straight from the zebra's mouth ( ㅈ! )


this one is tough, so here's a lesson


ㅈ is like ʤclick for sample
ㅈ is like j.
ㅈ is never like z.

so zebra is never
jee bra   (지브라)
(not j and not ㅈ)










but z is like an electrical sound (전기 소리. click for sample)


so it's like this
zzzz + ee bra   (z|브라) 

or 
[electricity] + ee bra


so let's say it together
zzzz + ee bra
zebra

now switch back and forth
jee  zee  jee  zee
jo-na-dan shi


you know. it's english spoken with korean grammar and phonics, and somewhat curious lingo.
