📚 What are Korean double consonants?

Double consonants, also called tense consonants, are unique sounds in Korean that don’t exist in English. They’re stronger and tighter compared to single consonants.

Here’s the list:

• ㄲ (kk)

• ㄸ (tt)

• ㅃ (pp)

• ㅆ (ss)

• ㅉ (jj)

---

🗣 How to pronounce them

✔ ㄲ (kk) → stronger than ㄱ (g/k), almost like a sharp “k” sound

✔ ㄸ (tt) → tense version of ㄷ (d/t), more forceful

✔ ㅃ (pp) → tense version of ㅂ (b/p), pop your lips!

✔ ㅆ (ss) → stronger than ㅅ (s), sharp “s” sound

✔ ㅉ (jj) → tense version of ㅈ (j), think of it as a double “j”

• ㄸ → 따라가다 (ttaragada) = to follow
