쌍자음
The last five consonants you’ll need to memorize are called double consonants. They are formed when a single consonant is literally doubled to make a new sound. In this case, the sound is a “hard” sound, which is caused by tensing the muscles of the throat or tongue.
The five double consonants are:
| Consonant | Name | Pronunciation | Basic Sound | Example | Form |
| ㄲ | 쌍기역 | ssang-kiyoek | k | s[k]ill | Tense |
| ㄸ | 쌍디귿 | ssang-digeut | t | s[t]eam | Tense |
| ㅃ | 쌍비읍 | ssang-bieup | p | s[p]oon | Tense |
| ㅆ | 쌍시옷 | ssang-siot | ss | [s]un | Tense |
| ㅉ | 쌍지읒 | ssang-jieut | jj | mid[g]et | Tense |
