Source: TenguGo Hangul (app)
Remember all those basic consonants where there were 2 possible pronunciations and I said I'd explain it in later lessons? Here it is! The rules require understanding what Pat'chim are (Read Complex Blocks if you don't).
ㅂ - b/p
pabo (fool) 바보
The letter ㅂ is pronounced "p" in the initial position and as Pat'chim. In other positions it is pronounced "b". So in this example the first instance is pronounced "p" but the second is pronounced "b".
ㄹ - r/l
raeil (rail) 래일
The letter ㄹ is pronounced "l" as Pat'chim. In other positions it is pronounced "r". So in this example the first instance is pronounced "r" but the second is pronounced "l".
ㄷ - t/d
tuda (put) 두다
The letter ㄷ is pronounced "t" in the initial position and as Pat'chim. In other positions it is pronounced "d". So in this example the first instance is pronounced "t" but the second is pronounced "d".
ㅅ - s/sh
shisang (ceremony) 시상
The letter ㅅ is pronounced "s". Except when it comes before the vowel ㅣ and is pronounced "sh". So in this example the first instance is pronounced "sh" but the second is pronounced "s".
ㅈ - ch/j
chaju (often) 자주
The letter ㅈ is pronounced "ch" in the initial position and as Pat'chim. In other positions it is pronounced "j". So in this example the first instance is pronounced "ch" but the second is pronounced "j".
ㄱ - k/g
kagu (furniture) 가구
The letter ㄱ is pronounced "k" in the initial position and as Pat'chim. In other positions it is pronounced "g". So in this example the first instance is pronounced "k" but the second is pronounced "g".
