Why do you write the r/l sign in both the first and second letter? Is it supposed to be a kind of double consonant?
This is what usually confuses those who have just started interacting with the Korean alphabet. A number of letters in the Korean alphabet can be converted into a different letter and it occurs when the letter is placed at the end of the syllable. That's why for example, 박 is seen as 'bag' but the letter g is at the end, turning it into the letter k, and this will be pronounced in English as 'Park' (last name for a few known people like Jimin of BTS, Korean actor Seojoon, Seonghwa of ATEEZ) I'll put a list: ㅂ (b) - can turn into 'p' ㅈ (j), ㄷ (d), ㅅ (s), ㅊ (ch) - can turn into 't' ㄱ (g) - can turn into 'k' Also, ㅇ is a placeholder for words that start with a vowel, since a block should have AT LEAST one consonant and one vowel. When it's not being used as a placeholder and is put at the end of a syllable, it is pronounced as 'ng' like '방' in Bangtan Sonyeondan!
So far, these are the ones I know. Anyone is free to add more notes so that we can further help other people! I'm a Filipino and I really believe we should all have hospitality for those who are struggling! We can do this! Fighting!
It's not used in the Konglish form. Think of Konglish as it's own dialect. :)
Am I pronouncing the r/l sign in both of these words like "colla" or is the first r/l sign silent?
