The fact that this girl is teaching me a whole new language better than any app or website I’ve been to is amazing. I’m learning so fast and it’s so fun. Thank you!
thats why i prefer to learn korean through youtube than apps.. cause not all the pronunciation created inside the app are by native koreans.. most of them sound so robotic..so youtube is the way to go for learning pronunciation and developing listening skills.
@@junhaoong941 my tip is learn the basics like present/future/past and you'll get a hang out and learn the formal first not the infromal nor honorific it might really seems daunting since present tense is the hardest it has 7 rules that you should know but it's very easy since it's very logical hope I can help you just ask whenever you want
Honestly, watching your videos for 2 hours has helped me more than using an app for a month😂 ty so much for putting videos out like this too help other people
I'm an Asian..so I think as an Asian Korean alphabet is the easiest alphabet to learn.. Korean grammar is also pretty similar to my language..but spoken Korean is quite difficult..
Honestly I’m a Spanish speaker and honestly I wanted to learn Japanese, but the pain hit when I had to learn the hiragana, katakana and kanji, and Korean strolled its way in and it’s fewer characters 😭🥺😂
The alphabet isn't that hard. You can easily learn it within (or even lessons than) a week. It's what comes after; the adverb, adjective and verb conjugation, sentence structure, informal, formal and polite are more complicated
The technical term for that "flexible" vowel sound is "dipthong." Americans tend to flex their vowels more than, for example, native England English speakers, especially those who have a higher social class and education level. For an American who studied French (many years ago now!) I had to learn about phonetics and how one can accurately represent the way language is actually spoken, versus how things are spelled. A great example for those who might be new to this concept would be the word "try." The "y" at the end of the word is technically a long "i" sound, but if you listen to yourself say it, the shape of your mouth actually CHANGES while you are pronouncing it. The jaw and tongue move as you voice the vowel! Your mouth actually starts with an "ah" sound and moves to an "ee" sound at the end. If you say it super slowly, you might hear the change! It's kind of fun to learn these things about language. Like French, Korean uses monophthong vowels, meaning that there is no change within each vowel sound made, and the mouth doesn't actually move (especially the tongue and jaw) while the vowel is voiced, so the sound is pure and unadulterated. I know I just geeked out a bit, but I find languages fascinating, and I felt it might help someone even a little bit. I really enjoy your lessons, Miss Vicky! Thank you for your diligent work!
Yes, this helped. This helped so much! I first started watching K dramas in 2010 and within a few episodes I started "accidentally" learning Korean. It wasn't long before I started actively trying to learn it, in my not-so-spare time. Seriously, if I had just kept watching Korean media I would probably be at least semi-fluent by now, but life just kept getting in the way. Lately I've been trying to get back into studying it more seriously and your comment really helped trigger some of my old memories of things I learned years ago (which I'm pleased to find are still rattling around in there somewhere). THANKS!
It's funny because I thought that "yes" in Korean sounded like "dae" and actually I discovered through your classes that it is actually "nae" haha the similarities are so tricky ...
@@ginofresito5058 well actually you can use either sound, it's more like a sound between n and d toh once you start speaking korean with romanisation then you will gradually start speaking the sound between n and d.. and it's actually not a problem if you use either of these sounds but it should probably contain the other word too.. (a little bit of it) i think once you start practicing speaking words and reading and listening you will come to know that it's neither n nor d it's somewhere between..❤️ i hope this helps

For native English speakers the difference between consonants c & g, p & b, t & d etc is not aspiration but voice. They form voiceless and voiced pairs, as in pear and bear etc. The difference in aspiration isn't meaningful, that's why we find it difficult to get the difference between the Korean consonants where aspiration is meaningful.
