In this lesson you will learn the 4 Aspirated (or Strong) consonants. All of them are related to consonants you already know from the first lesson on consonants which are called Plain Consonants.

Learning to distinguish between the Plain, Tense and Aspirated versions of the consonants is very difficult for non-native speakers so don't get frustrated if it you can't tell the difference right-away.
 

Aspirated Consonants

Visually distinguishing the Tense version of the consonants from the Plain version was pretty easy since it was just the plain one written twice. The Aspirated /plain pairs can be distinguished by an extra horizontal line (Except for ㅂ / ㅍ which doesn't have an extra line).

Chapter 3: Thank you for creating this to help people learn Korean :) I already know the very basics and can read Korean characters but I think the main question I hope will be answered is how to distinguish between "s" and "ss", double/stressed characters, etc.
