@Meena Hassn Some exceptions: 1. [ㄱ] -> [ㅋ] If ㅎ is in front or after ㄱ, the combination of [ㄱ+ㅎ] or [ㅎ+ㄱ] sounds like [ㅋ]. Examples: 좋고 [조코], 악화 [아콰] 2. [ㄱ] ->[ㄲ] If ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅈ, ㅊ are in front of ㄱ, the ㄱ may sounds like [ㄲ]. Examples: 각고 [각꼬], 딛고 [딛꼬], 밉고 [밉꼬] If ㄴ, ㄹ, ㅁ are in front of ㄱ, the ㄱ sometimes sounds like [ㄲ] like in 눈곱[눈꼽], 심고[심꼬] and 물가 [물까], but sometimes not, like in 안기다[안기다], 감기[감기] and 길길이 [길기리]. 3. [ㄱ] -> [ㅇ] If ㄴ, ㄹ, ㅁ are after ㄱ, the ㄱ sounds like [ㅇ]. Example: 먹는 [멍는], 국물 [궁물] * Too complicated? Then, just remember ㄱ sounds like [g]. If you pronounce all ㄱ as [g], most times it will be understood. * You can check and hear Korean words pronunciations at Google translator by clicking the audio button at below web page. www.google.com/search?q=translate+korean+to+english&rlz=1C1VDKB_enUS955US955&ei=_qsEZKzMM9ui5NoPkoO12Ak&oq=translate+Ko&gs_lcp=Cgxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAQAxgAMgUIABCRAjIFCAAQkQIyCAgAELEDEJECMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDoKCAAQRxDWBBCwAzoICAAQgAQQsQM6BAgAEENKBAhBGABQzgdY6hdgyydoAXABeACAAbcBiAH3A5IBAzAuM5gBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=gws-wiz-serp

ㄱ must be like g but sometimes pronounce it as a light k so how could I know when I should pronounce it g or k as a word고기?
Beginning consonant ㄱ sounds like a [light K].
So, 고기 sounds like [light ko] + [gi].
가구 sounds like [light ka] + [gu].
So when the letter comes at the beginning of the word, it is pronounced like a light k and when it comes in the middle pronounced (g)!
Correct 💯
고 마 워 ♥️♥️
