For the examples, the vowel 'ㅏ' will be used to help you learn how to pronounce these consonants. It will be read differently if you were to put other vowels behind these consonants.
가 - ka
나 - na
다 - da
라 - ra/la
마 - ma
바 - ba/pa
하 - ha
사 - sa
아 - ah
자 - ja
The following are double consonants. The way I remember how to pronounce these double consonants is that it has a more nasal sound and a higher tone.
까 - kka
따 - dda
빠 - bba/ppa
싸 - ssa
짜 - jja

These consonants when read out have an airy sound to them. You have to let out some air when pronouncing these words below.
차 - cha
카 - ka
타 - ta
파 - pa
