Reading And Typing HangulQuestion 1 of 9

A learner sees a store sign reading '출구' and another reading '입구.' They want to identify which sign marks the EXIT and which marks the ENTRANCE by decoding the Hangul. After sounding out the syllables, which analysis is correct?

'출구' is the EXIT and '입구' is the ENTRANCE — 출 is decoded as ㅊ+ㅜ+ㄹ and 입 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅣ+ㅂ, but the meanings are determined by the final consonants ㄹ and ㅂ, not by the syllable roots.
'출구' is the ENTRANCE and '입구' is the EXIT — 출 sounds like 'chul,' which resembles the English word 'in,' while 입 sounds like 'ip,' which resembles 'out' in phonetic association.
'출구' is the EXIT and '입구' is the ENTRANCE — 출 is decoded as ㅊ+ㅜ+ㄹ and 입 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅣ+ㅂ, and both words share the suffix 구 (口), meaning 'gate/opening,' with 출 (出) meaning 'to exit' and 입 (入) meaning 'to enter.'
'출구' is the EXIT and '입구' is the ENTRANCE — 출 is decoded as ㅈ+ㅜ+ㄹ and 입 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅏ+ㅂ, with 구 confirming both are types of doorways.

Question 1

A learner sees a store sign reading '출구' and another reading '입구.' They want to identify which sign marks the EXIT and which marks the ENTRANCE by decoding the Hangul. After sounding out the syllables, which analysis is correct?

  1. '출구' is the EXIT and '입구' is the ENTRANCE — 출 is decoded as ㅊ+ㅜ+ㄹ and 입 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅣ+ㅂ, but the meanings are determined by the final consonants ㄹ and ㅂ, not by the syllable roots.
  2. '출구' is the ENTRANCE and '입구' is the EXIT — 출 sounds like 'chul,' which resembles the English word 'in,' while 입 sounds like 'ip,' which resembles 'out' in phonetic association.
  3. '출구' is the EXIT and '입구' is the ENTRANCE — 출 is decoded as ㅊ+ㅜ+ㄹ and 입 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅣ+ㅂ, and both words share the suffix 구 (口), meaning 'gate/opening,' with 출 (出) meaning 'to exit' and 입 (入) meaning 'to enter.' (correct answer)
  4. '출구' is the EXIT and '입구' is the ENTRANCE — 출 is decoded as ㅈ+ㅜ+ㄹ and 입 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅏ+ㅂ, with 구 confirming both are types of doorways.
Explanation: When reading Korean signage, you need to combine two skills: accurate Hangul decoding and recognition of Sino-Korean root meanings. Signs like 출구 and 입구 are built from Chinese-origin morphemes, so understanding the parts unlocks the whole word. Each syllable in Hangul follows the pattern: initial consonant (초성) + vowel (중성) + optional final consonant (받침). So 출 breaks down as ㅊ (ch) + ㅜ (u) + ㄹ (l) = "chul," and 입 breaks down as ㅇ (silent initial) + ㅣ (i) + ㅂ (p) = "ip." Both words share 구 (구 = 口), meaning "gate" or "opening." The critical distinction lies in the first syllable: 출 comes from the Chinese character 出, meaning "to exit or go out," while 입 comes from 入, meaning "to enter or go in." Therefore, 출구 = EXIT and 입구 = ENTRANCE — making C the correct answer. A is wrong because it correctly decodes the syllables but falsely claims the final consonants ㄹ and ㅂ determine meaning. The meaning comes from the full syllable-morpheme (出/入), not isolated consonants. B is wrong on two levels: it reverses the meanings AND invents a phonetic resemblance to English that doesn't exist. Korean vocabulary isn't decoded through English sound association. D gets the meanings right but makes a decoding error — 출 starts with ㅊ, not ㅈ, and 입's vowel is ㅣ, not ㅏ. Accurate Hangul reading matters. A useful memory anchor: 출 (出) sounds like "chul" — think "check out" to remember it means exit.

Question 2

A student types the word '꽃' (flower) using a standard Korean keyboard — entering ㄲ, ㅗ, ㅊ — and then wants to type '꽃이' (flower + subject marker) by adding ㅇ and ㅣ. What does the display show as they complete typing, and which phonological process explains the pronunciation?

