ㅗ and ㅓ
I'm learning Korean and these two vowels throw me off a bit. When listening, it can be hard to tell them apart.

ㅗ Sounds more like 'o' as in 'so', right?
ㅓWhat is the best way to get theㅓ sound right?

Thanks,
Hannah

Answer

ㅗ is more like the "o" in hope (short, not drawn out like it is in "so")
I find ㅓ sounds like the "aw" in saw, law, etc.

Answer

1. pronounce 'ㅏ'
2. keep the lips the way they are, and try to pronounce 'ㅗ'

Answer

Also 어 has a little more of a nasal sound.

Answer

That's a great help.  
Thank you!

Answer

'ㅓ' sounds like
'u' in  (nut / nun / but / hut / up / under / number)
