According to PAM, categorization assimilation is happened at the very short period of learning. That’s why we need to know how Korean listen and comprehend Chinese sound when they haven’t learn Chinese. It is important to know the naive Korean’s perception to Chinese initial consonants. Because only after we know how they choose the category of the Chinese consonants, we might be able to presume how the Korean Chinese language learner construct Chinese consonants category in their cognitive system. If we know know how naive Korean choose the category of a certain Chinese consonant, and if we observe the Chinese language learner’s choice for consonant category we can compare the results and find out whether there are any differences. Then it might be more easy to deduce how Korean listen and comprehend Chinese consonant sounds or it is possible for us to assume there will be difficulty to learn that sounds or not. However, in Korea, there are almost no research has been done to the naive Korean who doesn’t have Chinese Experience. In this article, we will review the previous phonetic researches of Korean and Chinese consonant. Then, we carry on the perceptual experiment to 100 Koreans and we analyze what characteristic Korean have when categorizing Chinese consonants. As a result, this paper proved two facts related to the previous research. First, there are difficulties in choosing a category of ‘c, ch, l, r, sh, z, zh’, which can lead to listening comprehension difficulties even at the learning stage. Second, unlike to the result of previous studies, Koreans perceived the Chinese plosive as a fortis regardless of Tones.
