Learn Korean in 30 Minutes

Consonants: ㅂ

First letter! ㅂ is for Bucket without handles or a Base of some sorts. Maybe Bracer if you wanna see it as a tooth with braces. Point is, it's sort of a B sound!!

This is a sound that fluctuates depending on its placement in a word. At the beginning it sounds airy, but elsewhere it sounds rounded. Don't worry if it sounds confusing: it's entirely intuitive. I didn't realize my fluctuating pronounciation for this letter was correct until someone pointed out that ㅂ has different pronounciation depending on placement, so you'll be fine!! There's barely any difference between ㅂ and the Korean p, at least from what I know. Correct me if I'm wrong! You'll see the airy ㅂ in bal (발), which means foot, and Bangtan Boys (방탄소년단). You'll see the rounded ㅂ in GOT7 (것세븐) and Seventeen (세븐틴).

Consonant and vowel chapters will be pretty short and easy to read because there's usually not much to say, but some things require more explaining than others, especially when we get to w and y.

Don't forget to comment, like, add to your reading list, spread the word!! I answer questions. If this gets out enough I might make one for learning actual Korean!!
