Korean Hangul #4b- Syllable Practice

[feiwong70]

Thank you so much for these great videos. I really love your teaching methods. It's like you are sitting in front of me teaching. I've learned Korean a lot more and quicker with these short lessons than any other published text books and videos out there combined. Thank you, Teacher!

[SakaNaomi]

Ahhh, Korean made so much sense until so many of the consonants turn in to "t" at the end.

[xxcpxx]

omg, these videos is RIDICULOUSLY AMAAAAZZZZINNNGGGG!!!! I'm attempting to learn korean, and I'm already learning so much in the first night :D Thank you so much for taking the time to do them!

[xXKibaForeverMoreXx]

ahhh talking to fast, cant take notes this fast lol but i think this is a bit easier then english so far and i grew up in america xD english is so complicated, hope this isnt as hard :D

[Hamppzah]

"I guess we have to just suck it up" :D:D

[td520520]

very good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[PreciousGem891]

At 2:48 keke, it looks like you drew two funny faces on the left side ^____^

[soshified92]

Is it safe to say that an easy way to remember when the consonant sound changes on the bottom is to remember what letter the consonant name ends with? For example, bieup ends in "p", so when bieup is the end consonant its a "p" sounds, or siot ends in "t", so when siot is the end consonant its a "t" sound, or giyeok ends in "k" so it makes a k sound when the end consonant, and others?

[soshified92]

Thank you so much these videos are amazing! I've searched everywhere for great instruction like this thank you!

[DolphinMemories]

What's the difference between all the GAT(s)? When do you apply the different GAT when you write in korean?

[DannMi17]

Thank u again best teacher ever =)

[peacethrumusiq]

I know that when speaking it sounds the same regardless of what consonant you are using, but in writing, it makes a differences in meaning correct? 

[tokee1234567]

@peacethrumusiq yes. well think that certain vocabs need certain consonants (esp at the bottom). 갖 (gaj) and 같 (gat) have the same sound (gat) but they're both used in different vocabulary (갖 for each) and 같 for the vocab Together 같이. usually the good thing is the consonants are not used in a "multiple" sense for vocabs but each vocab only requires one type of consonant ending that is not shared by any other vocab (makes vocab memorizing easier). hope that helps

[peacethrumusiq]

@tokee1234567 :) thank you!



[PlatinumParade]

sooper lesson, one question why do koreans have to be so good at everything?

[tokee1234567]

@PlatinumParade competition and the drive to be the best. 60 yrs ago Korea came out of the Korean war and South Korea was poorer than a lot of African countries. in less than a century it has become one of Asia's richest countries. Can't achieve that unless the people have that drive to work hard and be the best.

[PlatinumParade]

@tokee1234567 cant argue with that, you guys have one of the best work ethics, modesty, respect and integrity! 

[0moiom0]

With practice on my own, this should be as easy as memorizing the consonants :)

awesome lessons, thanks!

[0moiom0]

With practice on my own, this should be as easy as memorizing the consonants ^^

awesome lessons, thanks!

[0moiom0]

With practice on my own, this should be as easy as memorizing the consonants ^^

awesome lessons, thanks!

[ai3gt]

Hey thanks for these videos man, I've been learning Korean w/ Rosetta stone but this is laying a great foundation. After your first four videos I actually read my first Korean word lol which was "Little Boy" thanks again.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@ai3gt I am very happy!!!! thank you

[youmeandh3r]

oooooohhh.. most of the letters, when combined as a syllable, the sound becomes, 't' xD

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@youmeandh3r Hello, I have just sent you a link to Korean consonant pronunciation chart^__^. Hope that's helpful.

[KPOPLURVES]

@BusyAtomdotcom Can you send me the chart too?

[27Rambi]

@BusyAtomdotcom can you give me the link too? :)

[vintotal]

"Don't ask me why, that's how it is" hahahah :-D

[NazeeraSHINee94]

sorry for asking..how to write a name with 4 word? ex: jong, hwan

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@NazeeraSHINee94 Somehow Korean get by with 3 elements in one syllable^__^. EX 1) JONG --> J (ㅈ) O (ㅗ) NG (ㅇ), so 종 - when Korean ㅇ is at the ending consonant it sounds like "ng". EX 2) HWAN --> H (ㅎ) WA (ㅘ) N (ㄴ). Please finish all alphabet videos. Later you will see compound vowels and consonants^__^

[eurrahjoy]

how do you write in korean

the word "GOD" if "D" becomes "T"????

i'm confused..!