"â (â) , î (î) no English equivalent - it's best to hear it being spoken. â and î are the same sound in Romanian. î is used at the beginning and end of words, and in compound words where one of the words begins with the î sound (i.e. neîndemânatic), and â in all other cases. The best way to approximate this sound is to attempt to make the vowel in "ski," then retract your tongue toward the center of your mouth. " i bet it sounds exactly the same as in korean :D
yes!! being a romanian does help in learning korean, i wouldn’t have guessed, i’m surprised! :)) și bunăă răspund după doi ani lool cum te descurci cu coreeana?
LOL... But you probably haven't seen the Arabic letters... their fonts all seem so small and there are 1, 2 or 3 dots for different letters and sometimes the dots are not easily noticeable! I love the Arabic language, but reading it is a real challenging, especially because there are other facts that make it even harder. Because of that, I find the Korean writing much easier!

I always get scared of pronouncing things wrong when I read Korean or try writing it out and saying it, but this helps me be more confident in how I say things ^^ thank you
I really like how detailed this is! I've been struggling with these and it's so nice of you to actually explain it in-depth and put emphasis on the position of the tongue and whatnot! Thank you!
I recently found your channel and let me tell you I went to buy a notebook and started this playlist of all of your lessons, other teachers teach lots of the rules of pronunciation but never like you, you taugh EVERYTHING in your other videos too and I'm deeply thankful with you, I'm just in the beginning of my korean learning life but I know you will help me to understand it better, you're indeed a great teacher, thank you.
One of the reasons that i did no struggle at first with korean is because am a native spanish speaker, and vowels are clear and consistent like in spanish, as opposed to english. Thanks for your great explanation Vicky.
Thank you for the clear details on Korean pronunciation. I've subbed. I have been learning from paid programs and free programs, but your teaching is superior. Thank you.
Extremely helpful! I've been struggling with wrapping my head around this even while watching some other videos but this explained everything really clearly. Thank you!
Omg she really explains everything so detailed and clearly, thank you so much. I feel my brain hurt but that's probably because I tried to learn everything in one day.😂😂 I got most of it tho...
Noo our way to form sentences isn't similar, ours is like: Yo como vegetales-Yo(Subject)+como(verb)+vegetables(object).So I think it isn’t easier for us(i am a native Spanish Speaker) to learn korean, this is my point of view :D
sort of,however some sounds are quite difficult to assimilate to me, but. I think that if i practice more everything will go smooth... btw, good luck learning korean :)
It is easier in the fact that you don’t have to learn a new alphabet, just learn how they are pronounced. But for Americans or ppl who originally speak English, it gets rlly confusing in the pronunciation. Plus the verbs have more conjugations than in English so even tho the grammar is similar, it’s more complex (depending on the sentences) I believe Korean is easier than Spanish.
you're really the best teacher our there. ive been learning korean for a few weeks now and i recently found out about your youtube videos, it really makes me motivated and understand the language so much, you're a great teacher thanks again
thanks so much. i had been struggling for the past 2 weeks with the correct pronunciation to the point that I thought koreans must be crazy remembering so many exceptions. But this video cleared up so much and made everything understadable.
i’m actually really proud of myself for figuring out the tongue behind your front teeth thing for ㄴ! i just thought that i made up some weird not really correct way to make it sound correct after listening to people and myself saying it over and over
Fantastic. So helpful. I have been working with apps and books and whatnot, and honestly your explanations really clarify so much confusion. Thank you for the underlying information about aspiration, tongue position, and the subtle differences between the various forms of each consonant. This detailed info makes everything much easier to understand and practice.
I just wish native Korean speakers admitted (YES, I think the right word is ADMIT) that syllables like 고 and 코 when pronounced in isolation and without ANY context or extra emphasis, are EXTREMELY hard to tell apart, as they are both realized as voiceless and aspirated. Do you agree? It would come as consolation to a foreign learner (me!). Awesome video, as usual! Keep up the great work! :D
Phonem G, B, J, D if they are located at the 1st syllable, the phonem will be pronouned as K, P, C, T (Aspirated sounds). However if they are located at the 2nd or 3rd syllable, they will become unaspirated sounds (G, B, J, D). For example : Jeju is pronouned Cheju... the 1st J become aspirated Ch. Bibimbab will pronouned as Pibimbab.. B changes to P (aspirated)... I am correct Double consonant such Bb, Jj, Dd, are unavailabe in English. They are equivalent with chinese pinyin B, Z, D.
