A rough reading aid, not exact pronunciation. Hyphens separate syllables. Listen first, then try with hints hidden. “eu” is said with unrounded lips; “uh” only approximates ㅓ. Doubled consonants are tense, not extra syllables. Do not add a vowel after a final consonant.
Read, compare and repeat
Practice Korean final stop sounds in 국, 밥 and 옷. Learn why different written final consonants can share the same ending sound when a word is said alone.
Pronunciation guides are approximate. Focus on the Korean audio as you learn.