[tokee1234567]

@eurrahjoy to say things like that, koreans put ㅡ eu vowel with that consonant

god- 가드 - ga-deu. or they just go by how you put it 갓 - gat

[88floor88]

acctualy for me it sounds like the bottom consonants aren't even there... it's more like ga, not gat, you don't really hear the t. I love your videos by the way. I'm from holland and the r, l thing is easy beacause we have something like that too, yey (^-^)!

[liegjepiet]

Gat,Gat,Gat,Gat,Gat hmm wich one lol

thx 4 your explanation ;)

[proudpinaygirl101]

I am actually learning alot with these videos, my uncle tests me on what I've learned and he said I'm doing really well

[angrybumblebee357]

lol. i love the random chicken stew at the end.

[angrybumblebee357]

Is anyone else's video not playing???

[d3fyre]

i speak tagalog.. at 2:58 you said hanggang, which means 'until' lol

[zulannie77]

lol what's up with the chicken stew at the end

[KelsiMontana123]

How i wish Korean would be an easier language =/

[tokee1234567]

@KelsiMontana123 it's actually easier than Chinese, but Korean is the most easiest language to read in the world... there just aren't enough ppl to teach it properly, and you are watching a video which isn't sometimes that efficient because you're not talking with a native Korean

[jealousofmyninja96]

so basically when you are wirting korean you would have to memorize the words and that determines which character you use for "gat" right?im just learning and for learning how to speak korean the video he posted he said we had to know the basic korean alphabet so any and all tips would be super appreciated.THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!

[tokee1234567]

@jealousofmyninja96 yes. you have to memorize individual vocab that fits under those different bottom consonants

[nejicookie]

Wow, it'll be difficult to remember which "Gat" goes to which word... 5 of them... that's a whole lot of Gats! ;3 But your explanation was very clear! ^^

[jjovereats]

I should try typing "kumquat" in a Korean IME. (Did you forget my home country is even further away than England?)

[devilfairy321]

WAT? this is confusing theres like 4 GAT out there which one to use? and does it even have any meanings????

[tokee1234567]

@devilfairy321 well it's not that confusing once you start learning vocabulary. Most of those different GATs are like that just because it is used for different vocabulary, and most of the times, it is only used for that one specific word.

[skellez83]

It sounds to me that whatever is after GA is almost not pronounced

[tokee1234567]

@skellez83 it's called a glottal sound. you need to stop the sound before it is actually pronounced. That's because or else it will be a pure consonant sound and Korea doesn't really have pure consonant sounds like just S or T.

[darkwatcher56]

So are there three different ways to write the gat sound?

[tokee1234567]

@darkwatcher56 it is used for different words or verb phrases... kind of the same as Engligh

[passionburn16]

uffff and here i am complaining that my sapnish class is difficult..

[blazerflare]

i guess korean is sort of similar to chinese. there are plenty of words that sound the same, but used differently.

[piglink10]

there are so many letters to use for the letter T , how do you know which 1 to use ?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@piglink10 I guess you just have to memorize the words - I know it is a bad news T_T. Although I wish it was but Korean is not a perfect WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) system so in many cases you have to know the words....

[0711tongie]

@BusyAtomdotcom hi!thanks for the videos... ahhmm... i'm just confuse of how to identify the right letter in the bottom if there's a lot of choices..do i need to memorize it all...

thanks!

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@0711tongie Actually one that you will eventually memorize will be the actual "word". Just like in English, you need to memorize correct spelling. At this point, I wouldn't worry about those things. Once you finish the alphabet and when studying Korean Lessons for Beginners you will be introduced to new words and sentences^__^.

[0711tongie]

@BusyAtomdotcom thanks for the info..i really want to learn korean language..and how about making a sentence do i need memorize it or after all the lesson can i will be able to construct a sentence?..thanks.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@0711tongie You will learn sentence formation slowly in the Korean lessons for beginners.^__^

[0711tongie]

@BusyAtomdotcom thank you .. im really looking forward to learn from your videos..

