Learn Korean in 30 Minutes

Consonants: ㅁ

Fifth letter! ㅁ is for Map!! It doesn't get easier than that!!

Some people have difficulty differentiating ㅁ and ㅂ when they heard them because native Koreans can sometimes pronounce the ㅁ harshly, making it sound like a ㅂ. If you've ever watched a drama you've experienced this. "Mwo?!" (뭐?! which means "what?!") is spelled with an ㅁ but sometimes sounds round and b-like. During the intro for Boy In Luv by BTS, they chant "wae nae MaMeul heundeuneun geondae?" (왜 내 맘을 흔드는 건대? which means "why does my heart shake?"), but the ㅁ's in MaMeul (맘 or 마음which means heart, + object particle) sound like b's!! Niga Mweondae? (니가 뭔대? which means "who are you?", but literally asks "what are you?") is another example.

Don't forget to comment, like, add to your reading list, spread the word!! I answer questions. If this gets out enough I might make one for learning actual Korean!!
