Descubre todo esto y más junto a Yaneth y a mí, donde no solo aprenderás todo lo que estos países tienen en común, sino que también aprenderás palabras muy coloquiales que solemos decir en México y que te serán de gran ayuda para sonar tan nativo como nosotros lo hacemos.

Hello~
I'm Grace and your native Korean teacher.

How's your sentence reading going? ^^
Please make a habit of reading your Korean sentences.
I uploaded this Audio File so you can practice basic Korean pronunciation daily.

Look at this.
First ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅㅇ(X) ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ 자음 Consonants
Middle ㅏㅑㅓㅕㅗ ㅛ ㅜ ㅠ ㅡ ㅣ ㅐㅒㅔㅖㅘ ㅙ ㅚ ㅝ ㅞ ㅟ ㅢ 모음 Vowels
End ㄱ ㄴ ㄷ ㄹ ㅁ ㅂ ㅅㅇ ㅈ ㅊ ㅋ ㅌ ㅍ ㅎ ㄲ ㅆ 받침 Final consonatns

Remember, English is made from the back of your throat, but 한글 is mainly made from your mouth.
The sound comes from the front.
In other words, you use entirely different muscles when you talk.
So you have to practice it over and over again to become natural.

In Korean, the shape of the lips of the vowels should be correct,
And you have to understand the difference between the pronunciation of consonants in the initial consonants and consonants in the final consonants.

The basics are the most important.
Before reading Korean sentences with Korean grammar in Korean conversation sentences.
Read the basic pronunciation over and over again.

I uploaded a video.