[BusyAtomdotcom]

@piglink10 About the ending consonants though, there is some guide for pronouncing them. Please refer one of my site called learnkoreanalphabet and look for a"Consonant Pronunciation Chart "

[IngridMinnieXD]

u.u esto es muy importante y no lo entiendo =(

[nievephoenix]

this is quite puzzling,

uhm,how do we know which alphabet to use at the bottom when so many of them sounds like 't' ?

[tokee1234567]

@nievephoenix when you are learning vocabulary, certain vocab only uses certain bottom consonants

잣 - pine nuts 잦은 - actions that are done quite often

as you memorize Korean words, you'll notice that only certain verbs and actions use certain bottom consonants.

[wackysueting]

erm y is it tt in the chart it says when ㅎ is the ending consonant, it is pronounced as 't', but in this vid it says tt ㅎ is pronounced as 'h' or rather there's no sound at all?

[tokee1234567]

@wackysueting the H sound is if the ㅎ is the beginning consonant

[wackysueting]

@tokee1234567 erm, but why does seonsaengnim say that when it's at the bottom, it doesn't have any sound at 5.23?

[tokee1234567]

@wackysueting it's a very soft h sound at the bottom. consonants change their pronunciation when they are at the bottom. (but most of the time it depends on the word because when there is a certain letter that comes after that letter it changes the pronunciation of the word)

for ex. most consonants at the bottom would make a T sound.

ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅅ, ㄷ, ㅌ (T sound)

ㄱ (K) ㄴ (N) ㄹ (L) ㅁ (m) ㅇ (-ng [ex. liking, throwing, long]) ㅋ (K sound, but not used that much as bottom consonant)

[dpr0f]

does Letter G or Gieuk pronounce as Letter K ?

[tokee1234567]

@dpr0f um... it's a slight K but it's more like G

ㅋ - kiuk is the actual korean word that sounds closest to K

[Lorenzokwon]

I didn't know that all those ended with a "t" sound. Glad I checked out your older videos. Thanks! Can you tell me a specific order to watch all your videos to learn?

[majokd]

how do you know when to use which "gat"??? i mean...they sound the same...

[tokee1234567]

@majokd depends on the vocabs... and there are a lot.

[strtch01]

I don't need to understand why but it will be hard to remember that the consonants change sound when in he Bottom square.

This is very helpful though, many thanks to you for doing this. :)

감삼니다

[wadever05]

u're so funny hahahahah

[noveen11]

Thanks sir for these videos. It helps me a lot. Fighting, ^^

[tyrantasaurus]

thank you so much! your videos make it so much easier to learn outside of a classroom! :D you explain it very thoroughly!

[leprechaungiant1]

WOW this helped sooooo much! thank YOU!!!

[Ergi93MCPMU]

I MUST learn and that NAP...?

[SuperMeSoCute]

is there only one type of korean language?

[tokee1234567]

@SuperMeSoCute um... there are over 6 dialects in South Korea + North Korea has its own dialect. Many korean words are either Native Korean words or Sino-korean words where the words' meanings are derived from chinese letters and their meanings. (that's why they have 2 different ways to count numbers, 2 different words for colour and etc) Hope that helps

[yosoccerboy]

My friend asked for help on this, so I commented on it for everyone ^-^

0:40 When a softer sound, like ㄱ (g), is at the end of a syllable, it has a more aspirated sound, like a ㅋ (k). Likewise with ㅂ (b) and ㅍ (p).

1:10 3:00 and 3:30 When ㅈ, ㅅ, ㅆ,ㅉ, or ㅊ, (j, s, ss, jj, or ch) are at the end of a character/word, it changes to a ㄷ or ㅌ (d or t) sound.

2:00 When ㅇ is at the end of a character block, it changes into a "ng" sound. When it isn't, it's just silent, a "placeholder".

Hope I helped~! :)

[majokd]

@yosoccerboy thank you so much! you did help :)!

[Applebeees]

if the G is pronunced like "k" what isnt it written there instead of G

kat kang kan ... etc...??

[refreshme132]

does that mean all characters with the bottom with the consonants d,s,j,cha, and t will pronounce as T at the end? besides for gat but all the other characters?

[insideimcrazy]

how do we know what to use at bottom to spell korean words if some sound the same..does it matter?? please help..just beginning so far..THANKYOU for wonderful teachings by the way..

[insideimcrazy]

sorry nvm i got my answer at end of video!! sorry i'm impatient!! haha i find it easy to write down as you teach..

