거센소리와 된소리

Korean double consonants ㄲ ㄸ ㅃ ㅆ ㅉ, aspirated vs tense
한글 읽기 · 7분

Korean splits consonants three ways where English has two. This is the one place English speakers need real practice.

How to feel the difference

Hold a slip of paper in front of your mouth.

Aspirated (ㅋㅌㅍㅊ), the paper jumps. Big puff.

Tense (ㄲㄸㅃㅆㅉ), the paper does not move at all. Throat tight, sound clipped.
