+# Lesson 4 — Basic Consonants I (ㄱ, ㄴ, ㄷ, ㄹ, ㅁ)
+
+## Introduction
+
+Korean has 14 basic consonants. In this lesson, you will learn the first five. Unlike English consonants, Korean consonants can appear at both the beginning and end of a syllable — and their pronunciation may change depending on position.
+

+
+## Pronunciation Guide
+
+| Character | Name | Initial Sound | Final Sound | Notes |
+|-----------|------|--------------|-------------|-------|
+| ㄱ | 기역 (giyeok) | g (like "go") | k (stopped) | Unaspirated at start |
+| ㄴ | 니은 (nieun) | n | n | Same in all positions |
+| ㄷ | 디귿 (digeut) | d (like "do") | t (stopped) | Unaspirated at start |
+| ㄹ | 리을 (rieul) | r (flap) | l | Like Spanish "r" at start; "l" at end |
+| ㅁ | 미음 (mieum) | m | m | Same in all positions |
+
+**Key point about ㄱ and ㄷ:** Korean consonants at the start of a syllable are "unaspirated" — unlike English "g" and "d," they are produced with less breath. They sound slightly between "g/k" and "d/t."
+
+**Key point about ㄹ:** At the start of a syllable, ㄹ makes a flap "r" sound (like the "d" in "butter" in American English). At the end of a syllable, it sounds like "l."
+
+## Syllable Examples
+
+| Syllable | Letters | Pronunciation | Meaning |
+|----------|---------|---------------|---------|
+| 가 | ㄱ + ㅏ | ga | go (verb stem) |
+| 나 | ㄴ + ㅏ | na | I/me (informal) |
+| 다 | ㄷ + ㅏ | da | all |
+| 라 | ㄹ + ㅏ | ra/la | (syllable in names) |
+| 마 | ㅁ + ㅏ | ma | mom (casual) |
+
+## Common Words
+
+| Korean | Romanization | Meaning |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| 나라 | na-ra | country |
+| 나무 | na-mu | tree |
+| 고구마 | go-gu-ma | sweet potato |
+| 머리 | meo-ri | head / hair |
+| 다리 | da-ri | leg / bridge |
+
+## Consonant Name Patterns
+
+Korean consonant names follow a pattern: **base-sound + vowel + base-sound** (or just descriptive):
+
+| Consonant | Name | Reading |
+|-----------|------|---------|
+| ㄱ | 기역 | gi-yeok |
+| ㄴ | 니은 | ni-eun |
+| ㄷ | 디귿 | di-geut |
+| ㄹ | 리을 | ri-eul |
+| ㅁ | 미음 | mi-eum |
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Position matters**: ㄱ sounds like "g" at the start, "k" at the end
+2. **ㄹ is versatile**: "r" at the start (flap), "l" at the end of a syllable
+3. **ㄴ and ㅁ are consistent**: Same sound in all positions
+4. **No aspiration**: Korean g/d at syllable starts have less breath than English
+
+## Practice Recognition
+
+:::exercise{id="ko-alph-04-recognition" type="matching" title="Match Consonants to Names" skill="character-recognition" tests="giyeok,nieun,digeut,rieul,mieum" objectiveId="obj-ko-alph-04-recognize"}
+
+**Question:** Match each consonant to its Korean name
+
+- ㄱ
+- ㄴ
+- ㄷ
+- ㄹ
+- ㅁ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ㄱ = 기역 (giyeok)
+- ㄴ = 니은 (nieun)
+- ㄷ = 디귿 (digeut)
+- ㄹ = 리을 (rieul)
+- ㅁ = 미음 (mieum)
+
+**Explanation:** Korean consonant names are standardized. Learning the names helps you communicate about letters and look them up in dictionaries, which are organized by consonant order.

