話說天下大勢，分久必合，合久必分
20d ago
I've started learning Korean recently, and I've run into trouble. Unfortunately, my teacher, being a native Korean speaker, has a hard time sympathizing with my issues, and has given me the simple advice of "practice more." I'm not saying the advice is incorrect or not valuable, but it's not very helpful when I don't even understand why I'm making the mistakes I am.
I'm having trouble distinguishing consonant sounds in Korean. Multiple consonants all sound similar. Not even between normal and double consonants, but different consonants that are supposed to sound different all sound the same to me. In fact, sometimes I have trouble hearing the consonant being pronounced at all, especially at the beginning of words. I can, with difficulty, read characters out loud. But when listening to characters being spoken, I cannot write them with sufficient accuracy. This is a problem that I've talked to multiple Korean speakers with and it seems that it's something that they intuitively understand to the point where they have trouble understanding my problem. Is this something anyone else has struggled with, and what are some things that I can do to help?

Personally being a dumb MBA I feel like I can perfectly segment pnl between subprime borrowers and rich people. If I make money on subprime and lose money on rich people I can just shutdown the rich people business and deploy more money to poor people. So the academia people are most likely wrong based on simple logic?
In your imaginary scenario, would you be lending money to every single homeless person you see?
"뭐하고 있어요?" was the correct answer, and What I heard was "어호이새여"
"지금 좀 바빠요" was the correct answer, and what I heard was "치감전파패요"
This was purely a sounds to writing test, and I don't know enough words in Korean to know what the characters meant, meaning I didn't have the context of whether the characters made sense together or not. I literally questioned my sanity after seeing the correct answers. Apparently in the first example, I missed an entire character being pronounced.
