🎙️ 1. Let’s Listen – Can You Hear the Difference?

First, let’s listen to these three words:

자다 (to sleep)
차다 (to kick)
짜다 (to be salty)

Now, let’s pronounce them slowly one more time:
자–다 / 차–다 / 짜–다

Can you hear the difference?

The key difference lies in the intensity of the sound and the movement of the mouth.

🧠 2. The Pronunciation Principle – What’s Going On?

Let’s break it down:

ㅈ (j) – Voiced sound
Your lips and tongue lightly touch, and then the sound is released softly.
You don’t blow out air forcefully.
👉 Examples: jada (to sleep), juiceu (juice), jihacheol (subway)

ㅊ (ch) – Aspirated sound
The tongue blocks the airflow, and then strong air bursts out as the sound is released.
👉 Examples: chada (to kick), chima (skirt), chokollit (chocolate)

ㅉ (jj) – Tense (fortis) sound
It’s much tighter and stronger than ㅈ.
You need to slightly tense your vocal cords and use more pressure with your lips and tongue.
👉 Examples: jjada (salty), jjok (side), jjigae (stew)

📌 In short:
ㅈ – Normal
ㅊ – Strong and breathy
ㅉ – Very tense and tight

💡 3. Pronunciation Practice – Repeat After Me

Let’s try these sets of words together. Repeat after me:

자 / 차 / 짜
조 / 초 / 쪼
줄 / 출 / 쭐

The more you practice,
the more your mouth and ears will get used to the differences!

If you’d like, I can also provide an audio version of this script, or help you record practice drills. Let me know!

美丽的四季

En los últimos años la tecnología ha avanzado mucho, muchísimo. Estos avances han dado lugar a conceptos que han llegado para quedarse y con los que probablemente vamos a necesitar familiarizarnos para poder entender el futuro. O al menos cosas de él, porque creo que el futuro siempre continúa avanzando.

En el episodio de hoy te menciono algunos conceptos que supuestamente van a ser necesarios para entender el futuro.

Después de escucharlo, no te olvides de pasarte por mi Instagram y decirme:

-qué piensas de este episodio,

-si conocías los conceptos que menciono y si realmente piensas que son tan necesarios,

-y si conoces algún otro concepto que crees que también será necesario.
