    For anybody wondering what the difference is between 바 and 파 when not in between two vowels/following a consonant, the primary signifier Seoul korean speakers use to distinguish them is actually the tone of the vowel. Vowels following word-initial ㅍ are pronounced higher than vowels following word-initial ㅂ. If you aspirate both the same, then they will look to the tone of the vowel to distinguish.

    i'm doing research right now on how native english speakers are typically unaware of the linguistic differences between the three way stop contrast in korean and it's so fantastic that you've chosen to give linguistic information like this while teaching! even when i learned korean in university the teachers left out so much information that led to students having terrible production of the three types of stops, we didn't even know that voicing isn't a distinctive feature in korean. this is seriously fantastic and i wish other teachers did it this way!

      Yeah I was wondering the same thing. When she said paella as an example of ㅃ, then I thought to myself "oh, it's just the Spanish p", but then she compared it to the Chinese 8 (ba) as well which I've learned to pronounced as in between Spanish p and b, and so I'm not completely sure ㅃ is just the Spanish p.

      @@bryannsotomayor2575
      Actually Spanish "P" is almost similar as Korean "ㅃ". But the fact is that Spanish "P" is not tensed, and Korean "ㅃ" is tensed.
      For example "오빠" (Oppa) is a Korean word which means "Big Brother". Do you wanna write "오빠" as "Opa"? No.
      "ㅃ" is tensed, so when it goes to middle, it sounds double. Example is
      "오빠" (oPPa).
      Spanish "P" is not tensed, so when it goes to middle, it never sounds double. For example Spanish Word "España". You will pronounce this word as "esPanya", but you never pronounce this word as "esPPanya".

    It's very counterintuitive to use romanization all the time and then learning it's actually really unusable for learning how to speak korean. But to hear the difference between b / ㅂ and p and learning about voicing and aspiration in this context helps me to understand a great deal more. Shortly I will be visiting an course to learn korean, I think your videos will help me a lot. Will report back how your videos impacted my learning 😉

It's total trash and just made it 10xs more difficult to understand because if you're an English speaker your brain just wants to override the sound you're hearing with what those letters mean to you in ENGLISH. Then the Korean sounded so similar to certain japanese letters I was incredibly confused until I came to your videos. You're a life saver! thank you!!

    3:12 my first language is not English. But what I know is, Dr Geoff Lindsey said that English people aspirate these letters P, K, T; because if they unaspirate P, K, T letters, it sounds as B,G,D.
    Another thing is English T and D are not pronounced by placing the tip of the tongue against the upper front teeth, where Spanish, Japanese, Bengali, Hindi, Korean, Portuguese, Arabic language pronounce T and D as placing the tip of the tongue against the upper front teeth.
    English T and D are formed by placing the tip of the tongue against the alveolar ridge (the bump behind the front teeth).
    Yet IPA doesn't recognize this difference between English T, D and Other language's T, D. Both cases are only used as [t], [d]
    For example:
    English word "Drink" [dɹɪŋk]
    Japanese word "大"(dai) [dai]
    That's because maximum language pronounce T and D by placing the tip of the tongue against the upper front teeth. Only English T, D are different than those languages.

    1. "ㅃ" actually sounds as my Bengali language's "প" [p]. But "ㅃ" is tensed. In my language, sometimes we pronounce unaspirated [p] by tensed or non-tensed plainly.
    2. "ㅍ" sound is equal to India's West Bengali "ফ" [pʰ] sound. But We Bangladeshi don't pronounce "ফ" as [pʰ] sound (korean "ㅍ" sound). We pronounce "ফ" as [ɸ], which is as same as Japanese ふ (f) sound.
    3. "ㅂ" - this consonant is unvoiced minimal aspirated "p" sound. I have never herad this type of sound in any languages. I have no idea 'bout that.
