I'm really confused because the bottom consonants have different sounds like ㄱ is k but for the other ones i keep seeing different ones like ㅂ as p or b same with everything else so if anyone knows thecorrect ones please help me

im a little busy due to personal reasons so i cant link anything or explain much but i think you might be referring to batchim (받침) here?
if you are, you can search up the term and find various explanations
||or maybe someone here will take their time to explain the basics hahah||

so here are the groups to each final consonant sound they make:
ㄱ, ㅋ, ㄲ = [ㄱ] sound
ㄴ = [ㄴ] sound
ㄷ, ㅌ, ㅅ, ㅆ, ㅈ, ㅊ, ㅎ = [ㄷ] sound
ㄹ = [ㄹ] sound
ㅁ = [ㅁ] sound
ㅂ, ㅍ = [ㅂ] sound
ㅇ = [ㅇ] sound

#

examples:

  • 잇, 잊, 잋, 잍, etc. all make the same [읻] sound
  • 깁, 깊 both make the same [깁] sound
  • 각, 갘, 갂 all make the same [각] sound
#

but there are final consonant rules (aka batchim rules) such as the linking rule

#

where 깁이 is pronounced [기비]

#

so the ㅂ gets carried over since the head letter ㅇ does not make any sound

#

and there are many other rules which I don't think are necessary to memorize each, but there should be some helpful online resources that cover them

Ignore everything

#

That everyone else has said here

#

Learn the ACTUAL names of the characters

#

ㅂ is bieup

#

So it makes a B sound in first position and a P sound in second position

#

And its the same for every other character

#

Which is why single characters have different pronunciation

#

But also the final consonant rules above ^