The way miss Vicky helped me distinguish the sounds of each vowels and consonants better than the apps I'm using combined (not an exaggeration) FOR FREE. You explained all of it really well. Thank you so much!
Thank you Miss Vicky. I'm a Filipina and because of the Enhance Community Quarantine I decided to learn a korean language and i already watch 2 videos of yours and I'm am proud to share that I learned a lot. Even though I'm a beginner I already learned some of the basic lessons of korean language "HANGUL" just like what others are doing.
I am new to learning Hangul, and this video covers some of my struggles pronouncing consonants. 감사합니다 Vicky. This lesson is excellent for improving my pronunciation. 👍
For me the vowels are easy to pronounce,'ㅡ' too,we have an equivalent but I struggle a lot with distinguishing the consonants. Thank you so much for your help unnie!
For some reason, It’s easier for me since I have a Australian accent. It’s more relaxed and soft than a American accent. Anyway, thanks for the great video Miss Vicky!
This is extremely helpful!! I'm a Spanish native speaker who's learning Korean in English haha so your videos also help me to understand English pronunciation better 💜
The best teacher ! The best Korean teachr award goes to miss Vickey ! I still don't get why is she so underrated! That hardwork of yours will pay off ! Fighting! Haha
Omfg this video was so helpful. My only major problem was just my american way of pronouncing words, so vowels and consonants sounded harder than what they need to. This is great 😭
First practice sentence: I want to learn Korean fast Me: yeah that seems helpful,pretty basic Second sentence: It's annoying to see a magpie imitate me Me: wHa.....
The difference between english "n" and korean "n" is not mainly about position but nasalization, Korean nasal consonants becomes denasalized at the start of a word and thats why its sounds similar to english "d" for n and "b" for m
I needed this so much. Spelling has been my biggest enemy so far in learning the language. I keep on getting it wrong whenever I write hangeul cause my pronunciation has been interchangeably wrong between eo and o so I get confused when I try to write it. Also with all those confusing double batchim and irregular consonants. Thank you!
The most useful resouce I've found so far! Clearly explaining and distinguishing the main starting points in pronunciation that confuse most non-Asian learners! Thank you very very much! Actually learning more details about the phonology and tongue placement was very enlightening!
It confuses various asians too. Jackson still wasn't fluent after his debut with got7 when he was on a variety show, and couldn't spell his lyrics correctly. Actually watching a Monsta x game on youtube they couldn't understand why Shownu was pronouncing things weirdly....and he was born there. FRom Bam, Jay park, all the Cantonese members of Wavy, Jessie. THese are Asians that were tripped up by Korean because it is confusing.
14:40 I know quite a bit of Spanish and i’ve only just started learning Korean a week ago- its fun to see a language i’ve been learning for 5 years and a language i started learning only a week ago at the same time-
Thank you so much for making these videos!!! I’ve been watching a bunch during this quarantine. I’ve been meaning to learn Korean for years but have never followed through until now. Thanks again for taking the time to make these!!
Wow! You're absolutely brilliant! I'm Bi-lingual (English/Polish) and have to say that the latter is incredibly helpful when learning Korean due to a greater similarity of sounds I.e. ㅈ to polish dz or ㅡ which in Polish you'd pronounce as y and so on. If you only could see my notes in two languages now 😂 It's actually your videos and explanations that made me realise that and subsequently made my learning journey way easier. Thank you!!! ❤
That's awesome! My first language is Spanish and it also has many similarities with the Korean sounds, probably only English is the worst point to start. I want to learn Polish so bad but I've noticed there are no many materials online compared to other languages, even Korean has more activity.
