 😭. When you say: "오렌지" slowly, I can understand "O-len-ji", but when you say "오렌지" fast, I understand "O-ren-ji"... 😭😭
Its very difficult... 😅😅, but you did a very good explanation... Thank you so much!! 🙏🙏

This explains well. When ㄹ is between two vowels, it is rather pronounced like 'flap t' sound as in "water" and "metal". This is also similar to spanish r sound but not rolling, as in "hora".

2:22 ''ribbon is libon libon li ri li ribon'' im so confused
They don't have a r sound so they pronounce it as l
@@neetusingh09090 Actually there is R sound like 롸 뤼 뤄 뢰 so on. But when romanizing English officially, we just don't use it.
That was all the "easy" stuff. I find the name Ryu (류) to be very difficult. Also, putting 을 /를 on the ends of words seems impossible. Can you make another video with these and other difficult sound combos with ㄹ?
Kent St Oh, I've never thought about '류를'! Thanks for the idea. I think '룰루랄라' is also difficult combo of ㄹ
RIGHT IM TRYING TO LEARN HOW TO SAY RYUJINS NAME AND THIS SHIT IS TOO HARD
I feel that in the case of an isolated 를 it sounds kinda like an alveolar tap that begins trilling but you stop it right before it becomes a recognizable rolled R. If that makes sense.
@@theKyuubiKunaikind of like saying rule?
@@theKyuubiKunainah fam that do not make sense 😭
Thanks a lot! Have you thought about doing a pronounciation guide to ㅈ vs. ㅉ?
Those are my biggest struggle when it comes to pronounciation 😅
Sure sure I'll make that video too! Pls look forward to it
So it seems like the sounds changes a little depending on the word. You always said the syllable as 'la' but sometimes you pronounced the word as 'ra'.
Zamarit21 its cause the mouth placement thing stays the same haha

True! That made it so confusing.. It's not her fault though, it's just confusing for us foreigners because they pronounce ㄹ naturally and we have to learn everything by heart. When she says a word with R, it sounds rrr but when she emphasizes the syllable with ra, it turns la.
@@dhk1126 eres isnt a rolling r, I’m Mexican, eres is just a normal r like in water, an example of a rolled R is any word starting with an R, like Romance Rosa Raqueta Rio Recarga or a word with a double r (rr)
@@Tbh_kid late reply, but he said "spanish r sound but *not* rolling, as in 'eres'"
it sounds L when you pronounce it sometimes. I can't hear R. Im so confused rn.😂
+*안디린 * Oh so sorry if I made you confused. I'll try to cover about the ㄹ in the future :)
So this is just my own understanding😅
ㄹ - R / L
So we do notice that It's sometimes it has 'R' pronounciation and it's sometimes 'L' pronounciation. So if this symbol (ㄹ) can be found in the beginning and in the end, the pronounciation is letter "L" for example:
Ramyeon (라면) - (L)amyeon
Geojismal (거짓말) - Geojisma(L)
Note: "L" pronounciation if this symbol (ㄹ) is in the first and in the last.
And if this symbol (ㄹ) is between the 2 vowels, the pronunciation is 'R' for example:
Korea (코리아)
We can notice that this sign 'ㄹ' is between 2 vowels. Another example:
Saranghae (사랑해)
So it's between the 2 vowels so it's more of an 'R' sound.
Note: pronounciation "R" if between the 2 vowels.

Omg I can finally start to pronounce ㄹ! This was the most helpful video I’ve seen so far
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ끝에 너무 귀여워요!!
Seems like a newbie with experience in other languages like Spanish or Japanese might find it easier to almost treat it like a tapped R sound when they're first starting out. It also reminds me a bit of the Chinese "back of throat" R sound at the ends of words. Interesting! Languages are so fascinating, thank you for posting these videos :)
This is so hard as a Spanish speaker because I really just want to roll my R. lol
Same!!
SAME
FINALLY I FIND A SPANISH SPEAKER, IM LEARNING ANOTHER LANGUAGE IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE
I always confuse when to pronounce the ㄹ more R or more L so this was great! 감사합니다 😊
Sara Wow~ 도움이 되어서 기뻐요! Thank you so much
Throughout my Half year experience studying korean it’s been very difficult for me to pronounce this korean letter, bUT THANK YOU SO MUCH THIS HELPED ME WAAAAAAYY THAN I EXPECTED IT TO...!!!
You really got me with your 1st question 😅 Yes, I am confused and struggling about that 리을
すごく役に立つだった!
さすがミンジ先生だ!
