ABSTRACT

This article studies difficult Korean consonants, in particular, stops, liquid, and geminate consonants to English native people who are learning Korean. In section Ⅱ, the authors scrutinize the discrepancies in perception and production of Korean stops, liquid and geminate sounds between English speakers learning English and native Koreans by means of the analyses of the experiments’ results. The results of the experiments claim that orthography, morphemes, phonological rules as well as sounds themselves are all important and that teachers teaching Korean sounds to foreigners should consider all the relevant factors in teaching Korean sounds. Section Ⅲ is an important section because it gives us several tips of how to teach Korean sounds and phonological processes to English speaking people learning Korean.