+
+**Question:** What is the initial (syllable-start) sound for each consonant?
+
+- ㄱ initial = ___
+- ㄴ initial = ___
+- ㄷ initial = ___
+- ㄹ initial = ___
+- ㅁ initial = ___
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ㄱ = g (unaspirated, like "go")
+- ㄴ = n
+- ㄷ = d (unaspirated, like "do")
+- ㄹ = r (flap, like Spanish "r")
+- ㅁ = m
+
+**Explanation:** At the start of a syllable, ㄱ and ㄷ are voiced and unaspirated. ㄴ and ㅁ are nasal consonants that sound the same everywhere. ㄹ is a liquid consonant with two sounds depending on position.

+
+## Pronunciation Guide
+
+| Character | Name | Initial Sound | Final Sound | Notes |
+|-----------|------|--------------|-------------|-------|
+| ㅂ | 비읍 (bieup) | b (unaspirated) | p (stopped) | Like "b" in "boat" |
+| ㅅ | 시옷 (siot) | s | t (stopped) | Like "sh" before i/y; "s" otherwise |
+| ㅇ | 이응 (ieung) | silent | ng | Silent at start; "ng" at end |
+| ㅈ | 지읒 (jieut) | j | t (stopped) | Like "j" in "jump" |
+| ㅊ | 치읓 (chieut) | ch (aspirated) | t (stopped) | Like "ch" in "child" — with strong breath |
+
+**Key distinction — ㅈ vs ㅊ:** Both sound like "j/ch" but ㅊ is aspirated — produced with a strong puff of air. This aspiration is the key difference between many Korean consonant pairs.
+
+**ㅅ before i or y sounds:** When ㅅ comes before ㅣ, ㅑ, ㅕ, ㅛ, or ㅠ, it sounds more like "sh." For example: 시 (si) → sounds like "shi."
+
+## Syllable Examples
+
+| Syllable | Letters | Pronunciation | Meaning |
+|----------|---------|---------------|---------|
+| 바 | ㅂ + ㅏ | ba | (syllable in many words) |
+| 사 | ㅅ + ㅏ | sa | four (in Sino-Korean) |
+| 아 | ㅇ + ㅏ | a | ah! / child (in compounds) |
+| 자 | ㅈ + ㅏ | ja | ruler (measuring) |
+| 차 | ㅊ + ㅏ | cha | tea / car |
+
+## Common Words
+
+| Korean | Romanization | Meaning |
+|--------|-------------|---------|
+| 바나나 | ba-na-na | banana |
+| 사과 | sa-gwa | apple |
+| 자동차 | ja-dong-cha | automobile |
+| 주스 | ju-seu | juice |
+| 초콜릿 | cho-kol-rit | chocolate |
+
+## ㅇ — The Dual-Purpose Consonant
+
+ㅇ (ieung) is unique in Korean:
+
+| Position | Role | Example |
+|----------|------|---------|
+| **Start** of syllable | Silent placeholder | 아 = a, 이 = i |
+| **End** of syllable | Makes "ng" sound | 강 = gang, 영 = yeong |
+
+This is why 아 (a) and 강 (gang) both use ㅇ — but in different positions.
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **ㅂ and ㅈ are unaspirated**: Slightly between English "b/p" and "j/ch"
+2. **ㅊ is aspirated**: Strong puff of air — like English "ch" in "child"
+3. **ㅇ has two jobs**: Silent at start; "ng" sound at end of syllable
+4. **ㅅ + i/y = "sh"**: 시 sounds like "shi," not "si"
+
+## Practice Recognition

+
+**Question:** Match each consonant to its Korean name
+
+- ㅂ
+- ㅅ
+- ㅇ
+- ㅈ
+- ㅊ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ㅂ = 비읍 (bieup)
+- ㅅ = 시옷 (siot)
+- ㅇ = 이응 (ieung)
+- ㅈ = 지읒 (jieut)
+- ㅊ = 치읓 (chieut)
+
+**Explanation:** Notice that ㅊ looks like ㅈ with an extra stroke on top. This visual pattern corresponds to the phonetic distinction: the extra stroke symbolizes the extra breath (aspiration) in pronunciation.