  1. The display shows '꽃이' and the pronunciation stays '꽃이' [kkot-i] — final consonants never change position in Korean when followed by a vowel, as each syllable block is always pronounced independently.
  2. The display shows '꽃이' and the pronunciation changes to '꼬치' [kkochi] — the final consonant ㅊ of 꽃 links to the following vowel-initial syllable, so ㅊ becomes the initial consonant of 이, demonstrating consonant resyllabification (연음). (correct answer)
  3. The display shows '꼬치' on screen and the pronunciation is [kkochi] — the keyboard automatically respells the word phonetically when a vowel-initial particle follows, changing the visual spelling to match pronunciation.
  4. The display shows '꽃이' and the pronunciation changes to '꼬시' [kkosi] — the final consonant ㅊ weakens to ㅅ before a vowel-initial particle, following the consonant weakening rule (약화) in Korean phonology.
Explanation: 한국어 키보드 입력과 음운 현상을 묻는 이 문제는 연음(resyllabification) 규칙을 이해하고 있는지 테스트합니다. 핵심 질문은 이것입니다: 받침(종성) 뒤에 모음으로 시작하는 음절이 올 때 발음이 어떻게 바뀌는가? 한국어에서 받침 뒤에 모음으로 시작하는 조사나 어미가 오면, 받침 자음이 다음 음절의 초성으로 이동하여 발음됩니다. '꽃' + '이'의 경우, ㅊ이 '이'의 초성으로 연결되어 **[꼬치]**로 발음됩니다. 이것이 바로 연음 현상입니다. 그러나 중요한 점은, 화면에 표시되는 철자는 여전히 **'꽃이'**로 유지된다는 것입니다. 한국어 맞춤법은 발음이 아닌 형태소를 기준으로 표기하기 때문입니다. 따라서 B가 정답입니다. A는 틀렸습니다. 받침이 뒤에 오는 모음 음절로 연음될 때 발음이 변하지 않는다는 주장은 사실이 아닙니다. 연음은 한국어의 가장 기본적인 음운 규칙 중 하나입니다. C는 매력적인 함정입니다. 발음은 [꼬치]가 맞지만, 화면 표기가 '꼬치'로 바뀐다는 것은 틀렸습니다. 키보드는 철자를 자동으로 발음 표기로 바꾸지 않습니다. D는 존재하지 않는 규칙을 제시합니다. ㅊ이 모음 앞에서 ㅅ으로 약화된다는 '약화' 규칙은 이 환경에 적용되지 않습니다. 학습 팁: 연음 문제에서는 항상 "표기"와 "발음"을 분리해서 생각하세요. 한국어 맞춤법은 형태를 보존하고, 발음은 연음 규칙을 따릅니다. 이 둘을 혼동하면 C 같은 함정에 빠집니다.

Question 3

While texting in Korean, a friend sends you '내일 봐요 ㅋㅋ 진짜요?ㅎㅎ'. You need to interpret both the message and the texting shorthand. What does this message most likely mean, and what do ㅋㅋ and ㅎㅎ represent?

  1. 'See you tomorrow, lol, really? haha' — ㅋㅋ represents laughing (like 'keke' or 'lol') and ㅎㅎ represents a lighter laugh or smile sound. (correct answer)
  2. 'See you tomorrow, ok ok, really? yes yes' — ㅋㅋ represents agreement and ㅎㅎ represents affirmation in casual texting.
  3. 'Let's meet tomorrow, wow wow, is that true? hmm hmm' — ㅋㅋ represents surprise and ㅎㅎ represents hesitation or uncertainty.
  4. 'See you tomorrow, ugh ugh, really? huh huh' — ㅋㅋ represents frustration and ㅎㅎ represents confusion in informal digital communication.
Explanation: When studying Korean digital communication, it helps to recognize that Korean texting slang often uses individual consonants (자음) to represent sounds associated with laughter or emotion — similar to how English speakers use "lol" or "haha." The consonant ㅋ makes a "k" sound, and when repeated as ㅋㅋ, it mimics the sound of laughing — like saying "kekeke" quickly. This is the Korean equivalent of "lol" or "hehe" in English texting. Similarly, ㅎ makes an "h" sound, and ㅎㅎ mimics a softer, breathy laugh — like "haha" — often conveying a lighter, friendlier tone than ㅋㅋ. So '내일 봐요 ㅋㅋ 진짜요? ㅎㅎ' translates naturally to "See you tomorrow, lol, really? haha" — making A the correct answer. B is incorrect because ㅋㅋ and ㅎㅎ have no function as expressions of agreement or affirmation. Confusing them with words like 네네 ("yes yes") reflects a misunderstanding of how consonant shorthand works. C is wrong because ㅋㅋ does not express surprise, and ㅎㅎ carries no sense of hesitation — these interpretations are invented without linguistic basis. D is incorrect because neither ㅋㅋ nor ㅎㅎ carries negative emotional weight like frustration or confusion; those feelings would be expressed very differently in Korean. A useful tip: in Korean texting, repeated consonants almost always represent sounds of emotion — particularly laughter. If you remember that ㅋ = "k" sound (laughter) and ㅎ = "h" sound (soft laugh), you'll confidently decode casual Korean messages every time.

