혀가 짧아서 어렸을 때 수술 하는 사람 많은뎅,,, From what I know though, it's only effective if you have the surgery done at a young age. The doctor told my mom that if I had the surgery too late, my pronunciation would be affected. It might be the same for the girl in the article though, if she hasn't learned Korean for very long..? | ||

Nothing major. | ||

It's called hypermobile tongue. And the area of the back of the throat that leads to the nose is the nasopharynx. You can look it up on google "hypermobile tongue nasopharynx". Needless to say, before I did this to myself (it seemed natural, it hurt every day, but after a few weeks the skin was gone and healed) I was easily able to touch my tongue to the tip of my nose (on the outside). I guess this inspired me? P.S. I'm not weird or mutated or anything in any other way, it just happened! It's useful to remove mucus when you have issues with it, especially in the morning. Yeah. That sounds gross, but I have very fresh breath, as I take care of my mouth! For the visually inclined, here's a picture from wikipedia of the nasopharynx. That's why I can put my tongue. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4a/Illu_pharynx.jpg [Edit]: I don't think I've told my fiancee I can do this yet... Maybe I should... | ||

You're getting the stereotype backwards. edit: Although from what I've heard, it's more that many Asian languages have a consonant that's sort of between a western R and L. Yeah Korean's have this. I really want to listen to how she pronounces L sounds before and after.. On August 12 2011 22:57 hdan wrote: Wrong japanese has no L sounds. From what I hear, actually hear myself is that Japanese people pronounce R sounds with L sounds and L sounds with R sounds. Anyone else notice that? | ||

I was having surgery on my ear done and simply requested them to do that too before going in there. | ||

I highly doubt this would help 'pronounciation'. It's not like adopted children speaks with an accent because they have short tongues or anything. Might help if you've got some kind of weird speech impediment though. | ||
