Lesson #1. Sounds of Consonants

Here, I'd like to introduce the Korean consonants sounds. 
Basically, Hangeul consists of basic 10 vowels and 14 consonants. If we include some extended formats of consonants and vowels such as doubled vowels and doubled consonants, there are more. However, in the first lesson, I want focus on the simple ones and whenever it comes more, I'm going to add one by one.

So, the below lists are 14 consonants in Korean.  

Korean /sounds/(English Meaning)

1) ㄱ/g,k/ sounds like Google's G. When the ㄱ comes as the first consonant of the letter, G is the most similar sound. But, when the ㄱ is the third consonant of the letter, the sounds is also similar to weaken 'K' sounds. So, I use G when ㄱ is the first consonant, and K when ㄱ is the third consonant.

e.g.
a. 고기 /Go Gi/ (meat or fish) --> both ㄱ is the first consonant of each letter.
b.

note. The one exception is that when the vowel sound comes right after ㄱ which is the third consonant of previous letter, it sounds more like G rather than K.
e.g. 악어 /A'g'Eo/ (an alligator) 

2) ㄴ/n/ sounds like Nation's N
3) ㄷ/d/ sounds like Drum's D

4) ㄹ/r,l/ : Actually, in Korean there is no R sound. So, even if I use R, the tongue touches the ceiling inside of the mouth.  The thing is that sometimes L sound is like double ㄹ.  I often use R when the first consonant of the letter is ㄹ, and use L when the third consonant of the letter is ㄹ
e.g.
a. 그림 /Geu 'R'im/ (drawing) --> when the first consonant of the letter is ㄹ. In the second letter, the first consonant is ㄹ.
b. 가을 /Gah Eu'l'/ (Autumn) --> The third consonant of the second letter is ㄹ. 

note. Sometimes, when the vowel sound comes right after ㄹ which is the third consonant of previous letter, it sounds more like weaken L, kind of R...

5) ㅁ/m/ sounds like Moon's M
6) ㅂ/b/ sounds like Bob's B
7) ㅅ/s/ sounds like Snap's S

8) ㅇ/ng/ doesn't have specific sound. In Korean, the letter never starts a vowel, so ㅇ is filling the consonant place in order to make the vowel sound. But, when ㅇ comes as third consonant in the letter, it makes /ng/ sound.
e.g.
a. 아기 /'A' Gi/ (a baby) ---> when the vowel sound starts the letter.
b. 가방 /Ga Ba'ng'/ (a bag) ---> when the ㅇ is the third consonant in the letter. In this case, ㅇ is the third consonant of the second letter.

9) ㅈ/j/ sounds like Jane's J
10) ㅊ/ch/ sounds like China's CH
11) ㅋ/k/ sounds like Key's K
12) ㅌ/t/ sounds like Table's T
13) ㅍ/p/ sounds like Pin's P
14) ㅎ/h/ sounds like Hen's H

** Practice**
Let's try to pronounce some words, focusing on the consonants.
학교 /HakGyo/ (school)
가다 /GaDa/ (go)
나라 /NaRa/ (a country, general term of commonwealth like France, Korea, Canada and so on)
오이/O I/ (cucumber)
자동차 /JaDongCha/ (a car)