Question 4

A learner reads a shop sign that appears to say '편의점' and tries to sound it out syllable by syllable as 'pyeon-ui-jeom.' A Korean speaker, however, pronounces this word differently. Which pronunciation does a native Korean speaker actually use for 편의점, and why?

  1. 'pyeo-ni-jeom' — the vowel ㅢ in 의 is commonly pronounced as ㅣ (i) when 의 appears in a non-initial syllable, so 편의점 is spoken as [펴니점] in standard Korean. (correct answer)
  2. 'pyeon-eui-jeom' — the vowel ㅢ always retains its full diphthong sound in every position, so each syllable is pronounced exactly as written regardless of position in the word.
  3. 'pyeon-e-jeom' — the vowel ㅢ is always reduced to the simple vowel ㅔ (e) in all positions, following the same rule that applies to the possessive particle 의.
  4. 'pyeon-wi-jeom' — the vowel ㅢ is pronounced as ㅜ+ㅣ (wi) whenever it appears after any initial consonant other than ㅇ inside a word.
Explanation: 한국어 발음 문제를 풀 때는 모음 ㅢ의 위치에 따른 발음 규칙을 떠올려야 합니다. ㅢ는 단어 내 위치에 따라 다르게 발음되며, 이 규칙을 모르면 표기 그대로 읽는 실수를 하게 됩니다. 표준 한국어 발음법에 따르면, ㅢ는 단어의 첫 번째 음절에서만 완전한 이중모음 [ㅢ]로 발음됩니다. 그러나 **두 번째 음절 이후(비첫음절)**에 올 때는 ㅣ[i]로 발음하는 것이 허용되며, 실제 원어민 화자들은 대부분 이렇게 발음합니다. '편의점'에서 '의'는 두 번째 음절이므로 ㅣ로 발음되어 [편이점], 즉 'pyeo-ni-jeom'처럼 들립니다. 따라서 A가 정답입니다. 오답을 살펴보면, B는 ㅢ가 모든 위치에서 항상 이중모음으로 유지된다고 주장하지만, 이는 실제 발음 규칙과 다릅니다. 원어민은 비첫음절의 ㅢ를 거의 이중모음으로 발음하지 않습니다. C는 ㅢ가 항상 ㅔ로 줄어든다고 하지만, ㅔ 발음은 소유격 조사 '의'(예: 나의 → 나에)에만 적용되는 별도의 규칙입니다. 일반 명사의 비첫음절 ㅢ에는 해당되지 않습니다. D는 ㅢ 앞에 자음이 오면 ㅜ+ㅣ[wi]로 발음된다고 하는데, 이 규칙은 존재하지 않으며 혼동을 일으키는 잘못된 설명입니다. 학습 팁: ㅢ의 발음은 세 가지 환경을 구분해서 외우세요: ①첫음절 → [ㅢ], ②비첫음절 → [ㅣ], ③소유격 조사 '의' → [ㅔ]. 이 세 경우를 확실히 구별하면 관련 문제를 정확히 풀 수 있습니다.

Question 5

A Korean learner wants to send a text message saying 'I'm tired ㅠㅠ' using the common Korean texting convention. They know that ㅠㅠ is used to express sadness or exhaustion. Which Hangul vowel shorthand correctly represents this emotion, and what does the shape of ㅠ visually suggest to Korean texters?

