During the process in which Chinese students learning Korean, they have difficulty in mastering the pronunciation of consonants and the variation in pronunciation according to phonological rules. This paper is aimed to help the learners master and learn the pronunciation of Korean consonants well by focusing on the difficulty they meet in learning the consonants and setting the hierarchy of difficulty of Korean consonants through experiments like recording.
Korean, consonant, allophones, recording experiment, five-Likert Scales, hierarchy of difficulty