教えてくれてありがといございます。😆😆👍
most people got confused it helped me a lot better lol in fact i have been jotting down notes of this you have been teaching me and run bts episodes make a lot more sense now without subtitles although i still need to work on it :) thanks minji you really help alot!
Thank for making videos with useful and fun. Please make another video of ㄹ pronunciation (when sound LA and when sound Ra). Thank you in advanced my teacher. 감사합니다.
Thank uuu
so basically if its in the middle of the word its more similar to r, if its at the start or end its more similar to l
i enjoyed it while learning at the same time...good 선생
its weird because korean can distinguish in
ㅈ ㅊ ㅉ
ㄷ ㅌ
ㅂ ㅍ
sounds but can't hear the difference between l and r
You hit the nail on the head! And it's soooooooo frustrating!
well I'm Korean too. but I don't speak like that !
I speak ㄹ sound at first word like R(not English R)as 라디오, 레몬, 러시아 to radio, remon, reoshia. but nobody talk to me about my pronunciation.
actually her pronunciation is more weird to me !!
who speak 레몬 as Lemon with strong L sound?! that sound heard like English..
I love it when Koreans disagree about the Korean language.;) Seems to me there are lots of exceptions and Minji was going for the general rules. It is definitely true that it is not always the 'l' sound but for those of us whose pronunciation is way off (I've been battling with the ㄹ for 10 + years now) it's not a bad rule of thumb. But your explanation makes a lot more sense given the fact that I hear a combination of 'l' and 'r' sounds from my Korean students when they speak in English. Thanks for the varying perspective.
맞아요
Dude where are you from? I mean there are many accents in Korea right???
Coming from Japanese learning I was doing great until you said Sky...I can't do the R/L at the end properly. Frustrating.
This actually helped a lot! Although it does seem similar to r(tap) when beginning a syllable in the middle of a word, now I know I have to pay attention not to actually do the tap and just stop at the clear sound.
Always love your videos💜 사랑해요!
Thank you so much for the vide. I'm struggling so much with the r and l sounds but your advice (tong touch the back of the teeth) helped me a lot. It makes much more sense now!
💜👍🏼
As someone who is dutch and speaks english as a second language it is more frustrating... because us dutchies roll the tongue when we pronounce the R.
Thanks for this video your explanation was great!
Thank you so much. You were very clear and helpful.
Thank you sooo much!! This wascso helpful!! I was so confused on how to pronounce it!!! A big help!💗💕
When I was first learning Korean I could pronounce it fine. But after learning words, rules, etc. I had forgotten how to pronounce it properly. So this video helped a lot! 감사합니다!
Korean wouldn't be the first language where a single letter could denote two different sounds. ㄹ is both R and L, at least when I hear all these examples.
You are one of the teacher in learning hangul.. Thanks
It could be the sound of the spanish "r"? for words like "pero, pera, espera..." its a "soft" sound. I'm not talking about the "strong" sound when you said words like "perro, ratón, requesón, cartón..."
Yes that's right but it's only an r sound when the ㄹ comes in the middle of two vowels eg. 거리아 or 그래 however in words where the ㄹ comes in the beginning or end of a word eg. 럼욘 it'll be the l she's explaining....hope this helps!
Thanks. This video assured me about learning Korean. Im starting classes tomorrow. Im Polish and I cannot pronounce our native "r" and the sound I make is actually more like ㄹ 😆 Subsribed 😀👍
This helped so much!!
Thank you Minji, you are amazing. I'm a beginner and you're making things so much easier!
Gamsabnida sansenim!
I'm studying to learn Korean. My goal is to become so proficient that people think I'm native lol thank you for uploading this. This seems to be one of the more challenging sounds to execute properly. I'll stay with it until I've got it.
Good luck on your language journey! Hope you reach your goal!!
it has been 2 years now how is your progress
@@riny9994 I can read, write, and text in Korean pretty well. My pronunciation surprises a lot of Korean speakers when they talk to me, I've heard I sound native, but I haven't spoken enough to be conversational. I've progressed a lot but honestly the past 2 years weren't optimized. I could be further along.
Thank you sm!!! 💕💕💕
Thanks so much for the lesson. And I love that song. I am a big fan of 비. Could you please do a lesson on ㅂand ㅍ ?
