This study examines the influence of F0 on Japanese learners' perception of initial lax, aspirated, and tense consonants in Korean Twelve native speakers of Seoul Korean in their twenties and thirties and 24 native Japanese speakers participated in the perception test. The native Japanese speakers included 12 beginner learners in their teens and twenties who had studied Korean for the first time as a general academic subject at a Japanese university for less than one year, and 12 advanced learners, ranging from their twenties to forties, who had lived in Seoul for more than one year and who had passed level 5 or higher in the Test of Proficiency in Korean. Stimuli consisted of monosyllables with lax and aspirated consonants (/ta, tsa, rha, tsha/) with interchanged F0s. Results from recognition tests found that both beginner and advanced learners paid less attention to stimuli F0 compared with native speakers. ln cases where stimuli included a tense stop (/t'a/), a tense affricate (/ts'a;), and non-tense and tense fricatives (/sa, s'a/), F0 had no significant influence on recognition for native speakers. ln contrast, both beginner and advanced learners evaluated consonants by changes in F0. The results suggest Japanese learners acquiring Korean initial consonants are prone to either insufficient focus on F0 or excessive focus on F0, with learning experience showing no significant effect on acquisition. Although this survey is preliminary, the findings may have implications for the teaching of Korean to Japanese speakers.
