I found in FSI-Korean Volume I a contradiction between the transcript and the recording. In the transcript, whenever it comes to the meaning of "Yes", the sign is always "예"(ye), while the recording pronounced "네"(ne).  Why?  Is it a misprint or something?  Could any of you help me out?

Both words mean "Yes".  I don't know all of the rules, but some things aren't pronounced as they're written in Korean.

Actually, they are written differently... I don't know why they didn't include the spelling 네 in your text, but that's how it's written if it's pronounced "ne."

rmikura,
 
Thanks.  Actually, the transcripts were downloaded from this site http://www.outsideinkorea.com/inside/2007/02/a_free_korean_language_course.php - www.outsideinkorea.com/inside/2007/02/a_free_korean_language_course.php
 
I am almost a dummy on Korean language, no co-learner around, which is making it really tough.
