good to see some comments. i found the �� sound a little tricky until i watched a korean showing me how to say it. she had a kind of smile on her face and jutted her lower jaw forward. since then i got it. i really am a beginner. i don't know how much of that stuff is explored, watching mouth position. my director was saying there's a style called 'shadow teaching' where the students look only at at your mouth and say things directly after you as you speak. i.e. word after word, not sentence after sentence. i'm not sure it would be effective, but its an interesting idea. my students were also saying that the difference between �� and �� is that you open your mouth a little wider, but that it's not too important.
the real tricky thing for me is not individual sounds, but a string of fast vowels in a sentence �� and �� can get mixed up.
as a music major, or sound designer, i expected to pick up quickly. nawt.
