Why “M” sometimes sounds like “B” in Korean!🙌

Nothing wrong with your ears! Korean M, 미음 (ㅁ), does sound like “b” in a way (not as strong or forceful though)🤓

Let me know if there’s any other Korean pronunciation that you need clarified!🤗

*Yes!! I've noticed that '누나' is pronounced as 'Doona', not 'Noona'. Is it the same for 'ㄴ' , as it is in 'ㅁ' ??*

But sometimes they pronounce m....other times it sounds like a b....I still don't understand😢

[@jiniuskorean]

This is when ㅁ is at the beginning of a word only!❤

@@jiniuskorean ooohhh so I could just remember that when m (ㅁ) is at the beginning of the word it changes to b?

I have noticed koreans often pronounce G as a K. As someone who is learning korean i would pronounce "ga bang" with an english sounding G. But my friend say it with a K so it sounds like "ka bang" to me. why is that?

[@jiniuskorean]

I recently posted a short video just about that! "How to pronounce "ㄱ" - is it g or k?" Feel free to watch and let me know if you have further questions!🥰
