korean tense (doubled) consonants

[hidden12345]

Are the tense consonants (ㄲㄸㅃㅆㅉ) in hangul produced with the same feeling in

your throat that you get if you really exaggerate the third tone in

standard mandarin, and the very apex of the dip?

(the only way i can describe that feeling exactly, is it is as if you've put so

much outward tension on your airpipes that new air can no longer pass in

or out and all sounds must now be made with your tongue and mouth

cavity.)

thanks

Think of doubled consonants in Italian, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Arabic, etc. In English, French and Chinese dialects doubled conosnants are probably non-existent.

or

think in English:

set-table for double TT

take-care for double KK, etc.

Double consonants are not aspirated and voiceless in Korean (take-care to remove the aspiration from the above 2 examples).
