Pronunciation 101 Dear Italki Notebook (and to all of you reading this), I can't seem to grasp the difference between these letters: ㄱ - ㅋ - ㄲ ㄷ - ㅌ - ㄸ ㅂ - ㅍ - ㅃ(hard) ㅈ - ㅊ - ㅉ(hardest) From my own understanding; ㄱ - ㄷ - ㅂ (slight aspiration) ㅋ - ㅌ - ㅍ (strong aspiration) ㄲ - ㄸ - ㅃ (no aspiration) Goal: 1. Have somebody confirm this. 2. Practice. ♥레이첼

Your understanding is correct^^ But you just have to practice listening and speaking (with feedback!!!) Don't think too hard about it. There's a slight pause before double consonants and they sound higher in pitch. They're also harsher, not allowing any air out.
