    - Korean Alphabet (3)
    - More syllable practice
    - Final consonants pronunciations

    Rule 1: Resyllabification
    If the following syllable after the syllable with a final consonant begins with an ㅇ, then the final consonant is moved to the next syllable in pronunciation, not in writing
    Ex. 한글은 [han-geul-eun] = 한그른 [han-geu-leun]

    - Double final consonants pronunciations
    One of final consonants silent unless followed by vowel, in which case last final consonant “transferred” to vowel syllable.
    Only in pronunciation, not in writing.

    - Others
  • 보기 [bo-gi] = example
  • 연습 [yeon-seup] = practice
  • 여름 방학 [yeo-reum bang-hak] = summer vacation
  • 봄비 [bom-bi] = spring rain
  • - Pronunciation Rules
    - Final consonant pronunciations

    Rule 2: Syllable-Final Closure
    If the following syllable after the syllable with a final consonant doesn’t begin with an ㅇ, then the final consonant changes in pronunciation, not in writing.
    ㅂ, ㅍ => ㅂ
    ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ => ㄷ
    ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ => ㄱ
    Ex. 잎꽈 [ip-kkwa] => 입꽈 [ib-kkwa]

    Rule 3: Nasal Assimilation
    If the following syllable after the syllable with a final consonant begins with an ㄴ or an ㅁ , then the final consonant changes in pronunciation, not in writing
    ㅂ, ㅍ => ㅁ
    ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ => ㄴ
    ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ => ㅇ
    Ex. 있는데 [iss-neun-de] => 인는데 [in-neun-de]

    Rule 4: ㄴ to ㄹ Assimilation
    When ㄹ and ㄴ come together, the ㄴ is usually replaced by the ㄹ sound. When is followed by the vowel i or the semivowel y (such as 야, 여, etc) in some compound words, another ㄹ is inserted between them.
    Ex. 칠년 [chil-nyeon] => 칠련 [chil-lyeon]
    Ex. 물약 [mul-yak] => 물략 [mul-lyak]

    Rule 5: Tensification
    When ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, ㄱ, ㅅ follows ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, ㄱ, ㅅ, the former becomes a corresponding tense consonant.
    Ex. 학생 [hak-saeng] => 학쌩 [hak-ssaeng]
    Ex. 몃번 [myeot-beon] => 몃뻔 [myeot-bbeon] (+ Rule 2)

    Rule 6: Aspiration and Weakening
    When ㅎ is followed or preceded by ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, ㄱ, it merges with the consonant to produce the corresponding aspirate consonant ㅍ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅋ.
    ㅎ + ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, ㄱ => ㅍ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅋ
    ㅂ, ㄷ, ㅈ, ㄱ + ㅎ => ㅍ, ㅌ, ㅊ, ㅋ
    Ex. 좋고 [joh-go] => 조코 [jo-ko]
    Between two vowels, ㅎ tends to become silent in casual speech.
    Ex. 좋아요 [joh-a-yo] => 조아요 [jo-a-yo]
    Ex. 말한다 [mal-han-da] => 마란다 [ma-lan-da]

    Rule 7: Double Consonant Reduction
    The second of the two final consonants is carried over to the next syllable if the next syllable doesn’t have an initial consonant. However, one of the two final consonants (usually the second final consonant, but there are exceptions) becomes silent at the end of a word or before a consonant.
    Ex. 값이 [kabs-i] => 갑시 [kab-shi]
    Ex. 값 [kabt] => 갑 [kab]
    Ex. 값도 [kabt-do] => 갑또 [kab-ddo] (+ Rule 5)

    Rule 8: Palatalization
    When a word ending in ㄷ orㅌ is followed by a suffix beginning with the vowel i or the semivowel y (whether ㅎ intervenes or not), the ㄷ and ㅌ are pronounced ㅈ and ㅊ , respectively.
    Ex. 닫혀요 [dat-hyeo-yo] =>다처요 [da-cheo-yo]
    Ex. 불이다 [bul-i-da] => 부치다 [bu-chi-da]

    Rule 9: Place Assimilation
    In casual speech, ㄷ is optionally pronounced ㅂ before ㅂ or ㅃ and as ㄱ before ㄱ or ㄲ. Similarly, ㄴ is optionally pronounced ㅁ before ㅂ, ㅃ, or ㅁ and ㅇ before ㄱ or ㄲ.
    Ex. ?뼝 [kkot-bbyeong] => 꼽뼝 [kkop-bbyeong]
    Ex. 갇꼬 [kkat-kko] => 각꼬 [kak-kko]
    Ex. 한미 [han-mi] => 함미 [ham-mi]
    Ex. 한강 [han-kang] => 항강 [hang-kang]