  1. ㅠ represents surprise — the downward strokes of ㅠ represent raised eyebrows, and it is interchangeable with ㅋㅋ in most texting contexts to show shock.
  2. ㅠ represents frustration — the horizontal line in ㅠ represents a furrowed brow, and the two strokes below it represent clenched teeth in Korean emoticon culture.
  3. ㅠ represents laughter — the shape of ㅠ resembles an upturned mouth, so Koreans use it the same way English speakers use 'lol' in casual digital messages.
  4. ㅠ represents crying — the two downward strokes of ㅠ visually resemble tears falling from eyes, making it an iconic symbol for sadness or exhaustion in Korean texting. (correct answer)
Explanation: When studying Korean digital communication, it helps to think visually — many Korean texting shortcuts are iconic, meaning their shape directly mirrors what they represent emotionally. The vowel ㅠ consists of one horizontal line with two vertical strokes hanging downward from it. If you imagine a face, those two downward lines look exactly like tears streaming down from eyes. This is why ㅠㅠ — doubling the character for emphasis — has become the universal Korean texting symbol for crying, sadness, or exhaustion. It functions similarly to 😢 in English digital communication. So D is correct: ㅠ represents crying, and its visual design is the direct reason for that meaning. Choice A is incorrect because ㅠ has nothing to do with surprise or raised eyebrows, and it is absolutely not interchangeable with ㅋㅋ. ㅋㅋ represents laughter (the consonant ㅋ mimics the "k" sound of giggling in Korean), so confusing these two would send a completely opposite emotional message. Choice B incorrectly invents a "furrowed brow and clenched teeth" interpretation that has no basis in Korean texting culture. This is a fabricated reading of the character's shape. Choice C is wrong because ㅠ does not resemble an upturned mouth — the strokes point downward, not upward. Upward curves would suggest smiling or laughter, but ㅠ's downward strokes signal the opposite. As a study tip, remember that Korean vowel shorthands are almost always visual metaphors — ask yourself what the shape looks like physically, and you'll usually decode the emotion correctly.

Question 6

A student reads the word '읽다' and attempts to pronounce it. They decode the syllables as 읽 (ilk) + 다 (da) and conclude the pronunciation is 'ilk-da.' A Korean teacher corrects them. What is the actual standard pronunciation of 읽다, and which rule explains it?

  1. 'ilk-da' is incorrect; the standard pronunciation is 'ilg-da' — when the double final consonant ㄺ (ㄹ+ㄱ) is followed by ㄷ, the ㄱ is pronounced and ㄹ is retained, but the ㄷ becomes ㄱ due to assimilation.
  2. 'ilk-da' is incorrect; the standard pronunciation is 'ilk-ta' — the final ㄱ of the double consonant ㄺ causes the following ㄷ to aspirate into ㅌ through aspiration assimilation.
  3. 'ilk-da' is incorrect; the standard pronunciation is 'il-da' — when the double final consonant ㄺ is followed by the consonant ㄷ, the ㄱ is dropped and only ㄹ is pronounced as the final consonant. (correct answer)
  4. 'ilk-da' is incorrect; the standard pronunciation is 'ik-da' — when the double final consonant ㄺ appears, the ㄹ is always silent and only ㄱ is pronounced as the 받침 before any following consonant.
Explanation: 한국어 받침 발음 규칙을 공부할 때, **겹받침(double final consonant)**이 나오면 항상 "다음에 오는 소리에 따라 어떤 자음이 살아남는가?"를 먼저 따져야 합니다. '읽다'의 받침은 ㄺ(ㄹ+ㄱ)입니다. 겹받침 뒤에 자음(ㄷ)이 올 때, 겹받침 중 하나만 발음될 수 있습니다. ㄺ의 경우, 뒤에 자음이 따라올 때 ㄱ이 탈락하고 ㄹ만 남습니다. 따라서 '읽다'는 [일다]로 발음됩니다. 이것이 정답 C입니다. 표준 발음법 제11항에 따르면, ㄺ은 자음 앞에서 ㄹ로 발음됩니다 — 단, '읽고'처럼 ㄱ 앞에서는 예외적으로 [ㄱ]이 살아남아 [일꼬]가 됩니다. 오답을 살펴보면, A는 ㄱ이 유성음화되어 [ㄱ]으로 발음된다고 하지만, 실제로는 ㄱ 자체가 탈락합니다. B는 격음화(aspiration) 규칙을 잘못 적용한 것입니다. 격음화는 ㅎ과 평음이 만날 때 일어나는데, 여기서는 ㅎ이 없습니다. D는 ㄺ에서 항상 ㄹ이 탈락한다고 주장하지만, 이는 사실과 반대입니다 — ㄹ이 살고 ㄱ이 탈락합니다(자음 앞에서). 학습 팁: ㄺ 겹받침은 "자음 앞 → ㄹ 살아남음 [일다], ㄱ 앞 → ㄱ 살아남음 [일꼬]"처럼 뒤에 오는 자음의 종류에 따라 다르게 적용됩니다. 이 예외 패턴을 꼭 암기해 두세요.