Tbh its more easy learning now but I'm so lazy but since this is important to me imma learn it every Friday through Sunday since I have school on Monday through Friday ugh online school but I really appreciate u helping us outsiders with this
this seems like it’s pre-loaded in my mind although i’ve never really studied any language than english (and korean). i guess hearing korean at school everyday does help.
8:19 i think the correct distinction is voiceless vs voiced. voiceless consonants: Ch, K, P, S, Sh, T, voiced consonants: B, D, G, J, L, M, N, Ng, R, W, Y voiceless doesnt use vocal cords and is usually more aspirated (like you said) this is the difference between ㅂ and ㅍ (ㅍ more aspirated) 비 ㅂ is voiceless (closer to p) 나비 butterfly ㅂ is voiced (close to b) ㅍ is aspirated but its also a "plosive" like an extra explosion of air when its pronounced, more so than ㅂ. Korean pronunciation isnt hard as long as you understand the basics of linguistics and the fact that its more phonetic than english helps a lot too.
Thank you for doing videos like this😊 I got to learn korean, I started watching about learning the alphabet and then so on...and now I know how to read hangeul, thanks to you miss vicky😊😊💜
@@KoreanwithMissVicky really grateful for your videos😘❣️ I'm from the Philippines and really it's a struggle learning korean but because of your videos it has been a big help to me😊😍❣️
Thank you do much for the Spanish examples! I speak Spanish and English, and the Spanish examples really helped me differentiate the difference between digeut and san digeut(sorry for the poor romanization... lmao) but that actually helped me! Tysm.
Thank You very Much Miss Vicky, Your Korean teaching videos are the best ! I really wish that You give Us private lessons or courses for the People who want to practice more natural Korean conversations like Italki App
A very interesting and informative video; I'll definitely check out more of your videos :) It's interesting to see that I have a bit less of a problem distinguishing between the sounds and making them based on my mother tongue. Also, learning another foreign language (Korean) with explanations in a foreign language (English) is basically having double the benefits- learning a second language and getting better at English at the same time, gotta love multitasking ^^
A quick note I think I picked up on. 를 sounds like "rul" in english, as in ruler but as if you almost cut out the "u" so you say it quicker? Of course the "r" is a little less pronounced too. Correct me if I'm wrong. 😄Also hello from Wales and thanks a lot (or as we say, Diolch yn fawr) for your videos, I've learned a lot so far!!

I really like how detailed this is! I've been struggling with these and it's so nice of you to actually explain it in-depth and put emphasis on the position of the tongue and whatnot! Thank you!
I recently found your channel and let me tell you I went to buy a notebook and started this playlist of all of your lessons, other teachers teach lots of the rules of pronunciation but never like you, you taugh EVERYTHING in your other videos too and I'm deeply thankful with you, I'm just in the beginning of my korean learning life but I know you will help me to understand it better, you're indeed a great teacher, thank you.
One of the reasons that i did no struggle at first with korean is because am a native spanish speaker, and vowels are clear and consistent like in spanish, as opposed to english. Thanks for your great explanation Vicky.
I'm a native Spanish speaker too, but for me is a little bit difficult aaaah :c
Thank you for the clear details on Korean pronunciation. I've subbed. I have been learning from paid programs and free programs, but your teaching is superior. Thank you.
I'm having some troubles with distinguishing the sounds tsktsktsk gonna cry at the edge of my bed and then come again to continue learning 😔
ify
How’s it going?
Extremely helpful! I've been struggling with wrapping my head around this even while watching some other videos but this explained everything really clearly. Thank you!
Omg she really explains everything so detailed and clearly, thank you so much. I feel my brain hurt but that's probably because I tried to learn everything in one day.😂😂 I got most of it tho...
