The purpose of this paper is to discover why some sounds in the English language are relatively more difficult for Korean learners of English. The theoretical background of this paper is based on two hypotheses: the Markedness Differential Hypothesis (MDH) and the Similarity Differential Rate Hypothesis (SDRH). This paper analyzes the data of obstruents of Korean and English and shows that the voiced stops are most difficult to learn in obstruents. In this process, it is more difficult for the advanced learners to acquire the similar sounds, such as the voiced and the voiceless fricative ones.
