Pronunciation Guide
맑 (malg) sounds like 'malg' where 'a' is like in 'father', and 'lg' is a subtle, quick 'l' then 'g' sound. Try to say 'mal' then quickly add a soft 'g' at the end. 은 (eun) sounds like 'eun' in 'fun' but with lips more spread. 하 (ha) sounds like 'ha' in 'haha'. 늘 (neul) sounds like 'neul' where 'eu' is like the 'u' in 'but' but with lips more spread, followed by 'l'. The '맑' syllable can be tricky due to the double consonant.
