Lesson Transcript

Do you know how to pronounce the batchim ㄺ(ㄺ) in Korean?
ㄺ (k)
ㄺ is never used at the beginning of a syllable. When used as a batchim at the end, the ㄹ(rieul) sound usually disappears, and it just sounds like ㄱ (k), a light, almost muted 'k' sound.
The sound is made at the back of the mouth, with the back of the tongue gently contacting the upper palate, like ㄱ (k).
However, there's an exception. If ㄺ is followed by ㄱ (giyeok), the ㄹ (rieul) sound does not disappear.
Here are some examples.