Question 7

You receive a Korean text message that reads: '지금 어디야? ㅇㅇ 알겠어 ㄱㄱ'. You need to interpret the consonant-only abbreviations ㅇㅇ and ㄱㄱ. Which interpretation is correct?

  1. ㅇㅇ means 'no/I don't know' (from 없어없어, expressing absence) and ㄱㄱ means 'okay okay' (from 괜찮아괜찮아), so the message means 'Where are you now? No, I don't know. Okay okay.'
  2. ㅇㅇ means 'yes/okay' (from 응응, an affirmative sound) and ㄱㄱ means 'go go' or 'let's go/hurry up' (from 고고 or 가자가자), so the message means 'Where are you now? Okay, I got it, let's go/go go.' (correct answer)
  3. ㅇㅇ means 'I see/I understand' (from 이해이해) and ㄱㄱ means 'call me' (from 걸어걸어, meaning to dial), so the message means 'Where are you now? I understand, call me.'
  4. ㅇㅇ means 'hurry up' (from 얼른얼른) and ㄱㄱ means 'good good' (from 굿굿, a Konglish borrowing), so the message means 'Where are you now? Hurry up, I got it, good good.'
Explanation: 한국어 텍스트 메시지에서 자음만으로 이루어진 줄임말은 현대 한국어 디지털 소통에서 매우 흔하게 사용됩니다. 이런 표현들은 원래 단어의 **초성(첫 자음)**만 남긴 형태로, 빠르게 타이핑하기 위해 만들어진 것입니다. 이 유형의 문제를 보면 각 자음이 어떤 소리 또는 단어의 첫 글자인지 떠올리는 것이 핵심입니다. 정답은 B입니다. ㅇㅇ는 '응응(eung-eung)'에서 온 표현으로, 한국어에서 '네' 또는 '알겠어'를 뜻하는 구어체 긍정 표현입니다. ㄱㄱ는 '고고(go go)' 또는 '가자가자'에서 온 표현으로, '출발하자' 또는 '빨리 가자'는 의미입니다. 따라서 전체 메시지는 '지금 어디야? 응응, 알겠어, 가자!'로 자연스럽게 해석됩니다. 오답을 살펴보면, A는 ㅇㅇ를 '없어없어'로 해석하는데, ㅇ은 '없'의 초성이 아니라 '응'의 초성이므로 틀렸습니다. C는 ㅇㅇ를 '이해이해'로 보지만, '이해'의 초성은 ㅇ+ㅎ이므로 ㅇㅇ만으로는 표현되지 않습니다. 또한 ㄱㄱ를 '걸어걸어'로 보는 것도 실제 사용과 맞지 않습니다. D는 ㅇㅇ를 '얼른얼른'으로 해석하는데, '얼른'의 초성은 ㅇ+ㄹ이므로 ㅇㅇ와 다릅니다. 학습 팁: 한국어 인터넷 줄임말을 공부할 때는 자주 쓰이는 세트(ㅇㅇ=응응, ㄱㄱ=고고, ㄴㄴ=노노, ㅋㅋ=크크)를 묶어서 암기하세요. 실제 맥락 속에서 반복해서 접하는 것이 가장 효과적입니다.

Question 8

You see a bathroom sign in Korea. One door reads '여' and the other reads '남'. A tourist who has just started learning Hangul sounds out '여' as 'yeo' and '남' as 'nam.' Which of the following correctly identifies what these signs mean AND demonstrates accurate Hangul decoding?