[nuyulfana95]

i dont understand why 'gat' become 'gas' ^^

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Umm, when 'ㅅ' is placed as an ending consonant, it has THE sound of 't'. I don't know why this is happening but it is what it is. So, next time whenever you see 'ㅅ' at the ending consonant, please remember to pronounce it as 't'.  For example 'internet' in Korean is '인터넷'.

[nuyulfana95]

got it n thanks for the useful explanation . too excited to learn more about korean hangul ^^

[MaxTate]

@nuyulfana95

If you try to pronounce an 'S' without moving your lips or breathing out at the end it sounds quite similar to 't' so I guess that's it o.O

[CloudMoua]

갑 다 합 니 다!!!! X3

[TheOoze31]

..wew ! so hard to write but ill try my best to learn anyways thank you..

[atikputih]

I also get confuse.. how to know which GAT should be written when there are 4 choices.. Does it carries the same meaning?? And can we use any syllable when i want to spell Gat soon?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Which GAT to use ?

:One that in a dictionary (seriously). For example, 'quick and 'kwik' might sound the same but we use 'quick'.'

Let's say you found a new bird and somehow the sound of that bird singing was like 'Gat-gat-gat-gat...', very strange sound as a bird.

In this case you can use any of 4 syllables to describe 'GAT' because you are just describing the sound that does not have any meaning.

[aggressiveyou]

wala akong naiintindihan sa ipinost ninyo huhuhu (just nothing! just speaking in Filipino bec all comments here are in korean .. hehe)

[frce68]

Why are there many bottom consonants? It is easy to memorize if you are korean. 갓 in a syllable --- gat but, if it links to other vowels, 갓+ 이( a postposition in Korean) -- gassi 갓+ 을 (a postposition in Korean) --gassl 살갗 in a syllable ---sal kkat 살갗+이 --- sal kka chi 살갗+을 --- sal kka chl if it links to other consonants, all sound 't' 갓쓰다 --- gat ssda 살갗태우다 --- sal kkat tae oo da

[sagebates]

well when you explain the english word like how we spell cook with c but k has the same sound so that helps me when i try to understand why theres different vowels on bottom for T sound

[sagebates]

Im getting alittle confused with all the T sounds so many of the vowels when on bottom have a T sound, so if im trying to spell out GAT in korean how do i know which vowel i use on the bottom when i basically have 4 choices.

[2Shye]

it seems like last/bottom consonant is cut in half so that only the first part is heard. as if your holding it there ready to pronounce the next syllable.

I think English we use a double consonant to denote this..

so the word "battle" for example is pronounced bat-tl and the T sound is split between the two syllables.

[iam21111]

Even Koreans are not able to identify 갇 and 갓 with just hearing sound.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

갇 and 갓 have exactly the same sound in Korean. So, it will be impossible to differentiate them in their sound because they do sound identical. In fact, there are only 7 sounds for ending consonants in Korean.(of course there might be some exceptions).

[wwoozz]

aha thank you for explaining ^^

[iam21111]

한글 맞춤법상 저런 표준 규정이 있는지는 모르겠지만,상식적으로 볼땐 분명히 다른 발음이라 판단됩니다.

물론 받침이라 거의 차이가 안 나지만 엄격히 따지면 틀린 발음이라고 가르쳐야 정상이라 봅니다.

[iam21111]

원래는 아래와 같이 가르쳐야 한다고 봄.

갇 = god

갓 = gos

다만 저런 영어식 발음 표기를 하면 외국인이 두 음절(가드/가스)로 발음하기 때문에 불가피하게 한 음절로 발음되도록 표기하다 보니 자꾸 중복되는 거라 봄.

[iam21111]

원래 한글 발음은 별도로 배워야 정상임.

한정된 영어식 발음 틀에 넣어서는 절대 제대로 된 발음을 할 수 없다고 봄.

한국인이 영어 발음을 못하고 이유도 마찬가지일 겁니다.

[iam21111]

복자음 받침을 제외 하더라도 단자음 받침 14개 자음이 받침으로 쓰이며..이들 모두 미묘하게 다른 발음입니다.

[iam21111]

다만 현실적으론 구분이 거의 힘드므로 특히 외국어로 표기하기는 거의 불가능 하므로, 제한된 외국어 발음 표기를 하다보니 초보자들은 당연히 헤깔리는 겁니다.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

제가 전문적으로 국어를 공부를 하지 않아서 다방면으로 생각을 못 한것 같습니다.  앞으로도 많은 지적 부탁 드립니다.

