    Hi I have been studying since Level 1 and I am listening to your lessons every day for the past 3 months. Very, very, very helpful. But… there is one thing about this lesson that is very frustrating:

    When you talk about how to pronounce ‘더’ you claim that it sounds like the ‘Tho’ noise, but after listening several times in a row, I am shaking my head in disbelief. You even go on to say that the sound is made with the tongue inbetween upper and lower teeth, which is exactly how the ‘th’ as in “those” or “that” or “then” is made, but it doesn’t sound like Kyoung Eun is saying that at all! It sounds like you’re both saying TOE. As in, the appendage at the end of your foot. TOE.

    Am I the only one who is hearing that? Am I crazy? It sounds like toe!!! >:/

      I definitely do not hear ‘toe’.. Unless you pronounce toe differently because ‘toe’ has a very strong “O” sound. I thought they meant you put your tongue between your top and bottom teeth but keep your mouth closed. Then it becomes more of a ‘theo’ or ‘thoh’ sound.

    나는 너보다 더 예뻐요
    Does it sound natural for saying „I am more beautiful than you” ?
    Thank you
