Try https://forvo.com/languages/ko/ for pronunciation, helps me a lot since the pronunciations on duolingo are often plain wrong!
Like other consonants, ㅅ has a different pronunciation when it is a final consonant than when it is an initial consonant. Its default final consonant pronunciation is ㄷ. This sound is romanized as "t", but should be pronounced as a stop with no airflow after the tongue has touched the top of the mouth. There are some cases where the pronunciation changes further:
-
When the ㅅis followed by a vowel, the pronunciation pairs the consonant with the vowel.
-
When ㅅ is followed by a nasal (ㄴ, ㅁ), like other ㄷ-sounding final consonants, its pronunciation changes to ㄴ.
-
There are some exceptions that arise due to a common contraction like 맛있다 and 맛없다.
Here are some examples with the verb 웃다, which means "to smile, laugh".
-
The citation form 웃다 is pronounced as 'ut-da'.
-
The casual form 웃어요 is pronounced as 'u-seo-yo'.
-
The adjective modifer form 웃는 is pronounced as 'un-neun'.
