When it comes to English sounds, you've got pronunciation, intonation, and stress. English tends to rely more on intonation and stress to convey meaning, while Korean focuses more on precise pronunciation.

Here's an interesting thing about English—it isn't as strict about exact pronunciation. Why? It could have to do with how the sounds are made. In Korean, we often use the tip of the tongue, right? But in English, they use the back of the tongue more. It's harder to make clear sounds from that part of the mouth, so English speakers might rely more on their chest and diaphragm to support their speech.

This is just my theory, though—don't take it as a fact.

Basically, Korean and English use different parts of the body to produce sounds:

>Korean: Mainly uses the tip of the tongue and throat, less focus on the back of the tongue and diaphragm.
>English: Focuses more on the back of the tongue and diaphragm, less on the tongue tip and throat.

So, when speakers of one language try to learn the other, it's no surprise they have a hard time getting the sounds just right.
