I've been using Duolingo and they do the same thing: pronouncing both the "o" and "u" in the same way, which has been very frustrating. So, this was extremely helpful, because that's how I thought they were supposed to be pronounced!
Same , just started learning Korean with Duolingo. From the app it seems some words have the o/u more pronounced and some words sounds as if the "o" is a "u" and the "u" is an "o". Hard to tell the difference, hence why I'm on this video 😅
@@bradleyhenry1996 I learned recently that Duolingo mostly uses text-to-speech for its lessons. So, some of the problem is probably because of that....
This was SO, SO helpful! I didn’t realize it was a dialect issue. And those were actually the words that I hear and get confused with. Also, cool being featured in the beginning 😁
As a spanish speaker is was a good example ^^ very straightforward As an extra the standard O sound in spanish is more in between 어 and 오 so there is also an extra confusion hahaha (at least me)... and yeah we also hear 오 in between O and U so also there can be some mistakes
I started learning Korean on Duolingo and o/u have been frustrating me soooo much! The video is great and it helped me a little bit, but not that much. I guess it’s harder for me if neither English nor Spanish is my native language. I hear the difference in English and Spanish, but then not in Korean! Or maybe I feel a slight difference, but I still find it hard to catch. Fun fact: my native language (Polish) also has two vowels that sound like this (more or less, I guess they are both closer to ㅜ): u and ó. And there is no difference in pronunciation between them. They used to sound different 100 years ago or so and I understand that ó sounded more like o back then (so sth like ㅗ possibly?). So maybe we also had sth like this, but then we lost it and now I am genetically unable to hear it 🙃 Just kidding (probably). But if some Polish speaker comes across this comment, I will appreciate some help ;)
New learner here. This video was sooooo helpful! I’ve been using duolingo and not understanding the difference in pronunciation. The “uno” example and showing the difference in jaw movement helped a ton!
omg when u explained the english "o" at 1:52 i literally went "OHHHHHHH" 😂😂never realised the english "o" was like 3 sounds in one 😂thanks for the very helpful video!! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL!!
Native Spanish speaker here. About "UNO", the first two letters "U-N" are quite close to 운. But "O", I wouldn't say it sounds like 오. "O" closer to an 어. We don't have the 오 sound in Spanish. So I would say "UNO" is more like 우너. I would describe 오 as articulating a Spanish "O", but with the lips in the Spanish "U" position.
Thank you! I am learning Spanish and the example with “uno” confused me even more because “o” there also sounds more like ㅓ for me (and it doesn’t help me with Korean, because I verly clearly see a diffefence in u and o in „uno”, but still cannot catch u/o in Korean).
Hi unnie, could you please make a video on how to pronounce words that have vowels with "y" in them? (ya, yeo, ye, yo, yu)? For example, 류 / 랴 / 려 , 료, etc. I hope my question sense...Thank you so much for these pronunciation videos! They are seriously the best and have helped me a great deal on how to pronounce words that I wasn't confident about.
Interesting, you are the first korean that actually get into the subtle stuff that not so many people talks about or that i simply cant find the answer, like i am the only one in this world struggling with that. Subscribed. Love the mentioning about why sometimes the O and U sound could mix up, now it makes sense. Not only this thing, I am also confused with why sometimes 1. Ne is pronounced as De or at least sounded like that. 2. The Ga is pronounced as Ka when it is placed infront of a word or a sentence. 3. Similar to the first one, which is Mo is pronounced as Bo. 4. Why and when do we exagerrate prolonging the last syllable like in the movies and tv shows.
Thank you so much for that. The last part talking about how ㅗ can be pronounced ㅜ is something that I’ve noticed and has made me think I don’t really understand the true nature of particularly how ㅗ is pronounced. So, this really clears it up for me. Thank you.
I am so happy to know I wasn't hearing it incorrectly ❤. Hearing 그리고 with an O sound, sounded weird to me, but when heard 그리구 with a U sound, it sounded natural. Same with all the other words too. I feel like at this point what would mostly stump me in my korean learning journey would be learning the correct spelling.
I've been spending about a quarter of my life doing research on it and no one could tell me about it the way you do 😭😭😭So thank you so much and keep it up for the wonderful work! 🫶🫰 P/S: I also did some research on it after watching your video and I learned that this is one of the characteristics of the Gyeonggi Dialect/경기 방언. I'm sorry my English may be wrong and bothering you.
