Barun Pronunciation Trial

The Barun Pronunciation application is the latest addition to the Hangul Master series, developed in collaboration with the National Institute of the Korean Language. It offers users an opportunity to hear accurate pronunciations of the Korean language from professional announcers.

Through this app, users can practice pronouncing frequently used but often confused words such as "교과서" (textbook), "안간힘" (desperation), "김밥" (Korean rice roll), and "효과" (effect). While individuals typically search dictionaries for correct pronunciations of English words and strive for sophistication in their articulation, many neglect the significance of proper Korean pronunciation. In fact, a considerable number of people are unaware that there exists a standard for Korean pronunciation.

Regardless of whether one is preparing for a national language exam or an announcer's interview, mastering correct pronunciation remains essential. Proper pronunciation not only facilitates accurate communication but also aids in acquiring a natural tone and voice quality. Additionally, understanding the principles and spelling rules underlying the phonetic Korean script enhances one’s linguistic capabilities.

Barun Pronunciation is an educational app designed to help users learn the correct pronunciation of common words that often lead to confusion through engaging quizzes. Each question includes an explanation of standard pronunciation, making it easy to grasp the principles and rules governing Korean articulation. Furthermore, users can repeatedly listen to precise pronunciations recorded by both current and former announcers, reinforcing their learning experience. Mistakes and key questions are compiled separately for focused review.
