I've got a problem with the pronunciation of the letter ㄴ(n)
Hello :D I've just started learning korean and I've learned lots of verbs, adjectives, past, present and so on... But when I was listening to a podcast, a doubt came to me: I know ㄴ is pronounced as an N or at least it's similar to an N, but listening to that podcast I'm sure I heard the word 누구 (nugu) being pronounced as dugu. I know when it comes to pronounciation it's difficult to solve a question by writing, so i wanted to know if you could send me a video from anywhere it doesn't matter the language it is, the only thing i want to understand is why 누구 sounded as dugu :c thanks in advance :)

Its actually the "n" sound. It sounds like "d" because the word was spoken too fast making it seem like it was pronounced dugu instead of nugu. :)

It is very boring for me as well. I could not understand why all three ㄴ in 나는 sounded like N, but the same person pronounced 눈부 (according to a transcript) as [dunbu]. So, if you do not know that the beginning ㄷ never sounds [d], it becomes easily to misrecognise the word as 둔부 )).