Your lessons are the best language lessons I've come across for Korean. 정말 고마워요! Just a small note on Super. In American and British English, the u is pronounced like a proper u, not like ㅜ. Soup on the other hand, is pronounced like ㅜ
Thank you for distinguishing these two vowels. I always got confused because they sound extremely similar to me when I first learned them. I’m a Taiwanese by the way. Your lesson helps!
Omg so thankful to this video. Its really helpful for me as a korean learner. While watching drama or sth they just sound like u 돈 -> 둔 and Im really confused if I misheard it.
Thank you for this video! I noticed that there is a female speaker on TTMIK who often changes the 오 and 우 who voices a lot of material there. In your clip, you showed both men and women doing this, but you mention that it's mostly women. This makes me wonder: do guys that say 우 instead of 오 sound girly?
Wow, uno … a complete game changer for this non Spanish speaking American (USA) 🤯 Also watching you pronounce with a side profile was super helpful as well. Thank you for confirming that I’m not crazy and sometimes hear a “u” pronunciation when it’s actually an “o” 🙃
I thought its super easy to distinguishe untill I heard someone saying 도서관. No idea why but sometimes I hear them saying the 두 sound more than the 도 sound 😄
Would you be able to make a video on why you can find some words, such as 바삭하다, ending with an ㅁ? An example being 바삭함 which I found written on a packet of 부침가루. Also thanks for continuing to create such great content. I can tell you put a lot of prep and effort into your videos. Definitely one of my favourite Korean language channels alongside Go Billy :)
Thanks for your kind words! You’re talking about nominalization, which is making an adjective into a noun (like crispy -> crispiness). Sounds like a good idea for a video :)
In Spanish from Spain, the "o" in uno is closer to the "eo" in corean. I'm Spanish and I'm having a lot of troubles telling the difference between u and o
Duolingo is making this one harder than it needs to be for me 🥲 the “o” vowel sounds similar to our Swedish Åå so the sound is easy to do but I can’t tell them apart in the app 😤 they pronounce them the same or switch around!!
your videos are always so helpful! it makes me so happy that you explain the articulation clearly - it is much easier to learn how to make a new sound if you know *how* you're supposed to shape it :D do you teach or tutor, by any chance? can I hire you?
Thanks for your comment! I’m not tutoring yet but I plan to start later this year once I get a payment system set up. Please stay subscribed, I’ll upload a notice once I’m ready 🥰
I really did think that it was either my hearing or my iPad speakers that was the problem when I hear words like 저도, 그리고 and 하고 ! Thank you for resolving this doubt I had for so long! But if I were to pronounce as 저도 as it is written will I be understood? 고마워요 샘물 씨.
@@YourKoreanSaem No littérature, just an observation. I think it has to do with the position of the tongue necessary to pronounce ㄱ and ㅇ, which is closer to 우.
The issue is not when pronounce them separately. Issue comes when they are in a word. Both ㅗ or ㅜ sound the same to me. For example 소물. 수물. Cannot get the difference on the first silaby 😭😭
선생님 발음 비디오들 볼 때마다 하나하나 설명해 주셔서 학습자들 입장에서 너무 쉬울 것 같아요. 저 유튜브 시작하기 전부터 선생님이 발음규칙들 엄청 자세하게 설명하시는 비디오들 많이 봤었거든요. 이번 영상도 모국어 화자로서는 당연해도 학습자들에겐 헷갈리는 걸 딱!!! 🔥 잘 봤습니당!
For me it's because pronunciation 오 is between my native language o (which strongly resembles 어 - wiki says that the only difference is roundness; in NK Korean it's eactly the same sound ;P ) and u (which is Korean 우). At least I've got 으 (my native y sound) for granted :D
*And I like the Grammar Of 한국어 because it's not irritating or hard like English* *한국어 Is so easy to learn in few months!* *By the way, I'm learned all the letters in 15 days, and still remember them! 🤗🤗😇😇*
It actually did not take time for me to learn the letter or remember what they are but i am having such a hard time with making the basic consonants sound
Except for 으. The difference in pronunciation of Hindi and Korean would be (in my opinion), in Korean they're a lot of consonants that are slightly aspirated. Not that i think about it ㅆ is more like स. We don't have an aspirated version of स. And for 오 as well. The words that we have in hindi require pronouncing is elaborately and correctly. For words like भाषा it would be 바사 and they're are completely different. But still in hindi they're are aspirated consonants like ख ध छ फ which can be like ㅋ ㄷ ㅊ ㅍ but less aspirated than the hindi one's.
