What is the difference in pronunciation btwn ㅈ and ㅊ ? They sound the same in this word.

[Potato691604]

ㅊ is a little harsher sounding. ㅉ often sounds very close to ㅈ and ㅊ, but the articulation is much shorter. It's kind of hard to hear the difference a lot of times if you're not used to hearing it or you aren't looking out for it specifically.

[Alexgimse]

in romanization the ㅈ is "j" and ㅊ is "ch", but I have a hard time hearing the difference as well.

[Patrick_DAg]

For the purpose of learning it may help to think of ㅈ as a "j" sound and ㅊ as "ch".

[LUI5B_9]

So, think of ㅈ as a mix of 'ch' and 'y', try to pronounce "chyellow" and you would get it, ㅊ is 'Ch' alone
