The following consonants in English can be represented by a single Korean consonant that is sometimes pronounced like one and sometimes like the other

B b & P p can be interchanged

R r and L l can be interchanged

S s and T t can be interchanged

D d and T t can be interchanged

G g and K k can be interchanged

The consonants V v and F f do not exist in Korean The F Flakes in frosted flakes uses an H and the V v in video uses a B b

I wrote each letter twice upper case & lower case

There is at least 1 exception to what I said and that is the silent consonant that is shaped like a circle

It is silent at the start of a syllable but an ng sound at the end of a syllable

Maybe the end of the previous syllable might spilloveor and change pronounciation when the silent syllable is the next syllable?

When you listen remember each consonant can be pronounced two ways & you can guess the consonant to some degree from a list

Just imagine an Asian accent speaking English

Each of the letters has a name

The first part of the name is how it is pronounced at the start of a tripartate syllable and the second part is how it is pronounced at the end

The letter name is pronounced something like the English word Real but with different vowels

So I believe that at the start of a tripartate syllable it is usually an R but at the end of the syllable it is usually an L

however if there is another syllable from the same word before or after it that might change

If you buy or illegally download "You speak Korean"

It has a section talking about the spillover rule

It might be somewhere before page 60

Each consonant usualky has two different ways to pronounce it depending on if it is the first or last consonant in a tripartate syllable and if that syllable is followed by another syllable and what the next syllable is

You speak Korean is out of print but I legally purchased the first three volumes on amazon and PDFs were listed online free

R when it is the first part of the syllable as in Sa Rang or love

L when it is at the end of the syllable as in Sal Da or live at a location

This is my guess

I remember those two specific words and Koreans telling me it is a R in one and a L in the other

I am the closest to completing Haitian Kreyol Kreole I just hope they did not change the whole thing, I am no where near close to conpleting the other languages except Navajo which I finished multiple times. I am also learning Korean as a Chinese speaker and reseting that would be a nuissance because the lessons usually take longer than Korean or Chinese lessons in English

Some people reset languages after completing them to do them again so at least you will get more practice

The other thing is Duolingo beginner level Korean for English speakers had everything super formal polite like you were talking to a stranger that is older than you in a higher position of authority or social status than you. But if you learned English as a Korean speaker they made the Korean super informal like a parent talking to their child.

I believe that the closest they do to deal with the location of an object relative to the speaker or listener was to use the word was "this" or "that" or "my" or "yours" but they did not include a third option like "over there"

Also the Korean course had a problem with anything involving the definite article "the" and the indefinite articles "a" or "an" none of which exist in Korean. There is also no "he" vs "she" or "her" vs "him" in Korean because Korean pronouns have no gender.

@Stahesh

Thank you for letting me know. Just so you know the Duolingo Korean course seemed to be equivelent to multiple semesters at a University and it was very difficult already.

They got some things wrong I think in regards to some Korean words that are very specific and refer to an object that is either next to the speaker, next to the listener or far away from both the speaker and the listener, because we do not have this in English the meaning is extremely specific & was not translated
