Is ㄹ pronounced as L or R?

This is probably one of the most common questions that beginners ask when learning 한글. Just like every beginner learners, I went through this as well which is why I decided to study pronunciation rules too. I created this post to help clear up any confusion. When ㄹ is located at the beginning of a word, it sounds more like an R. Example: 라디오 (ra-di-o), 레슨 (re-seun), 로맨틱 (ro-man-tik) When ㄹ is located between two vowels, it sounds like an R. Example: 다리 (da-ri), 사랑 (sa-rang), 어렵다 (eo-ryeob-dda), 모르다 (mo-reu-da), 노력 (no-ryeok), 매력 (mae-ryeok) When ㄹ is located at the end of a word, it’s pronounced more like an L. Example: 딸 (ddal), 아들 (a-deul), 월 (weol), 달 (dal), 칼 (khal), 연필 (yeon-pil), 교실 (gyo-sil) When ㄹ is followed by a consonant or followed by another ㄹ, it sounds like L. Example: 딸기 (ddal-gi), 힘들다 (him-deul-da), 몰라 (mol-la), 살자 (sal-ja), 고릴라 (go-ril-la) When ㄹ comes after any consonant except ㄴ, ㄹ is pronounced as N. Example: 생리 (saeng-ni), 국립 (gung-nip), 능력 (neung-nyeok) When ㄹ co...

Dramas to watch in Korean

1. “Itaewon Class” (이태원 클라쓰) Watch it on: Netflix Park Sae-ro-yi, who has just started going to a new high school, intervenes when he notices Jang Geun-won, the wealthy son of his father’s employer, bullying another student. This sets off a wild chain of unforeseen events involving death, prison, a new restaurant opening, and romance. As you might guess from the name, “Itaewon Class” takes place in the Seoul neighborhood of Itaewon, which is known for its multi-cultural, international, and generally open atmosphere. The show is notable for featuring a more diverse grouping in its main cast than is usual for a Korean drama, including a biracial character and a transgender character. Park Sae-ro-yi opens a bar-restaurant in Itaewon, so you’ll hear some language in the show related to food and the restaurant business, but as a learning tool, “Itaewon Class” might be best for picking up smaller bits of everyday language. 2. “My ID Is Gangnam Beauty” (내 아이디는 강남미인) Watch it on: Viki | DVD ...

General Rules of Verb Conjugation in Korean

→ Action verbs and Descriptive verbs In English, words are like “pretty,” “big,” and “important” are categorized as adjectives, whereas words like “to add,” “to jump,” “to study” are categorized as verbs. However, most Korean equivalents of English adjectives are originally in the infinitive form and are treated like verbs, therefore they must be conjugated to be used in the “modifier” format, which works similarly to English adjectives. For example, “비싸다” is a descriptive verb (adjective in the infinitive form) that would translate to “to be expensive.” To use it as an adjective, you need to conjugate it to the adjective form, 비싼 (present tense), 비쌀 (future tense), or 비쌌던 (past tense). In English, this kind of difference is expressed through tense change of the “be” verb, but in Korean, the conjugation of the verb itself can contain the role of the “be” verb. Examples 크다 = to be big (descriptive verb) 큰 = big (base adjective form) 크다 = to grow (action verb) 큰 = that which has grown; ...