[iam21111]

제가 실례를 무릅쓰고 딴지를 건 이유는 이 부분 때문입니다.

"exactly the same sound "

혹시나 초보자에게 방향을 잃게 할 수도 있다는 우려 때문입니다.

님의 훌륭한 성과는 높이 삽니다.

노력하신 흔적도 역력하고 자료 구성 능력 및 섬세한 설명 등은 존경스럽기까지 합니다.

제가 초면에 건방져 보였다면 널리 이해하시고 용서 바랍니다.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

예, 저도 전문가가 전혀 아닌데, 확정적인 문구를 남용한것 같습니다. 앞으로도 많은 지적 부탁드립니다. 아직 전문가의 도움을 못 구해 언어학적으로 많은 부족함이 있지만, 님처럼 많은 한국분들이 도와 주시면 좀 더 완성도 높은 한국말 교재가 되리라 생각합니다.

앞으로도 많은 지적 부탁드릴께요. 감사합니다.

[iam21111]

Total korean syllable combination is nearly 10 thousands.

But only 3 thousands are using in real life.

The remains are using in very particular case or nearly not using.

[wwoozz]

How come 갇  and 갓 have the same pronunciation?

[wwoozz]

or I mean why do they have so many gat? or will I know it in the later "episodes"?

[iam21111]

1. nearly similar sounds.

2. can't explain exactly English or charaters.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

'ㅅ' will sound same as 'ㄷ' when placed as an "ending consonant". In fact there are only 7 pronunciations (not the actual Hangul) for ending consonants in Korean.

감사합니다.

[wwoozz]

aha but how do you know which to use when? *I'm confused* sorry :)

[AznPandaBear]

If I am correct, this is why you must begin to memorize basic words and the way they are written to know.

[wwoozz]

oh I kind of get it ^^ thanks :)

[BusyAtomdotcom]

You are absolutely correct! Thank you for help!

감사합니다.

[iam21111]

It's just basic theoretical teaching.

갇 is not nearly using in real life.

Koreans are usually using 갓.

갇 is a just result of total syllable combination like waste.

It just have meanning in understanding korean basics.

[BusyAtomdotcom]

'갇' might not have many uses but there are some words that contain '갇'

ex) 갇히다.

[iam21111]

저도 한국인입니다.

전문가는 아니기 때문에 상식에 의거 반론 드립니다.

'갇히다' 이외에는 떠오르는 용도가 없네요.

[benoits426]

Thank you so much for your videos. I was visiting Korea earlier this month and loved it. Decided to learn a bit of the language and your videos are just perfect!

[Auciferrocks]

my computer can read hangul nor kanji ,,,T_T thanks to this video...~!!

[carpakb]

hi, i have a question.

so whenever you put the ''ㅅ'' at the bottom, it always turn to ''T'' sound?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

strange but 'Yes' please check out our main site busyatomdotcom and Korean Alphabet for how each consonant will be pronounced in different situations.

Thank you.

감사합니다.

[boilupsandwich]

wow thank you so much for your effort in making these videos I really appreciate you putting in the time to make these. you make it all very clear.

[scottscott08]

I really enjoy all of your videos, I am picking up really fast, 감사하십시오. What should I do on the side? to help me learn better and faster?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Thank you for enjoying our videos. About learning Korean better and faster... I am also trying to figure out how to deliver learning Korean material in a most effective way. One thing is though, it will be great help if you know how to read Korean.

감사합니다.

[LegoArt]

Thank you for your videos, they're an excellent supplement to my self-taught lessons.

I have a questions with regards to 갓 vs 갇, when would you use one over the other? Do they join up differently with words?

[BusyAtomdotcom]

They both have exactly the same sound and the only way you know when to use is to look up the dictionary.

감사합니다.

[LegoArt]

Sorry for the question, I was watching your later videos and you had addressed this!! :)

Thank you for the speedy reply. I just wanted to thank you once again for the great lessons. I have so much fun watching your videos, you have a perfect balance of humor that doesn't overpower the educational component of your videos!

[BusyAtomdotcom]

Thank you so much for nice comments. I hope my videos help you learn Korean.

감사합니다.
