This study presented the results of study follow-up surveying the feature of Korean pronunciation by Chinese learners phonetically from the elementary level to the advanced level of Korean learning. Among Korean consonants, I studied plosive consonant and affricate that forms opposition of ‘Lax consonants : Aspirated consonants : Tense consonants’. 5 men and 5 women, a total of 10 Chinese Korean learners were selected, and a total of 3 experiments were conducted in the interval of 6 months. For experiment, consonants required for analysis were recorded, F0 value and VOT value were obtained using the voice analysis program, Praat, and analyzed. To measure the degree of development of pronun- ciation for Korean consonant, paired t-test was conducted with he matching pairs of elementary - intermediate, intermediate-advanced, elementary-advanced. As a result of experimental analysis, Chinese learner was found to learn the pronunciation of Tense consonants relatively easily, but not to separate Lax consonants and Aspirated consonants well. It was recon -firmed that Aspirated consonants was highly likely to develop through learning process, but Lax consonants was considerably difficult to develop. In this regard, it was proposed to intensively discuss Lax consonants in Korean consonant education.