Melissa Wall Sure sure 그럴게요:) I'll make that lesson too
THANK YOU FOR THIS
Hahaha korean accent is so cute especially when it come to R I remember someone calling me Lose and so I corrected him he said sorry Lose then I realized they pronounce R like L 💕
am the first viewer ,, yeah hahaha i love your video pls make more videos
Is a bit confusion how you do the sound with your tongue for ㄹ because the L from 라 sound form confortable but 하늘 sounds like you but the tongue is different mode and i don t know how
🥰🥰 appreciate so much.
eonni, this is somehow unrelated to the topic but I hope you can tell me the brief difference among *-gil* , *-dong* , *-gu* , *-si* and *-do* .
This is super helpful!
I feel it sound either totally like L or like a rolled R
Here in 2021 thanks a lotttt
Nice voice at the end lol👏😅
Best way to pronounce ㄹ is as an L at the start of a word, R at the end of a word or syllable, and a D at the start of a middle syllable. The middle sound is just like the T in water or DD in ladder. When two ㄹ are consecutive, then it's hard L sound like yellow.
thanks!
Hey!!! Super good video !
And this mystery still continues 😭😒whether it is l or r
as a Korean, i feel it sounds closer l a liite. r is definitely not
Very helpful video, thanks! Hopefully we'll see the La Song on itunes soon.
In simple word sometimes it's l and sometimes it's r
Thank u so much 고마워요 ^^
Gomawoyo🫰😄...is my Translation text correct ???
Correct me if I'm wrong 😅
Thank you, Minji!
Hi Minji!! I just discovered your channel and noticed that we have the same name, haha!
I also have a question: Can 민지 also called Mingi or does it have to be Minji?
♥️♥️
Oh, boy, am I late... Anyway, I enjoyed this and I wouldn't have commented because I feel pretty good about my pronunciation... Until you said the koreanization of McDonald's. I tried, but that one was so hard for me! 😂
I have difficulties in pronouncing this letter in batchim form
Very helpful, thank you
I always say people are wrong when they say it's an "r" sound. Because it never ever makes an English r sound. I'd say "L" and possibly a soft "d" sound, similar to some who say
네, like 데. It has really everything to do with tongue placement, so some times yes 네, can sound like day
1:30
Shes lying to me.
Someone double-check the way I just thought about this, please:
When it comes to ㄹ, don't think about it as a sound, think about it as a certain position of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth. DH K's comment below helped me as an English speaker who has taken a little Spanish: it is a "front of the mouth R" like "eres" not a "further back R" like Tony the Tiger "grrrrrreat"
I found it so clear I don't know why people says it's confusing
안영 언니..can i ask something ? Is ㄱ might sound like k even if its not a final consonant ?
thanks for this video it really helped!
Actually watching at night
잘자요
It seems like it sounds like an english R when it appears in the end of a word. Pronnounced like a spanish R when in the middle and like an L when its in the begginning.
you are amazing
I think half the battle is mental for someone like me (Canadian speaker). So I keep imagining I was born in Korea and my mouth is shaped for Korean language as I am learning. Maybe it will make my brain shift in that direction and then my face muscles and tongue will catch up. 🤣
The l is very easy for me, sice I am well aquainted with Hebrew.
This is what i am waiting for always confuse with "ㄹ"
대단하세용 ! ♡
When u r having a hard time pronouncing other words with R & L, I noticed u change the intonation, the rise & fall seems your mistakes.
Thanks teacher
0:12 that's how i'd describe the japanese "r" sound too for ambitious people like me who are learning japanese and korean
when i was first learning japanese i had to train myself to speak a combination of L, R, and D xD
This “L” word is also in Chinese alphabet 😂😂 After watching so many videos, finally I find the answer to pronounce “l”.
사랑해요
Very helpful.
FYI - "pronUnciation" (short u) not pronOUnciation (like "cow"). The verb is to pronOUnce (like "cow")
Excelente explicacion !!!!!
i think it’s pronounced the same way every time, but since our american ears aren’t trained it sounds different sometimes. it’s definitely more like of “l” than “r”
It’s funny because I have more trouble pronouncing it on I TDA own than I do in words.
So, it does not give L sound for everyone conso with vowel like 라 랴 러 려 로 료 루 류 and so on..?? But just the few which you mentioned???
Orange Len Len Orange IT LITERALLY SOUNDS LIKE A R
Ikrr she kept saying len len but went on to say ren and I'm just here like wtfock?!? And don't get me started about the other letters like ㄱ/ㅋ || ㄴ/ㄷ/ㅌ || ㅁ/ㅂ/ㅍ || ㅅ/ㅈ/ㅊ.....
I cant roll my "R" now i know why most koreans cant understand me when i speak their language.. just like in Italy and Spain
*jennie she can pronounce ``R´´ look the mv of blackpink kill this love.*
Thank you.
Thanks for d video maam
