Korean~Pronounciation help!!! Kso, I bought a book about basic and useful Korean phrases and expressions. and one of the first pages is "pronounciation" I always thought my Korean pronounciation was pretty accurate, but after reading this I'm starting to have doubts ^^;; The books says: ~ᄅ+ᄂ = ᄅᄅ (It says the word "칠년" sounds like "칠련") ~ᄊ+ᄂ= ᄂᄂ(The word "있는" sounds like "인는") ~ᄀ+ᄆ= ᄋ ("중국말" sounds like "중궁말") ~When "ᄃ" is at the end of a sentence, and the next word starts with a vowel(ᄋ) it sounds like "ᄌ" ("해돋이" sounds like "해도지") And it says the sentence "몇시예요" sounds like "며쓰시예요." Is this true? I always thought "있는" sounded similar to "잍는" ^^;;;;;

Yeah, it's true. 있는, 잇는, 읻는(not valid), 잍는(not valid) are all pronounced as [인는]. 집, 짚 are pronounced as [집] 밥 먹어 - 밤 머거 한국말 - 한궁말 밟았어 - 발바써 옮았어 - 올마써 안 했어 - 아 내써 별난 사람 - 별란 사람 어떡해 - 어떠캐 손가락 - 송까락 외갓집 - 외가찝 앞집 - 압찝 윗옷 - 위돋 막막해 - 망마캐

That book seems to be helpful. You will get used to it. although, 몇시예요 --> 며씨예요 or 몄씨예요(There's no 몄 in our language) will be easier. ㅁㄴㄹㅇ makes soft(?) sounds. We have consonant assimilation. More ex) ~습니다 --> ~씀니다 ~합니다 --> ~함니다 합리적 --> 함리적 국민 --> 궁민 복리 --> 봉리

the book is right.. 있는 --> 인는 isn't it similar in english..? ㅆ+ㄴ --> ㄴㄴ T+ N --> NN ( want to --> wanna) one more things ㄱ + ㄱ ==> ㄱ ㄲ (학교 --> 학꾜) 된소리 되기