+**Question:** In the word 영어 (yeong-eo, meaning "English language"), how many times does ㅇ appear and what is its role each time?
+
+**Options:**
+- Once, silent
+- Twice: first as "ng," second as silent
+- Twice: first as silent, second as "ng"
+- Once, as "ng"
+
+**Answer:** 2
+
+**Explanation:** 영 = ㅇ(silent)+ㅕ+ㅇ(ng). The first ㅇ in 영 is in the initial position (silent), while the second ㅇ is in the final position (ng sound). Then 어 = ㅇ(silent)+ㅓ — silent again at the start of 어.

+## Introduction
+
+You have learned 10 basic consonants. In this lesson, you will complete the set of 14. These last four consonants include three aspirated consonants (ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ) and the fricative ㅎ.
+
+After this lesson, you will know all 14 basic consonants and can read most Korean text when combined with the 10 vowels.

+
+## The Three Consonant Series
+
+Korean consonants come in three series. You now know all of them:
+
+| Plain | Aspirated | Tense (Double) |
+|-------|----------|----------------|
+| ㄱ (g) | ㅋ (k) | ㄲ (kk) |
+| ㄷ (d) | ㅌ (t) | ㄸ (tt) |
+| ㅂ (b) | ㅍ (p) | ㅃ (pp) |
+| ㅈ (j) | ㅊ (ch) | ㅉ (jj) |
+| ㅅ (s) | — | ㅆ (ss) |
+
+**Plain** consonants: light, no strong breath
+**Aspirated** consonants: strong puff of air (like English k, t, p)
+**Tense** consonants: tightened throat, no breath (you will learn these in Lesson 7)
+
+## Pronunciation Guide
+
+| Character | Name | Sound | Like English |
+|-----------|------|-------|-------------|
+| ㅋ | 키읔 (kieuk) | k (aspirated) | "k" in "kite" — strong breath |
+| ㅌ | 티읕 (tieut) | t (aspirated) | "t" in "top" — strong breath |
+| ㅍ | 피읖 (pieup) | p (aspirated) | "p" in "pie" — strong breath |
+| ㅎ | 히읗 (hieut) | h | "h" in "hello" |
+
+**Testing aspiration:** Hold a piece of paper in front of your mouth. When saying ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, the paper should move from the air flow. For plain ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, it should barely move.
+
+## Visual Patterns — Aspirated Consonants
+
+The aspirated consonants look like their plain counterparts with an extra horizontal stroke:
+
+| Plain | Aspirated | Visual change |
+|-------|----------|---------------|
+| ㄱ | ㅋ | Extra horizontal stroke on top |
+| ㄷ | ㅌ | Extra horizontal stroke added |
+| ㅂ | ㅍ | Extra stroke and wider shape |
+| ㅈ | ㅊ | Extra stroke on top |
+
+## Common Words

+| 12 | ㅌ | 티읕 | t |
+| 13 | ㅍ | 피읖 | p |
+| 14 | ㅎ | 히읗 | h |
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Aspirated = strong breath**: ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅊ all require a strong puff of air
+2. **Visual rule**: Extra stroke on a plain consonant = aspirated version
+3. **ㅎ is unique**: The only fricative in this group — always "h" like in "hello"
+4. **14 basic consonants complete**: Combined with 10 vowels, you can now read the full basic Hangul chart

+- ㅋ = k (aspirated, like "kite")
+- ㅌ = t (aspirated, like "top")
+- ㅍ = p (aspirated, like "pie")
+- ㅎ = h (like "hello")
+
+**Explanation:** ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ are the aspirated counterparts of ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ. They are produced with a noticeable burst of breath. ㅎ is independently a fricative — it has no plain/tense counterpart.

+- ㅍ pairs with ___
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ㅋ pairs with ㄱ
+- ㅌ pairs with ㄷ
+- ㅍ pairs with ㅂ
+
+**Explanation:** Each aspirated consonant has an extra stroke compared to its plain counterpart. This visual relationship mirrors the phonetic relationship: more stroke = more air. The difference in aspiration is a key feature of Korean phonology.

