3. Reading practice

Practice 1 — Linking

Move the final consonant to the next block. Do not pause between the blocks.

text
집에
ji-be
→ at home

음악
eu-mak
→ music

읽어요
il-geo-yo
→ I read

한국어
han-gu-geo
→ Korean language

Rule 2.1 applies. In 집에, the final ㅂ links to 에 and sounds like "be".

Practice 2 — Nasalization

Let the final sound turn into a nasal sound before ㄴ or ㅁ.

→ thank you

학년

먹는
meong-neun

Rule 2.2 applies. The final ㄱ becomes ㅇ in 학년, 먹는 and 국물, and ㅂ becomes ㅁ in 합니다.

Practice 3 — ㅎ and tensing

Listen for the strong ㅋ, ㅌ and ㅍ. Say the tense sounds in 학교 harder, but write them plainly.

Practice 4 — Palatalization and ㄹ

Say these slowly first, then at normal speed.

굳이
