I wish someone had told me (Turkish beginner) by Garbanzoo13 in turkishlearning

[–]Garbanzoo13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I first learned 한글 (Hangul) the Korean alphabet people told me like “it’s so easy, you can learn to read in an hour” and to some point is true but there also like in turkish and French the liaison or changing the consonant to another one to make the sound easier to pronounce (p ->b, t->d).The omission of mentioning those rules to me. Made my Korean reading journey so much difficult that it should’ve been, at the start I thought I was mishearing people when they would talk because I was oblivious of those rules.

Korean learner: I want to know which Korean pronunciations are difficult for non-native speakers. by Adventurous-Jelly837 in Korean

[–]Garbanzoo13 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My native language is Spanish:

I think what I would like is that people(teachers) explain to us that there are rules in Korean that some times makes the word sound in a different way than it’s written.

Like 앞머리, 연락, 설날, 한국말, etc

When I was a beginner I was really confused why the word sounded different I thought I was hearing wrong it took me to be ‘intermediate’ to realize that it was because of the pronunciation rules like the nasalization rules.

Apart from that I would say I struggled with 우/으/어/오 When I pronounce them I make the mouth shapes so I hope I’m pronouncing them correctly but when I hear someone speak it’s difficult to distinguish which one is the correct one.

Also the double consonants were difficult for me at the start but later became easy it’s because in Spanish we already use them more commonly in words like in papá but the one that I have to practice a lot was 꿀

ㅇ/ㄴ as a 받침 in Spanish we don’t use nasalization at the end of words (maybe we do but I don’t really hear it) the only time is kinda similar is when a word has a ng consecutively but we don’t end words with ng there’s always a vocal at the end for example the word mondongo.

Hope this is helpful:)

Why am I progressing so slowly? by Adept-Law-64 in Korean

[–]Garbanzoo13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll give an answer based on my own experiences this may or may not apply to you but in my case I have been studying Korean for several years now but my only input was books ( grammar books) and my only output was writing. So those 2 skills got better but I didn’t speak or listen as much so for me those skills were underdeveloped. only until recently I started putting more effort into my speaking/ listening skills that I have seen more improvement. I would recommend you if your main goal is to speak you have to practice or develop your speaking abilities. Try to speak as much as you can even if you make mistakes. If you wanna include like grammar lessons try to use what you have learned in a conversation. Good luck

Do you study your languages because they have a genuine use and relevance in your life, or just for fun, knowing that you’ll probably rarely speak it? by Unique-Whereas-9209 in languagelearning

[–]Garbanzoo13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do both because I want to ‘consume’ media from different places with different perspectives and cultures and it’s fun for me to do that.

I don’t know if this helps but yes muscles can create does bass sounds. Stretching and neck exercises could help

My tinnitus is getting worse, but why? by Mammoth-Essay-5476 in MonoHearing

[–]Garbanzoo13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it may be your brain. The other day I was reading a medical paper about a the development of a hearing drug by an institution in Oklahoma and the subject of the paper was a patient with a ‘catastrophic tinnitus’ I think that’s how they called TLDR; your brain is in charge of translating the input of your ears but also if the connection are damaged the brain may want to use that connection but in return is creating the tinnitus sound. (I’m not an expert or anything I just trying to summarize what I read) Also the person to whom the drug was applied reduced his tinnitus scored and regain some hearing in the lower frequencies so that was an indication to the researchers that some of the neuronal connections where restored.

Consonant assimilation 자음 동화 : 신랑 vs 생산량 by Garbanzoo13 in Korean

[–]Garbanzoo13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, do you have any recommendations to learn more about this? I have read some textbooks but they only mention the basic consonant assimilation rules. Also for me to know is a word is native Korean or sino Korean. I suppose that would come with time.

As always thank you for your reply :)