+# Lesson 7 — Double Consonants (ㄲ, ㄸ, ㅃ, ㅆ, ㅉ)
+
+## Introduction
+
+Korean has a three-way distinction among consonants: **plain**, **aspirated**, and **tense** (also called double or fortis). You have learned plain (ㄱ, ㄷ, ㅂ, ㅅ, ㅈ) and aspirated (ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅊ) consonants. Now you will learn the five tense consonants — written by doubling the plain consonant symbol.
+
+The Korean word for double consonants is **쌍자음** (ssang-jaeum), meaning "twin consonants."

+
+:::
+
+## How Tense Consonants Sound
+
+Tense consonants are pronounced with a **tightened glottis** (throat) and **no aspiration** (no puff of air). They sound sharper and more "tense" than either plain or aspirated consonants.
+
+The closest English approximation is the sound of consonants after "s": the "p" in "spy," the "t" in "stop," the "k" in "sky." These English consonants have no aspiration — and that is similar to tense Korean consonants, though Korean tense consonants have additional glottal tension.
+
+## Pronunciation Comparison
+
+| Plain | Aspirated | Tense | Comparison |
+|-------|----------|-------|------------|
+| ㄱ (g) | ㅋ (k) | ㄲ (kk) | g vs k (air) vs kk (tense) |
+| ㄷ (d) | ㅌ (t) | ㄸ (tt) | d vs t (air) vs tt (tense) |
+| ㅂ (b) | ㅍ (p) | ㅃ (pp) | b vs p (air) vs pp (tense) |
+| ㅅ (s) | — | ㅆ (ss) | s vs ss (tense) |
+| ㅈ (j) | ㅊ (ch) | ㅉ (jj) | j vs ch (air) vs jj (tense) |
+
+**Note:** ㅅ has no aspirated counterpart — it jumps directly from plain to tense.
+
+## Common Words with Double Consonants

+## Key Insight — Meaning Distinctions
+
+Tense vs plain consonants can completely change the meaning of a word:
+
+| Word | Pronunciation | Meaning |
+|------|---------------|---------|
+| 달 | dal | moon |
+| 딸 | ttal | daughter |
+| 발 | bal | foot |
+| 빨 | ppal | to suck |
+| 살 | sal | flesh / age |
+| 쌀 | ssal | rice (uncooked) |
+
+## Key Points
+
+1. **Doubled symbol = tense sound**: ㄲ is two ㄱ symbols — this visually represents the doubled effort
+2. **No puff of air**: Tense consonants are unaspirated, unlike aspirated (ㅋ, ㅌ, ㅍ, ㅊ)
+3. **Glottal tension**: The throat tightens, making the sound feel "pushed"
+4. **Meaning changes**: Tense vs plain vs aspirated create distinct words (달/딸, 발/빨, 살/쌀)

+
+**Question:** Match each double consonant to its romanization
+
+- ㄲ
+- ㄸ
+- ㅃ
+- ㅆ
+- ㅉ
+
+**Answer:**
+
+- ㄲ = kk
+- ㄸ = tt
+- ㅃ = pp
+- ㅆ = ss
+- ㅉ = jj
+
+**Explanation:** Each double consonant is romanized by doubling the letter of the plain counterpart. This helps show that the sound is "doubled" or intensified compared to the plain version.

+
+**Question:** Which consonant series does ㄲ belong to?
+
+**Options:**
+- Plain (무기음)
+- Aspirated (거센소리)
+- Tense/Double (된소리)
+- Fricative
+
+**Answer:** 3
+
+**Explanation:** ㄲ is a tense (double) consonant — 된소리 (doensori) in Korean. It is written by doubling ㄱ and pronounced with glottal tension and no aspiration. The three-way distinction (plain/aspirated/tense) is one of the key features that makes Korean phonology unique among world languages.