I thought speaking Spanish is gonna make this WAY more easy,and I’ve got the feeling I’m right 😅
Its much more easier bc we have similar sounds and the way to form the sentences is the same
Subject + object + verb
Noo our way to form sentences isn't similar, ours is like: Yo como vegetales-Yo(Subject)+como(verb)+vegetables(object).So I think it isn’t easier for us(i am a native Spanish Speaker) to learn korean, this is my point of view :D
sort of,however some sounds are quite difficult to assimilate to me, but. I think that if i practice more everything will go smooth...
btw, good luck learning korean :)
It is easier in the fact that you don’t have to learn a new alphabet, just learn how they are pronounced. But for Americans or ppl who originally speak English, it gets rlly confusing in the pronunciation. Plus the verbs have more conjugations than in English so even tho the grammar is similar, it’s more complex (depending on the sentences) I believe Korean is easier than Spanish.
@@anapaulamakarenacabanillas9124 oh, you re right! I only thought of things like 'Yo te amo'
The hardest part for me was definitely the sentence practice. I'll keep rewinding.
you're really the best teacher our there. ive been learning korean for a few weeks now and i recently found out about your youtube videos, it really makes me motivated and understand the language so much, you're a great teacher thanks again
thanks so much. i had been struggling for the past 2 weeks with the correct pronunciation to the point that I thought koreans must be crazy remembering so many exceptions. But this video cleared up so much and made everything understadable.
i’m actually really proud of myself for figuring out the tongue behind your front teeth thing for ㄴ! i just thought that i made up some weird not really correct way to make it sound correct after listening to people and myself saying it over and over
I’m thinking how many notebooks you’ve spent for these videos. 감사합니다👍🏼 I’m learning slowly w your videos. Keep up the good work.
Fantastic. So helpful. I have been working with apps and books and whatnot, and honestly your explanations really clarify so much confusion. Thank you for the underlying information about aspiration, tongue position, and the subtle differences between the various forms of each consonant. This detailed info makes everything much easier to understand and practice.
These videos are pretty old but you have no idea how much you’re helping me😭 thank u so much❤
Korean pronunciation is so fun and unique
I just wish native Korean speakers admitted (YES, I think the right word is ADMIT) that syllables like 고 and 코 when pronounced in isolation and without ANY context or extra emphasis, are EXTREMELY hard to tell apart, as they are both realized as voiceless and aspirated.
Do you agree? It would come as consolation to a foreign learner (me!).
Awesome video, as usual! Keep up the great work! :D
Your Korean classes are the best ever!! It's the methodology, details and clarity that sticks out;감사합니다😊👍
Phonem G, B, J, D if they are located at the 1st syllable, the phonem will be pronouned as K, P, C, T (Aspirated sounds). However if they are located at the 2nd or 3rd syllable, they will become unaspirated sounds (G, B, J, D).
For example : Jeju is pronouned Cheju... the 1st J become aspirated Ch.
Bibimbab will pronouned as Pibimbab.. B changes to P (aspirated)...
I am correct
Double consonant such Bb, Jj, Dd, are unavailabe in English. They are equivalent with chinese pinyin B, Z, D.
The way miss Vicky helped me distinguish the sounds of each vowels and consonants better than the apps I'm using combined (not an exaggeration) FOR FREE. You explained all of it really well. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much Miss Vicky! You’re an amazing teacher. I’m learning little by little. ❤
You teach me more about English that i never knew and that's my language
You're amazing, you're really a great teacher! Thank you so so so much for all this free knowledge. I am learning a lot :)
Thank you Miss Vicky. I'm a Filipina and because of the Enhance Community Quarantine I decided to learn a korean language and i already watch 2 videos of yours and I'm am proud to share that I learned a lot. Even though I'm a beginner I already learned some of the basic lessons of korean language "HANGUL" just like what others are doing.
I am new to learning Hangul, and this video covers some of my struggles pronouncing consonants. 감사합니다 Vicky. This lesson is excellent for improving my pronunciation. 👍
Hey Miss Vicky I just discovered your channel and I'm amazed how amazing your explanation is and it's all for free thank you so much 🙏
Writing Korean is totally fine. Easy. Pronouncing it is a nightmare for me. But this video is super helpful!
