Is ㅅ Pronounced S? SH? T? | Korean Pronunciation Explained

- The consonant ㅅ can be pronounced in 3 different ways depending on which vowels follow and where it is placed in the word. I tried my best to explain the differences, and how it compares to its tensed counterpart, the double consonant ㅆ.

I absolutely love it when pronunciation teachers mention mouth and tongue movements in detail. Please keep this up with other Korean sounds, you're becoming my pronunciation go-to. Please create the ultimate ㄲ video lol.
Agnieszka Twardosz Thanks! I have a video on ㄱ ㅋ ㄲ, please check that one out! :)
@@YourKoreanSaem I will, thanks :)
I just wanna ask when ㅆ is followed by ㅅ like (있습니다) they say it is pronounce as (읻씁니다) but I keep on hearing it as (이씁니다) same in vice versa can you explain more about this?
Teach me eat your desert full
@YourKoreanSaem
I really liked your approach to explaining the physicalities in this video as well as the differences due to letter postion within the word. So many native speakers will simply answer, "You just know." That tends to be the case for native speakers of any language.😂
One of the reasons I think the ㅅ can be tricky for English speakers is because when pronouncing the English s, there is a dip, groove, or concaving at the center of the tongue while the sides of the tongue tend to touch (even if lightly) the roof of the mouth/upper edges of the gums, as well as more significant tensing of the tongue. With the ㅅ the tongue is more laxed, in a somewhat lower position, and rather than creating that dip, groove, or concaved shape with the center of the tongue, it is more flat, and the sides of the tongue do not stay on the roof of the mouth/upper edges of the gums. I find that thinking of it as almost a soft 'ts' helps the tongue find the position more aptly.
The way you described the lip positioning for the ㅆ was fantastic as well.
Thank you for posting such a good video on this. I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
You are directly responsible for the elimination of a singificant portion of the frustration that comes with learning a new language.
Love how you worded this, so true! I just found her channel and I'm not sure if she's American/grew up or went to school there, but her having a complete grasp over both languages is really helpful bc she's really able to tailor her pronunciation advice to people to whom some of these sounds are entirely foreign and a bit tricky to get right
I'm a native speaker who has taught in Asia 20+ years, ten in Korea. Your presentation and examples are a beautiful combination. By the way, I've always been unsure with the ㅆ. You're "sighing" example has cured me. Thank you Sun-saeng-nim
I just wanna ask when ㅆ is followed by ㅅ like (있습니다) they say it is pronounce as (읻씁니다) but I keep on hearing it as (이씁니다) same in vice versa can you explain more about this?
this helped so much i was so confused 😂

English is my second language
And i realized when i say "she" i'm using the korean one "시" 😭

Both examples you gave are pronounced the same, it’s just a “s” sound.
These videos are some of the most helpful I've found so far in learning Korean. There are so many sounds that aren't like in English. Your explanations are so clear and concise. I much more confidently (and probably still incorrectly) pronounce these uncomfortable sounds. ㄹ still kills me.
Same here! 😅😅
Without a doubt!
omg i’m french and i’m learning korean alone and this was SO helpful thank you SO MUCH
The difference between /ㅅ/ and /ㅆ/ in Korean is not just a tension or pressure on the muscle, but the tongue shape is also different. For /ㅅ/, the tongue is laid flat (and relaxed as the narrator explains) behind the lower teeth, whereas for /ㅆ/ , the tongue is grooved, making the air passage narrower. The more hissing sound you get from /ㅆ/ comes from this grooving of the tongue. The reason why Korean /ㅆ/ is more like English /s/ is because for English /s/ as well, the tongue is grooved and so producing more hissing sound, not because the tongue muscle is tensed. There is a difference, though, between Korean /ㅆ/ and English /s/. For English /s/, the tip of the tongue is raised, moving toward the alveolar ridge, whereas for Korean /ㅆ/ (and /s/ as well), the tongue is put behind the lower teeth.

