@ cordelia: Thank you! It's a bit hectic for me right now because I have to learn more Korean while here, but I also think it's an amazing opportunity for me to get to improve on my mother language finally.
@ qklilx: Did you try to differenciate between D, ㄷ and ㅌ? It's a bit difficult I know.. ;). You might not hear the distinction in normal speech because of the speed at which it is spoken. Also, when ㄷ doesn't come in the beginning of a word, then it tends to resemble English D sometimes.
And I also think you wouldn't need to know the majority of words in Z.J.J's post.
@ ennime: I will make that audio file as soon as possible. I was thinking of going for ㅈ, ㅉ and ㅊ first because I thought they were the most neglected, but decided to go for ㄷ, ㄸ, ㅌ instead. :/

I can certainly differentiate D from ㄷ and ㅌ. It's the two Korean consonants that give me a problem. Except in certain cases, I usually don't hear the difference whether the person is spouting off words I know or deliberately enunciating as you were in the video.
This conversation reminds me of one I had with my Korean friend earlier this year. He wanted me to correct his pronunciation on some song lyrics he wrote, and the word "Sunday" came up. He asked me which was correct, "선데이" or "썬데이." Do Koreans not know that English lacks those sort of sounds or was he just getting confused by my own pronunciation, where we English speakers may emphasize syllables and cause it to be dressed up with Korean "double consonants"?

Mmm... maybe I should make a more detailed video explaining how exactly the sounds are produced.. But even if I choose to do so, it would have to wait as I have lots of things to do right now... :(
Can't really answer your second question, but I think it's not a general problem experienced by Koreans, but rather something specific to your friend.
I made a new video of ㅈ, ㅉ and ㅊ. I hope you guys enjoy it.
If you want me to make any other videos, just let me know and I'll think about it, if it's more appropriate to make a video than post the answer on the forum.
