I dont understand how double consonants at the end of a syllable work when to they are different consonants. Such as with the first syllable of the second word in this sentence.
Here is a link to a lesson that will help you. Scroll down to where it says "The Pronunciation of Syllables with Four Letters":
Most of the time you only pronounce the second one it seems, unless the verb stem is followed by a vowel. 읽습니다 sound like "eek-seum-ni-dah" where as 읽어요 sounds like "eel-geo-yo"
앉다 is an exception to that, everyone says "ahn" and then for 앉아 "ahn-jah"
Certain words, the last consonant actually goes with the next syllable.
I said 'The man sits down', but missed the question. I imagine either that or 'The man is sitting' should be added as an alternative translation, but I'm not sure if only one of those is correct.