i've been studying korean for funsies, just trying to learn the alphabet and understand the writing system, and your videos are *so* helpful. as a person who is only fluent in english (and has only studied spanish/french outside of that), the romanization for korean is so reductive and it's very difficult to figure out how to attain the correct oral posture (?) to make the sounds. i really appreciate the time you take to explain how to hold your tongue/lips, the amount of tension, and how the sounds in korean are different from common english sounds; all of it really helps get you to the right place! like, at the very least, even if it takes a while to click, i can understand *where* i'm going wrong. before i found your videos i was convinced my mouth simply could not make these sounds, but i think i can now... with enough practice (see: mumbling them to myself over and over again like a lunatic)
eta: the exception mentioned at the end of the video kind of reminds me of the french _liaison,_ where a typically silent final letter is joined along with the following word and pronounced - with _les,_ the 's' is often silent, but when it's paired up, like with _les amis,_ the 'z' sound at the end of _les_ becomes the initial sound tacked onto _amis._ not sure if that explanation makes sense lmao, but it was the first thing that popped into my head during the explanation! 😂
I like the comparison you used with French. I, too, am a native English speaker who has learned Spanish and French. I tend to equate any sound I find similar to something in any language I speak/have spoken. I find it opens my mind and allows muscle memory to become instinctively helpful. If I think about it too much in terms of hard pronunciation rules that have to fit English, then it is a losing battle.
I have to say this is very well explained. I speak mandarin, English, Thai and French. For me to learn a language I say my ears are very accurate when it comes telling the difference of pronunciation. I find Korean pronunciation is very ambiguous in a lot of ways that's why I'm here. With the details of how to put stress in the tongue or not definitely helps a lot.
Thank you so much! I’m learning Korean from two different teachers. One said 시 was pronounced “she” and the other said it’s “si”. Which really confused me, but now I think I understand.
the best instruction ever on the pronunciation of Korean sounds combining with phonetics and some phonology! Cheers!
I just wanna ask when ㅆ is followed by ㅅ like (있습니다) they say it is pronounce as (읻씁니다) but I keep on hearing it as (이씁니다) same in vice versa can you explain more about this?
Yes, it was very helpfull :) In my native language we distinguish between "sh" and "si" and also "s+i" (like in Spanish 'yes') sound, so the difference in pronunciation is very prominent. And when we write two s's in a word next to each other, we always say two 's' sounds, for example "ssak" =mammal, read exactly as it's written. 😀 I love comparing languages, their grammar and phonetics etc., so I find this kind of videos extremely interesting :)
Ohh that's so interesting! Is your native language Polish? I just googled it!
All Things Korean Yes, it's Polish :)

I am just beginning to learn Hangul. After listening to many lectures, I find your delivery and explanation to be most helpful. Thank you.
When you said think of the ㅅ like sighing s that made PERFECT sense to me. I sigh all the time LOL.
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Thank you, you explained this really well!
Best explanation, thank you !
Thanks! You just helped me clear up an answer for my homework in phonetics. Although, after watching the video, whenever I start learning Korean, I will make sure to come back and watch your videos. :)

I really love how you showed us to the pronunciation and how it shouldn't sound like! Really well explained

Exceptionally well done pronunciation video. Probably the best I've seen for easy to follow, and the contrasting of English with 한국어. 감사합니다!!
best explanation ty!
I just started taking Korean at my university this week. This video helped explain some things I was feeling a bit confused by in our class exercises. :) Thank you so much!

Wow, this helps a lot. I'm a new student and was stunned by the sounds I was hearing associated with this consonant. Your explanations make a lot of sense to me, and help discern what I'm hearing. And maybe my pronunciation is improving too!
Now, Your videos r clearing all my doubts to which I'm dealing since 3 months ,너무너무 가사합니다 선생님 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Your explanation is very good. Thanks for sharing. And your English is really good!!
Thanks. Your channel helps a lot. Whenever I start learning vocabulary I encounter several words that sound really different than what I thought they would. Now, I would have to go through each and every vowel and consonant specifically before starting the vocabulary.
Very helpful!
Yes...this lesson really helps! Thank you!

thank you so much for this!! i never realised the nuance when i was learning on my own, until i was told by a native speaker lots have issues with these two consonants. your explanation regarding the lack of tongue movement forcing out air in the single s sound instantly fixed this for me, just like magic!
thank you you’re the best
Learning so much with those vidoes🥺 keep up with the great work👍

This was so helpful! Even though I'm studying Korean in university, they never really taught us how pronounce every letter correctly. They would just tell us if our pronunciation needed work, but they didn't really explain how to pronounce it better. The difference in ㅅ and ㅆ was very clear in this video. Thank you so much!

Great explanation!! I wasn’t able to find any other videos on pronunciations of ㅅ in different cases so this was very helpful! Other basic examples of the “t” sound is in numbers like 셋, 넷, and 다섯.

This is wonderful! Thank you for these insights. Self-studying using only the romanizations is exceedingly frustrating because many of the romanizations don't make sense to me. This was brilliant. 👍🏼
Oh my god! When you explained the 시 sound, when I kept my mouth still, I said it correctly compared to the English “she”! Best explanation out there and it helped!!
I was so useful, spacially the parts you explained the mouth and tongue's shape

Well this makes this a whole lot easier for me thanks!
Your videos are always so helpful. I know I'll be referring back to this one from time to time as I practice Korean pronunciation. I had noticed that 'ㅅ' sounds different from our 's' but I couldn't seem to figure out how to make the correct sound. Thank you very much!

thank you very much for this, once you mentioned the relaxed tongue so much clicked for me, now i feel like i actually sound like im pronouncing natives.
Thank you so much. This has been a relief 😩. I've been struggling with these sounds for a while .
Please can you do a video on the ㅡ sound? It's killing me🙏
This is awesome, super helpful. I'd love to see more videos like this, particularly if you could include some IPA phonetic transcriptions of Korean words instead of just phonemic transcriptions or English transliterations.

Thank you so much! I've been so confused with this because of "sh" romanisation, but the pronunciation is similar to one of our (norwegian) double consonants "kj" (which is confused with the sound "sj/sh" also for native Norwegian speakers).
Now I see that it's closer to the pronunciation of "kj" than the "sj" I've been using. My korean pronunciation will improve a lot because of this.
