| When I listen to Korean it sounds like it has a lot of "stops" when compared to English. Am I right or wrong about this? |

| They use a lot of stop consonants, like [p], [t], and [k], often replacing labiodental consonents, like [f] with these. They don't use any glottal (like the i in Hawaii) or uvular stops (like the [q] in Qatar) as far as I can tell. |
