    my biggest problem isn't so much the assimilation, but the fear of saying a completely different word

  • @MidoSari

    Sometimes in languages I don't care why it's like that I just take it as rule in the langauge

      Yeah. All kids in the world speak well without learning pronunciation rules.

      this is the best approach lol. there's no point in arguing with a language like "why are you like this", you just accept it and move on

    HELPFUL!!! Once I started getting into learning more seriously, I realized that listening and repeating is a much better way to sound natural because of these issues.

      Do you have any advice for beginners? i started last week and now i know the sound of hangul consonants and vowels but everytime i try read words it sounds so wrong compared to the actual pronounciation😞

    I just wanted to express how amazing these videos by TTMIK are. You guys cover both pronunciation and grammar and always help me in my studies. These Q&A videos are so descriptive and helpful and you guys give such great advice - and all on UA-cam for whenever I need to access it. Thanks you guys!

  • @ishikabhaduri959

  • @smuecke
    @smuecke 6 років тому +142

    There are more assimilation rules than the ones you talk about in this video, right? I noticed that sometimes single consonants ㄷㄱㅂㅈ are pronounced like double consonants ㄸㄲㅃㅉ or aspirated consonants ㅌㅋㅍㅊ in some situations, e.g. when ㅎ is involved. Could you talk about that in a future video while you are at pronunciation?

    • @jeff__w
      @jeff__w 6 років тому +28

      Yeah, it’s a really good point. There’s _tensification_ (e.g., 학교 is pronounced [학꾜]) and _aspiration_ (e.g., 좋다 is pronounced as [조타]) and lots of others. It would be good if TTMIK did a little series involving them, since they come up all the time.

    • @talktomeinkorean
      @talktomeinkorean  6 років тому +46

      Yes, there are much more. We just mentioned some ones that are less obvious in this video :)

    • @smuecke
      @smuecke 6 років тому +6

      Well, to me 좋다 > 조타 is not very obvious 😅 so a follow-up video would be immensely helpful!

    • @anikabhuta1326
      @anikabhuta1326 4 роки тому +2

      @@smuecke I think that one comes from the 'h' (sorry no hangul keyboard) batchim rules

    • @cephalosjr.1835
      @cephalosjr.1835 4 роки тому

      Jeff W All obstruents become tense after syllable-final merged /p/, /t/, and /k/.
      Not sure about aspiration, though.
      There’s also h-deletion following nasals (/an.ha/ -> [a.na]) and some other changes.

    @Vic-kz6ds 6 років тому +6

    I kinda always said ‘합니다’ and ‘감사합니다’ and ‘입니다’ and so on with an ‘ㅁ’ than a ‘ㅂ’. I think it’s because when I watch something in korean I sometimes repeat how they say it. (I actually watch a lot in korean) But this was actually really helpful and I learned some new things.
    And it’s funny to think about that I said these things naturally. I’m actually now a little proud of myself about my progress in learning korean. 😄

    I am SO incredibly excited! I'm starting my Bachelor's in Linguistics in a month and will have a Korean beginner's course as a part of it. I watched Crash Course Linguistics on youtube and it explained this phenomenon. As soon as you presented the issue in the beginning of the video the consonants M and B and the word "assimilation" in the title in the video clicked for me! I am just so excited I "predicted" what this will be and also SO EXCITED to study the basics of Linguistics _alongside_ beginner Korean! Well, I three weeks until the start, so I'll have a bit of a head start with Korean, but still. These bits are so amazing. I am so excited for how the nittu gritty of Linguistics will change how I learn a nee language from now on. I AM SO EXCITED!

    oh yeah, and thanks for pointing out an example in English too! Most languages have sound changes that don't make sense to non-native speakers, and people might not realize this about their native language and then come across it in Korean or another language and feel confused, when really it's not uncommon. For example, "don't you" can somehow turn into "don't cha", and in German "haben wir" can turn into something like "hamma", "gehen wir" can turn into "gehma", etc. lol

    Honestly I am just getting started learning Korean, and learning consonant assimilation is a bit tricky and a bit hard to memorize all the rules when it comes to a said word, but honestly I’m actually glad, because the examples he gave us, like originally spelled were hard to read like it originally was shown but when consonant assimilation appeared it was easier to be said.
