Oh haha, good luck with your studies! (:
1. Okay, so I was using a book called "학원 갈 시간이 없는 분을 위한 진명 표준: 독학 일본어 첫걸음 1" to study and I noticed this phrase was different from the one I learned from Japanesepod101.
こちらこそ、どうぞよろしく。
Kochirakoso, douzoyoroshiku
Translation to Korean: 저야말로 아무쪼록 잘 부탁합니다.
Translation to English: Please be [very] kind to me.
Does こちらこそ mean "very" in this phrase? What's more commonly used? おねがいします (essentionally, this means "please) or using こちらこそ? Is using either of them okay?
2. I learned that the ん and the small つ affects the way you read (and pronounce the words) when spoken aloud; but how do we know when to stress certain letters over the other?
Example:
오 까-- 상
お母さん (Mother)
O ka: sang <---is what the textbook says
Wouldn't the '' be pronounced San(산 or even 사 'sa'~ㄴ'n'), instead of Sang(상)?
3. I've also come across the 'Ha' はbeing pronounced as 'Wa' instead to show (in korean, you use it similarily to ~은, ~는).
In example:
あなたは にほんじんです。
당신은 일본 사람입니다.
I think in English, it works similarly to 'is". Why is it read as 'Wa' instead of 'Ha'?
