💻Let’s speak together!
🎨Priciple
When the final consonants are ‘ㄱ’, ‘ㅋ’, or ‘ㄲ’, the sound is realized as [ㄱ]. and the rest of them are the same.
The final consonants of ‘ㅂ’ or ‘ㅍ’ sound as [ㅂ].
Similarly, when the final consonants are ‘ㄷ’, ‘ㅌ’, ‘ㅎ’, ‘ㅅ’, ‘ㅆ’, ‘ㅈ’, or ‘ㅊ’, you should pronounce them as [ㄷ].
🏐Writing Orders

Let’s try writing in the air with our index finger.
① 가 ➕ ㄱ = 각
② 어 ➕ ㅋ = 엌
③ 보 ➕ ㄲ = 볶

💢Be Careful!
① First, when pronouncing the final consonant ‘ㅂ’, like the final consonant ‘ㅁ’, you should close your lips while making the ‘ㅂ’ sound.
② Second, to realize the pronunciation of the final consonant ‘ㄱ’, the root of the tongue should block the throat.
③ Third, to realize the pronunciation of the final consonant ‘ㄷ’, you should keep your tongue attached to the roof of your mouth while pronouncing it.
🎁Neutralization(중화)
Neutralization refers to the phenomenon where different sounds change into the same sound in specific phonetic or phonemic environments. And this typically occurs at the end of a word or before a consonant.
- The sounds ‘ㄱ’, ‘ㅋ’, and ‘ㄲ’ people prounce are different in initial positions, such as ‘가’ (ga), ‘카’ (ka), and ‘까’ (kka).
However, when these sounds appear at the end of a word or before a consonant, they are pronounced uniformly as [ㄱ], as in ‘책’ [책], ‘부엌'[부억], and ‘밖’ [박]. This phenomenon is called consonant neutralization.
Similarly, ‘ㄷ’, ‘ㅌ’, ‘ㅅ’, ‘ㅆ’, ‘ㅈ’, and ‘ㅊ’ are realized as ‘ㄷ’ at the end of a word or before a consonant, while ‘ㅂ’ and ‘ㅍ’ are both realized as ‘ㅂ’. This is also due to consonant neutralization.
