Course 2: Pronunciation
Course Description
Pronunciation of single phonemes and simple vowels is relatively straightforward. When multiple phonemes are combined, however, the idea of one sound per symbol can often disappear very quickly. What you learned in basic writing or regarding the pronunciation of letters suddenly does not match what you hear in real life. There is often a disconnect due to rather key linguistic information missing from your studies. In Foundational Korean: Pronuncation, we will cover four topics that will bridge together what you see in writing versus what you hear in speech: 1) Spelling/Pronunciation Mismatches, 2) Voicing Pronunciation Patterns, 3) Phoneme Assimilation Patterns, and 4) Final Consonant Cluster Pronunciation Patterns. By learning and understanding these key concepts, you will able to resolve the discrepancies between what you see in Hangeul and what you hear in spoken Korean!
