the m in mother p(b) as the p in pin or the b in book* s as the s in speech ng as the ng in king ch(j) as the j in John* ch’ as the ch in church k’ as the k in kite t’ as the t in tank p’ as the p in pump h as the h in high

      *The “correct” pronunciation of five of these consonants (k, t, r, p and ch) is very subtle. To the ears of native English speakers, the k sound is closer to g, the t sound is closer to d, the r is closer to l, the p is closer to b and the ch is best represented by the j sound.

      Koreans who have become fluent in English say there are some sounds in the Korean language that simply cannot be rendered into English phonetics. Fortunately, as with English and other languages, Korean spoken with an “accent” is still understandable.

      There are also five “double consonants” (kk, tt, pp, ss and tch):

kk	as the k in sky or in jack
tt	as the t in stay
pp	as the p in spy
ss	as the ss in essential
tch	as the t in tzar

      It is important to stress the pronunciation of consonants at the beginning of words. It is especially important to “hit” the double consonants hard. I have made attempts to account for the double consonants and other features of the language in the phonetics provided for each word and sentence in the book.