I've learned a lot in just watching 2 videos. This is more helpful than almost 7 apps I downloaded. Please continue uploading tutorials 🙂
This is the best explanation I've heard for these sounds. Thank you!
For me the vowels are easy to pronounce,'ㅡ' too,we have an equivalent but I struggle a lot with distinguishing the consonants. Thank you so much for your help unnie!
This is seriously the most helpful pronunciation video I've seen! Thank you so much!
For some reason, It’s easier for me since I have a Australian accent. It’s more relaxed and soft than a American accent. Anyway, thanks for the great video Miss Vicky!
This is extremely helpful!!
I'm a Spanish native speaker who's learning Korean in English haha so your videos also help me to understand English pronunciation better 💜
The best teacher ! The best Korean teachr award goes to miss Vickey !
I still don't get why is she so underrated!
That hardwork of yours will pay off ! Fighting! Haha
Omfg this video was so helpful. My only major problem was just my american way of pronouncing words, so vowels and consonants sounded harder than what they need to. This is great 😭
You are the best teacher of korean
It's so fun learning korean from you! 감사합니다 🤩
U know i love your explaining & teaching Style ✨️❤️
This channel is a true treasure💕💕 straight to the point, detailed and well explained lessons😊 thank you sooo much💕💕
First practice sentence: I want to learn Korean fast
Me: yeah that seems helpful,pretty basic
Second sentence: It's annoying to see a magpie imitate me
Me: wHa.....
The difference between english "n" and korean "n" is not mainly about position but nasalization, Korean nasal consonants becomes denasalized at the start of a word and thats why its sounds similar to english "d" for n and "b" for m
i was really waiting for your pronunciation guide bc you teach more clearly and i could easily understand it! thank you so much
선생님 감사합니다. 한년까지 한국어 발음 공부했지만 아직도 너무 어려워요 ㅜㅜ
이비디오 많이 도움 되었어요.
Thanks for the lesson! Had to go to .75 speed when those sentences came in at the end
this video was wayyyyyy easier to comprehend than duolingo thank youuuuuu!!!!!!! :)
Omg¡ you’re such a great teacher¡ The comparison between Korean and English, and Korean and Spanish are incredibly helpful. I’m definitely subscribing
I needed this so much. Spelling has been my biggest enemy so far in learning the language. I keep on getting it wrong whenever I write hangeul cause my pronunciation has been interchangeably wrong between eo and o so I get confused when I try to write it. Also with all those confusing double batchim and irregular consonants. Thank you!
Exactly the subtle details I am looking for! Very useful and practical! Thank you Vicky!
The most useful resouce I've found so far! Clearly explaining and distinguishing the main starting points in pronunciation that confuse most non-Asian learners! Thank you very very much! Actually learning more details about the phonology and tongue placement was very enlightening!
It confuses various asians too. Jackson still wasn't fluent after his debut with got7 when he was on a variety show, and couldn't spell his lyrics correctly. Actually watching a Monsta x game on youtube they couldn't understand why Shownu was pronouncing things weirdly....and he was born there. FRom Bam, Jay park, all the Cantonese members of Wavy, Jessie. THese are Asians that were tripped up by Korean because it is confusing.

I know quite a bit of Spanish and i’ve only just started learning Korean a week ago- its fun to see a language i’ve been learning for 5 years and a language i started learning only a week ago at the same time-
Thank you so much for making these videos!!! I’ve been watching a bunch during this quarantine. I’ve been meaning to learn Korean for years but have never followed through until now. Thanks again for taking the time to make these!!
Thank you Miss Vicky! Your lessons have solved so many doubts and confusions!
8:00 why did they Koreanize "swag" like whyyy
Just want to let you know about my appreciation of your hard work and you are an amazing teacher. Thank you very much. Great help!
You helped make the hardest things become short. Keep doing it! I love your channel.
Thank you for this video Miss Vicky. It definitely helped me with my Korean pronunciation.
