Learn Korean Online - Simple Explanations in PLAIN English

The question was…

“Hi there. just a quick one.

A few months ago, I asked my co teacher how to say a few things. I apologize in adavance, but I only wrote the phonetic sounds down. When asking someone his/her name she said it should sound like this:
edumm-e mouy-e-a-yo.
and you say:
이름이 뭐 예요
I’m just wondering if the e-a-yo part was her way of making sure that I heard the correct vowel sound in 예 or if it is possibly a different way of pronouncing it here in the south (Mokpo).”

The question was…

“The way that we are learning Korean, are we learning it so that we will have a general accent or from a specific region? I heard about a monk near Daegu that speaks with a super thick New York accent, and everyone here in Mokpo is always worried about me picking up on their dialect. I’m just asking so that in the future if I am asked why I sound a certain way that I can so “Oh, the reason is _____.”
Thanks!!”
