+ Show Spoiler + Everytime 말해봐 is said it's sounds marhaebwa but of course ㄹis little different from the English R. I can't come up with other sources immediately now but you can also try to put it on Google Translater. It can pronounce Korean pretty well. But to be fair ㄹ is pretty tricky. | ||

If you accept that they elide the h so it's basically 말애요, it would be really peculiar if they pronounced this mal-ae. | ||

but the sound should be closer to an l than r | ||

As far as I know, the ㅎ can get omitted, making it basically the same as "말애", which is pronounced as "마래", making the ㄹ more r-sounding (but not actually an r-sound of course, just less of a L sound as it otherwise would be). However, if the person you're talking to actually pronunciates or talks slowly, then it should sound exactly how it's spelled. If you're learning the language, just learn the spelled way, then learn what letters you can swallow/omit when talking fast from just interaction and practice. | ||

Don't try to represent Korean sounds with English letters. ㄹ sounds similar to L and it sounds similar to R, and it isn't quite like either letter. If you pronounce it Mar-Hae-Yo or if you pronounce it Mal-Hae-Yo... ...you still won't get the exact pronunciation. Which is fine. It's not like you'll properly pronounce ㄱ, ㄴ, or any other letter. There are subtle differences. None of this matters, if you say Mar-Hae-Yo or if you say Mal-Hae-Yo, I'll still understand you. | ||

Now, to my American English ear, the word 뭐 sounds almost like muh or even buh when spoken by some Koreans. I think this goes for many words starting with the ㅁ consonant. Just something to keep in mind, especially when trying to transcribe overheard Korean with thick accents. | ||

Now, to my American English ear, the word 뭐 sounds almost like muh or even buh when spoken by some Koreans. I think this goes for many words starting with the ㅁ consonant. Just something to keep in mind, especially when trying to transcribe overheard Korean with thick accents. 뭐 often sounds like 머 (muh) and in casual online chatting, sometimes people will actually write 머 or 모 (mo) when asking their friends what they're up to... ie. 머해? 모해? Kind of like how English speakers will often intentionally misspell words... ie. Yoooo wutcha dewin Hearing ㅝ as ㅓ isn't just you - a lot of people pronounce it that way. If you hear ㅁ(m) as ㅂ(b) though that's probably going to be an issue. I don't think I've ever heard those two pronounced the same way. | ||

Simple guide: 1. Learn to pronounce the letter, which is basically a mix of R and L. 2. Listen to koreans saying specific words and try to say it the same way 3. Realize after a few months/years that you're automatically making it sound more R-y or L-y as needed. | ||