After watching this video my mind is totally blown up. So many sounds and so little difference between them :)
Wow! You're absolutely brilliant! I'm Bi-lingual (English/Polish) and have to say that the latter is incredibly helpful when learning Korean due to a greater similarity of sounds I.e. ㅈ to polish dz or ㅡ which in Polish you'd pronounce as y and so on.
If you only could see my notes in two languages now 😂
It's actually your videos and explanations that made me realise that and subsequently made my learning journey way easier. Thank you!!! ❤
I’m bilingual too! I speak English and Tagalog
That's awesome! My first language is Spanish and it also has many similarities with the Korean sounds, probably only English is the worst point to start. I want to learn Polish so bad but I've noticed there are no many materials online compared to other languages, even Korean has more activity.
I speak dutch and a lot of the pronunciations of the letters are the same as in dutch. Like the "EU" sound etc, it helps a lot
Tbh its more easy learning now but I'm so lazy but since this is important to me imma learn it every Friday through Sunday since I have school on Monday through Friday ugh online school but I really appreciate u helping us outsiders with this
this seems like it’s pre-loaded in my mind although i’ve never really studied any language than english (and korean). i guess hearing korean at school everyday does help.
for the vowel ㅡ I've always thought of the equivalent sound is the 'oo' from the word g'oo'd. but said with keeping your lips flat
받침 비디오 시리즈로 쌤의 채널을 찾았는데 꾸준히 보고 있어요! 감사합니다 빅키샘~~ 구체적인 설명을 해주시네요!
Im glad I came across this video. I’m going to visit South Korea for the first time soon. So I better learn before I go there with my friends
8:19 i think the correct distinction is voiceless vs voiced.
voiceless consonants: Ch, K, P, S, Sh, T,
voiced consonants: B, D, G, J, L, M, N, Ng, R, W, Y
voiceless doesnt use vocal cords and is usually more aspirated (like you said)
this is the difference between ㅂ and ㅍ (ㅍ more aspirated)
비 ㅂ is voiceless
(closer to p)
나비 butterfly ㅂ is voiced (close to b)
ㅍ is aspirated but its also a "plosive" like an extra explosion of air when its pronounced, more so than ㅂ.
Korean pronunciation isnt hard as long as you understand the basics of linguistics and the fact that its more phonetic than english helps a lot too.
Lol perfect timing 😄 Thank you👍
Thank you for doing videos like this😊 I got to learn korean, I started watching about learning the alphabet and then so on...and now I know how to read hangeul, thanks to you miss vicky😊😊💜
It's my pleasure 😊💜💜
@@KoreanwithMissVicky really grateful for your videos😘❣️ I'm from the Philippines and really it's a struggle learning korean but because of your videos it has been a big help to me😊😍❣️
제가 외국인입니다. 한국어를 전공했거든요. 자음과 모음의 정확한 발음에 제대로 신경을 안 쓴 건데 (ㅂ --는 b로 발음하고 등등등)크게 실수했네요. 이제부터 바로잡아야지요.
강의 감사합니다
Thank you do much for the Spanish examples! I speak Spanish and English, and the Spanish examples really helped me differentiate the difference between digeut and san digeut(sorry for the poor romanization... lmao) but that actually helped me! Tysm.
Thank You very Much Miss Vicky, Your Korean teaching videos are the best ! I really wish that You give Us private lessons or courses for the People who want to practice more natural Korean conversations like Italki App
A very interesting and informative video; I'll definitely check out more of your videos :)
It's interesting to see that I have a bit less of a problem distinguishing between the sounds and making them based on my mother tongue.
Also, learning another foreign language (Korean) with explanations in a foreign language (English) is basically having double the benefits- learning a second language and getting better at English at the same time, gotta love multitasking ^^
A quick note I think I picked up on. 를 sounds like "rul" in english, as in ruler but as if you almost cut out the "u" so you say it quicker? Of course the "r" is a little less pronounced too. Correct me if I'm wrong. 😄Also hello from Wales and thanks a lot (or as we say, Diolch yn fawr) for your videos, I've learned a lot so far!!