  1. '여' (yeo) means 'women/female' and '남' (nam) means 'men/male' — 여 is decoded as ㅇ(silent)+ㅕ and 남 is decoded as ㄴ+ㅓ+ㅁ.
  2. '여' (yeo) means 'men/male' and '남' (nam) means 'women/female' — 여 contains the vowel ㅕ which is associated with masculine words in Korean.
  3. '여' (yeo) means 'women/female' and '남' (nam) means 'men/male' — 여 is decoded as ㅇ+ㅛ and 남 is decoded as ㄴ+ㅏ+ㅂ.
  4. '여' (yeo) means 'women/female' and '남' (nam) means 'men/male' — 여 is decoded as ㅇ(silent)+ㅕ and 남 is decoded as ㄴ+ㅏ+ㅁ. (correct answer)
Explanation: When reading Hangul, every syllable block must be decoded accurately — both its meaning and its letter components. This question tests two things at once: Korean vocabulary for bathroom signs, and your ability to break down Hangul blocks correctly. In Korean, 여 (yeo) means "female/women" and 남 (nam) means "male/men." You'll see these on bathroom doors throughout Korea, so memorizing this pair is essential. Now let's look at how each syllable is actually built. 여 consists of the consonant ㅇ (which is silent when it appears at the start of a syllable block) plus the vowel ㅕ (yeo). Together: silent ㅇ + ㅕ = "yeo." 남 consists of the initial consonant ㄴ (n), the vowel ㅏ (a), and the final consonant (받침) ㅁ (m). Together: ㄴ + ㅏ + ㅁ = "nam." This makes D the correct answer — it has the right meanings AND the right decoding for both syllables. A gets the meanings right but incorrectly decodes 남 as ㄴ+ㅓ+ㅁ — the vowel should be ㅏ (a), not ㅓ (eo). That would produce "neom," not "nam." B reverses the meanings entirely — 여 means female, not male — and falsely claims ㅕ signals masculine words, which is not a rule in Korean. C gets the meanings right but decodes 여 as ㅇ+ㅛ (yo), not ㅕ (yeo), and decodes the final consonant of 남 as ㅂ instead of ㅁ — two errors in one answer. A useful tip: always double-check each component of a Hangul block separately — initial consonant, vowel, and final consonant — because distractors often swap similar-looking vowels like ㅏ/ㅓ or ㅕ/ㅛ.

Question 9

A student wants to type the syllable block for the sound 'gwon' (as in 권) on a Korean keyboard. They correctly identify the initial consonant ㄱ and the vowel ㅝ, but they are unsure about the final consonant. Which of the following correctly completes the syllable block 권?

  1. The final consonant is ㄴ, so the block is typed as ㄱ + ㅝ + ㄴ, producing 권. (correct answer)
  2. The final consonant is ㅇ, so the block is typed as ㄱ + ㅝ + ㅇ, producing 궝.
  3. The final consonant is ㄹ, so the block is typed as ㄱ + ㅝ + ㄹ, producing 궐.
  4. The final consonant is ㅁ, so the block is typed as ㄱ + ㅝ + ㅁ, producing 궘.
Explanation: When typing Korean syllable blocks, you need to correctly identify all three components: the initial consonant (초성), the vowel (중성), and the final consonant (종성). The key skill here is recognizing which final consonant produces the sound you hear at the end of the syllable. For the syllable 권, listen carefully to its ending sound — it closes with a clear "n" sound. In Korean, that "n" ending is represented by the consonant ㄴ. So the complete block is built by typing ㄱ (initial) + ㅝ (vowel) + ㄴ (final), which assembles into 권. This makes A the correct answer. Looking at the wrong choices helps clarify common confusion points. B suggests ㅇ as the final consonant, but ㅇ in the final position produces an "ng" sound (as in 강 or 공) — not an "n" sound. Typing ㄱ + ㅝ + ㅇ gives you 궝, which sounds like "gwong," not "gwon." C proposes ㄹ, which produces an "l/r" sound in the final position, giving 궐 ("gwol") — a completely different syllable. D suggests ㅁ, which creates an "m" sound at the end, producing 궘 ("gwom"), again not matching the target sound. A helpful study tip: when identifying final consonants, say the syllable out loud and focus only on how your mouth closes or stops at the end. ㄴ ends with your tongue touching the roof of your mouth near your teeth — the classic "n" position. Matching mouth movements to consonants will help you avoid mixing up similar-sounding finals like ㄴ, ㅇ, and ㅁ.
