Sounds different than it looks
Letters change sound next to each other. Read it as 만나서 반갑씀니다.
Looks like갑습but say갑씀
After a final ㅂ, the next ㅅ is said tense, like ㅆ.
Looks like습니다but say씀니다
The final ㅂ before ㄴ turns into ㅁ, so -ㅂ니다 always sounds like -ㅁ니다.
Tip: Pause lightly between the two words.
