@shortstories Watch out I found out today that they changed korean course few days ago.
I thought i was retard and accidently skipped section when I got from simple things to complex sentences and words that were not in the course where I learned child, ant, fox, key, newspaper and student.
Found out later on reddit that they made changes to the course

👿 🧐 🤔 🤬
@shortstories Probably will reset the course and will start over because now it is so fucking confusing for me.
And some people say they changed chinese too but I did one yesterday and it looked normal to me.
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
@shortstories I had problems with letter ㄹ why it was sometimes pronaunced as L and other times R and they gave 0 tips later I saw another video where they talk about it.
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
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
@Stahesh
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
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
@Stahesh
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