It is like O and U in the Philippines. We sometimes pronounce some words as u instead of o or o instead of u. Example: (These words are Tagalog words.) Dugo--Dogo(Blood) Puso--Pusu(Heart) But it depends upon how to pronounce it specially when you pronounce it according to your regional accent.

Question ! You often said in previous pronunciation guide that consonants like ㄷ ㅂ ㄱ are unvoiced at the start of a word, and voiced in the middle of a word. Is this separation always word by word ? Or is there some scenario where if the speaker links two word together then he might as well voice the consonant ? If so how do you have any tips to help growing a feeling for this limit ?
Hi! Hmmm I can’t back this academically so may be wrong but you should think of it as word by word like you said. Maybe it might sound voiced when saying two words together really fast but you don’t need to concern yourself with that, just remember that at the word initial those unvoiced consonants will always be unvoiced!
Please let me know if I'm getting the difference between 어, 오, and 우 correctly: 어 is like the vowel in the word "laws"; 오 is like the vowel in the word "loss"; and 우 is like the vowel in the word "loose".
선생님, 제가 문제가 있읍니다. I noticed that when a word that has 오 vowel in it is followed with a syllable that has an 우 vowel, the 우 gets pronounced as 오. For instance, I noticed that 호수 (lake) and 호주 (Australia) are pronounced as 호소 and 호조, respectively. Did I hear it wrong or is it really pronounced that way? I hope you notice my comment. 감사합니다!
I don't know why but there are sooooo many cases for me where the 오 sounds more like a 'u' where it shouldn't be an accent thing. Even on Papago something as simple as 오다 does not sound like 'oda' but rather 'uda' to me. *sigh*
Ms. Saem, regarding ㅜ, I tend to pronounce it as "double O" (food, boot 👢, loot) or "U" (put), but the confusion starts when short "U" sounds from ㅡ (eu) get in the mix. Mostly observed with names, some Koreans decide to Romanize them not according to how it's spelled. Example, 석 (Seok) becoming Suk or 전 (Jeon) spelled as Jun. I wonder if this is being done to other nouns as well. There s this Netflix show The Other Miss Oh. To guide me on how to pronounce ㅗ, I think of the scene in which they chant "Oh Haeyoung/Oh Haeyeong." Sorry, Saem, seems like a slippery slope here, but I gotta point out another, well, point, of confusion, I see 해영 Romanized as either Haeyoung or Haeyeong. Is this a matter of preference?
@@YourKoreanSaem Feedback much appreciated. Thanks. Ahh, you had mentioned the Spanish word "Uno" for "One." I kept sounding it out earlier and realized its "o" sound actually is closer to ㅓ (eo). Geureom, 우너, but this is for another vid. Loving your vids. When you are explaining in Korean, my self-assessment was that my comprehension is at pre-kindergarten level.

I’d say more like 어 is closer to the u in under and 오 is like o in over. For my accent law and loss sound very similar :)

Ms. Saem, regarding ㅜ, I tend to pronounce it as "double O" (food, boot 👢, loot) or "U" (put), but the confusion starts when short "U" sounds from ㅡ (eu) get in the mix.
Mostly observed with names, some Koreans decide to Romanize them not according to how it's spelled. Example, 석 (Seok) becoming Suk or 전 (Jeon) spelled as Jun. I wonder if this is being done to other nouns as well.
There s this Netflix show The Other Miss Oh. To guide me on how to pronounce ㅗ, I think of the scene in which they chant "Oh Haeyoung/Oh Haeyeong."
Sorry, Saem, seems like a slippery slope here, but I gotta point out another, well, point, of confusion, I see 해영 Romanized as either Haeyoung or Haeyeong. Is this a matter of preference?
Those are technically incorrect romanizations influenced by English words like “sun” or “hung” etc. but you’re right it does make it confusing!
@@YourKoreanSaem Feedback much appreciated. Thanks.
Ahh, you had mentioned the Spanish word "Uno" for "One." I kept sounding it out earlier and realized its "o" sound actually is closer to ㅓ (eo). Geureom, 우너, but this is for another vid. Loving your vids. When you are explaining in Korean, my self-assessment was that my comprehension is at pre-kindergarten level.
are you gonna do the Christian vocab? 🙁
It will be my next upload 😘
This was helpful, however I think spelling will stay a challenge 😅
