Doubled Consonants
Tense consonants and double batchim.
Tense consonants are sharper versions of consonants you already know!
Pronounce them with a tight throat, and no puff of air.
ㄱ
ㄲ
ㄷ
ㄸ
ㅂ
ㅃ
ㅅ
ㅆ
ㅈ
ㅉ
Some syllables have two batchim consonants at the bottom!
CVC
Both are pronounced. The second one slides over and starts the next syllable.
일거
업서
안자
At the end of a word, or before another consonant, only one of the bottom consonants is pronounced!
갑
닥
삼
Don't worry about learning the rules. You'll learn them from real words!
