This really helped me with pronouncing aspirated and tensed sounds. I haven't seen anyone explain it in this way but now I can actually differentiate them.
Excellent video!! This is the first time I can actually hear the difference in all three (regular consonant, aspirated and tensed version) thanks to your great explanation. Thank you so much! You are a really good teacher. All of your videos have helped me greatly with my Korean language study.
I watched all the videos that come up in the search results before yours (about 8 videos) and yours is BY FAR the best. You've rightfully earned a new subscriber!
the thing everyone wants to know is tense consonants... one thing I want to know is why ㄱ g /k/ becomes /g/ between vowels also, some people speak ㄲ as /g/ which is confusing... because of the above ㄲ seems to be glottalized k or k with a built in glottal stop that is, tense consonants seem to be plain consonants glottalized
As a native speaker of Brazilian Portuguese (a language whose plosives are less aspirated than English), I always saw aspiration as something EXTRA you do when producing a consonant sound, so I didn't quite get it when Korean teachers described Korean plain consonants as "soft" or "weak," as Korean plosives sound voiceless and aspirated word-initially (not as aspirated as ㅋㅌㅊㅍ, but still very clearly aspirated to my lusophone ears). I guess I come from a background where people associate "strong" with aspiration. Why would an aspirated consonant be described as weak? It can be tricky to try and understand what teachers mean when they say a particular consonant is strong/weak, or soft/hard in a given language. For Korean, I guess I ended up understanding "weak"/"soft" as "volatile," as plain consonants go from aspirated + voiceless word-initially to unaspirated + voiced between vowels.
Yes, it is difficult to recognize especially for Portuguese or Spanish speakers. Can you search what VOT(voice onset time) means on google? ㅋㅌㅊㅍ have longer VOT than ㄱㄷㅈㅂ.
ㄱ sounds pretty much like an unaspirated k besides, most of online learners compare to english speakers that is, unaspirated k in skit is the same as korean g /k/ or soft k korean g /k/ becomes regular voiced g /g/ consonats between vowels...
The best video about the difference of Korean consonants' sounds. It was always confusing for me and I always mixed the sounds together but this lesson is GOLD
cant describe how grateful i am for meeting this youtube channel TT you saved me from struggling self study Korean, prof Yoon!!! TT cant believe this is soooo underrated

This is called "light board".
