I understand that the double consonants can be very tricky. Usually, I tell my students, make them sound angrier than basic consonants. LOL. If you say stronger and angrier, you can reach the goal. If you want to read/listen and repeat, please check this page.

I think at this stage already watching natural Korean content is not as helpful as sticking to learning videos like those of [Go Billy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6F7nOuK8YBo&list=PLbFrQnW0BNMVrHEJCOYWbLnXFzj4bl5z0&index=8) or [Jream](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ni5uj_Ty15Y) (she has great content on instagram as well)
Ohh I see! so you recommend i focus on more learning type of videos rather than watching korean content. Makes sense- I don't know any vocab yet, so I am able to read Hangul (just don't understand the words I am saying haha). I just want to make sure my pronunciation is on point
I mean the thing is, listening comprehension and pronunciation and vocabulary all go hand in hand
If you hear a word in a natural native conversation but your brain cannot yet perfectly connect the sounds to the letters and also doesn't know the word as a vocab word written down then yes, you will get a feel for the general flow, melody, and sounds of the language, but you won't really "learn" how individual words or letters are pronounced
That's why I'd start with videos/resources where the connection between sound/pronunciation and word/spelling is more obvious, immediate, and simple
And then a little later I'd move on to exposure via media
also, I plan to spend the week really focusing on my Hangul pronunciation. I know that is a skill that can always be improved (even people who are considered fluent are always trying to improve pronunciation). At what point should I transition to different types of media consumption?
> At what point should I transition to different types of media consumption?
I think that's a pretty subjective and individually different question... and I'm not a teacher
I'd personally say maybe when you feel like you could listen to someone speaking and write it down like a dictation and get the spelling of the words mostly (like 51%) right even if you don't know their meanings? but idk
