Can You Hear ㄷ, ㅌ, and ㄸ? 👂 #korean

Can you actually hear the difference between ㄷ, ㅌ, and ㄸ? Many learners struggle with it. 👂

So here’s the trick I love breaking down (and one I started teaching on YouTube way before it caught on 😊):

✔️ㄷ → keep your pitch low and relaxed, no air.
✔️ㅌ → raise your pitch (when followed by a vowel) and push out a big puff of air. 💨
✔️ㄸ → build up pressure inside your mouth so it holds a little longer than other consonants, then release it like a little pop.

That‘s it.
Plain, aspirated, tense.

Just remember those three little moves and they stop blending together.
