hate to do the um ackshully meme

but ㅅ has a softer 's' pronounciation whereas ㅆ has a more excentuated SS sound where you move air with the bottom and top of your teeth put together when spoken

for the actual words themselves 살 is like the fat/skin of something and 쌀 is rice, def don't want to mix up the two🤗

i still dont hear the difference. its been over a decade

and im not sure why this is an 'um actually' since that's literally the point of the meme, bruthm! 😜
