wow. even I'm a Korean,I became to understand how Korean works.(before, no need to think it as a native spearker ^^) the best teaching for those who are familiar with western-language system! here's one tip from a korean native speaker for everyone trying to learn Korean: just remember sound not from the chest or throat, but from the front part of your mouth. it would be easier to prononciate Korean when you make the shallower sounds, without rolling your tongue. really impressed anyway.

Good stuff. Helps recap the things I studied the other month. Especially as I keep forgetting these rules, or the fact they exist until I hear the proper pronunciation!

Is there a mechanical way to go about doing it? That is, rather than examining the hangul, remembering the rule and modifying the pronunciation in my head, can I just read as I see (for e.g. 앞마) and do the 'ㅁ' early, somehow closing off/nasalising the sound? I've tried but I suck. I don't know if I'm wrong or I need practice :D

@iwantagoodnameplease When I started studying Korean, already quite some time ago, my Korean-native-speaker teacher always emphasized on how much easier Korean is pronounced, if you keep these rules, which was for me a native speaker of German really hard to grasp another none-native-speaker of Korean gave me later a tip: try to imagine being really drunk and your tongue loosing the ability to make this crisp and hard sounds and it really worked for me.
