I really like the way you slowly pronounce the words and break them down by syllables. It's a big help! My daughter-in-law, who is Korean, has made a big effort in learning English. I thought I would show my appreciation by learning Korean and your lessons are making it very easy and enjoyable. Keep up the good work! These lessons are excellent.

The "beon" in "hanbeondeo" (한번) is not aspirated. According to wikipedia, it's plain, bilabial plosive (whatever that means). Maybe the "cough" sound was cause I had a cold? Sorry Maxie, don't really know :???: The "juseyo" is the same one from a few lessons back. It means "to give" but in this context it can be translated into English as "please." And yes, it's possible to shorten the the phrase to just "hanbeondeo" (한번더) but it may be difficult to gather what that means exactly. Basically, the meaning of this would not be clear. And in addition to it not being clear, it would be considered rude. And politeness level in Korean is extremely important, probably more so than most other languages. hope this helps :grin: Maxie - thanks for your curiosity!

Maybe Kim-ssi needs to get KoreanPod101.com up and running :mrgreen: Is 'pon' (the second syllable of '1 time') an 'aspirated syllable'? I've heard it mentioned in a lot of textbooks, but don't really get it... I notice it's kind of... coughed... when you say it. Know what I mean? Or maybe it's all in my imagination.:mrgreen: Whoa, i have a lot of questions today, don’t I! Maybe Kim-ssi needs to get KoreanPod101.com up and running :mrgreen:

Are there any shorter versions? "Please say it again" sounds grammatically like the Japanese ’もう一度言ってください’ and that can be shortened quite easily just to 'もう一度’ or just 'one more'. Can we do this in Korean? Whoa, these are pretty long.
