Ok, here's another place I'm having trouble. With Korean as my third language (though, come this thursday, I will learn how to make superlatives, meaning I will officially know more Korean than French), I'm used to how it has a difference between the aspirated and non-aspirated p sounds, as well as k, t, ch. The similar consanant sounds b, g, d, and j, all have no aspirated form. These last five are very hard to aspirate. But they do have aspirated forms in Hindi. It is very hard for me to try to make the difference, without my mouth going into Korean mode and turning them into a p/k/t/ch, respectively. I hope that made sense. Wasabi might know what I mean, or anyone who has tried to learn hangul.
Basically, I can't make the aspirated g/b/d/j very easily. I might have found a language that will kick my butt finally.
Funnily enough, the restroflex consanants aren't to hard, they just slow me down a bit when I read romanised Hindi.
Also sumit, awesome site. Many thanks my friend!
