This is an introduction to Korean pronunciation for students at all
levels of proficiency. Beginners should find the information and
practice they need to cross the threshold of intelligibility in
Korean, while more advanced students will have the opportunity to
fine-tune their pronunciation and improve their comprehension. This
book focuses on the most challenging features of Korean
pronunciation. Careful attention is paid to the way in which a
sound's pronunciation can be modified in different contexts. The
first part of the text consists of an overview and chapters on
vowel and consonant sounds in Korean, adjustment processes that
modify speech sounds in different positions within words and
phrases, and the role of prosody in expressing meaning and emotion.
The practice exercises that follow are paired with the various
contrasts and adjustment processes discussed earlier. These
exercises recorded on an accompanying CD by two native speakers
(male and female) from Seoul, give students systematic, focused
exposure to natural colloquial speech that represents the way
Korean is actually spoken in the real world.
