Korean has two types of syllables:

  • Consonant+Vowel (CV) or
  • Consonant+Vowel+Consonant (CVC).

This section addresses the CV combinations.

  • It is assumed you have carefully studied the previous section: CV Syllables. There you will have looked at initial consonants in combination with vowels. The V could be simple vowels or vowel combinations.
  • This section represents the only other combination there is, the CVC combination. It uses all that knowledge about the CV pronunciation, and now addresses the final consonant with CVC combinations. This will complete the coverage of pronunciation of Korean pronunciation.

The CVC final consonant endings fall in 5 groups

Group 0 - Emptyㄸ ㅃ ㅉ
Group 1 - Kㄱ ㄲ ㅋ
Group 2 - Pㅂ ㅍ
Group 3 - Tㄷ ㅌ ㅅ ㅆ ㅊ ㅈ
Group 4 - Stableㅇ ㄴ ㄹ ㅁ
Group 5 - Unstableㅎ
