consonants are a bit more harder to "grasp" - in korean we have a term called 받침 which will be exampled later on ^.^~ consonants are easy for me, as i learnt it when i was in kindergarten, but for foreigners, it may be a bit harder to example..
╭──────༺♡༻──────╮
before we start saying consonants, i would like to teach you how to build hangeul.
in korean we have cv, cvc cvc [down], and cvcc.
please use internet to see the image down !

that is basically how you build it.
its very explanatory. basically "vowel" is always the second character, or space.
so lets continue.
i will be saying the easiest consonants for english speakers !
ㄴ - n
ㅇ - ng, when ng is in the first consonant block, it has no sound. but when it is in the last consonant it makes a sound. 방 (bang) 앙 (ang)
ㅁ - m
that is about it, in my opinion. when i first learnt latin a couple of years back those were the easiest letters for me, but also sometimes confusing.
now lets move onto the korean consonants ~ !
☪. ⋆
ㄱ - g/k basically in english you say the "k" in book at the end, but in korean, 북, is said kind of like "boog" with a subtle g/ at the end [?]
please watch videos on it because it is hard to example ~ you can say k or g but typically it changes pronunciation, but korean cant see difference between it
ㅋ - k koreans can see difference between ㅋ. it is much sharper and is aspirated.
ㄲ - kk a stronger variant of ㄱ
☪. ⋆
ㄷ - d/t kind of like g/k!
ㅌ - t
ㄸ - tt
stronger then ㄷ
☪. ⋆
ㄹ - r/l
this one is probably the most confusing. most romanised words with ㄹ are "r" - but how i pronounce ㄹ is by having the tip of my tongue up and then trying to say english "l" !
☪. ⋆
ㅂ - b/p
ㅍ - p/f
ㅃ - bb
☪. ⋆
ㅅ - sh, s
ㅆ - sh
☪. ⋆
ㅈ - j, ch
ㅉ - jj
ㅊ - ch
☪. ⋆
and lastly...
ㅎ - h
!
☪. ⋆
