  • 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.

      ​@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!

      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

  • @yihyosang
    @yihyosang 4 года назад +13

    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.

    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.

  • @Janetseng
    @Janetseng Год назад +3

    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.

  • @slumber8120
    @slumber8120 Год назад +11

    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! 😂

    • @anatarango1736
      @anatarango1736 9 месяцев назад +1

      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.

    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 :)

    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.

    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!

    This was by far the clearest and most practical explanation for the difference between ㅅ and ㅆ! Thank you so much!
    I just have one follow-up question. Would you also say that the ㅅ in, say, 사 is also aspirated, whereas the ㅆ in 싸 is not?

  • @lock1785

    It REALLY helped me to pronounce the ㅅ sound.
    I knew before that ㅅ is pronounced a little bit "weak", I mean without tensing the tongue, and the ㅆ sound is pronounced with a tension. But I didn't see much difference.
    감사합니다 선생님 ❤

    Thank you for these great explanations! Even though I seem to have a partial deafness for the subtle differences within Korean consonant groups, with your help I at least slowly learn now to pronounce them more or less correctly... ^.^
    Also, to my ears, the Korean double consonants are the ones that sound the most like their English counterparts. The simple consonants all seem to add an "h" sound between them and the following vowel, as if the vowel itself wasn't a simple "a" but a "ha". If I try to say s + ha or g + ha, I seem to automatically arrive at the right pronunciation for ㅅ and ㄱ.

    This video is super helpful. I knew there were differences in how ㅅ is pronounced according to the following vowel, but i could never get close to the exact pronunciation. The pronunciation of ㅅ + ㅣ ,etc is brand new knowledge for me. Thank you. A remaining question. I think I often hear ㅅ + ㅏ often pronounced almost like ts + ah. Why am I hearing this?

    I would be most grateful if you could tell me where to place the tip of the tongue when producing the ㅅ and ㅆ consonants and whether or not the placement of tip of the tongue changes when articulating the syllables 시 or 씨 as well as some others.

    These pronunciation videos are amazing! I'm new to Korean and I can now at least hear a difference between siot and sangsiot even if I can't manage to pronounce siot myself quite yet. I don't know how to explain it, it almost sounds like the siot is an s with a lisp or something? I can't do it yet but I'm sure I will with some practice. Thanks for the great explanation!

  • @1smallstep
    @1smallstep 2 года назад

    I just found your channel today and I greatly appreciate the way you present your information. But might I share something that I think I've observed between English and Korean? It seems to me that the ㅅ sound and the S/SH sound are not the same at all; they just happen to sound similar enough so our brains translate them to what we know.
    I mean, to make the basic S sound you relax the entire throat, place the tip of the rigid tongue to the base of your top teeth (not quite touching), and then asperate. So the air flows out freely until it hits the tongue, compresses to get out, making a hiss.
    The SH is very similar except the tip of the tongue is turned up to point at the middle of the palate, so after the air hisses past the tongue it expands again on the other side, rolls around, and comes out as the SH sound.
    But for ㅅ, the tongue is lower, behind the bottom of the top teeth, kind of like the TH position but a bit further back and a bit higher. And then... it isn't the open throat asperation, it is actually the vowel that follows the ㅅ - start the sound which powers the ㅅand then drop the tongue and finish the vowel on its own. Does that make sense? Am I kind of on track? Of course, different vowels will shape the sound differently, leading to what English speakers will translate as our S, SH, or T (T as in pretty, not T as in talk).
    So then the English speaker talks, but in reality they are trying to emulate ㅅ with the various letters S, SH, or T. Again, is what I'm seeing the reality? Of course, it is generally easier to emulate a sound when it is a sound that can be emulated (yeah, 어, 여, and 으, I'm talking about you!) than it is to learn a whole new letter... but I have a dream! A dream to speak Korean with actual Korean sounds! Well, a dream to some - a nightmare to others!
    Sorry, could not resist the Excalibur reference.
