    hate to do the um ackshully meme

    but ㅅ has a softer ‘s’ pronounciation whereas ㅆ has a more excentuated SS sound where you move air with the bottom and top of your teeth put together when spoken

    for the actual words themselves 살 is like the fat/skin of something and 쌀 is rice, def don’t want to mix up the two🤗
