How's the word "won" (Korean currency) pronounced in Squid game?
It sounds like w-uh-n to me. So every time they're talking about money, it sounds like 1001 instead of 1000 won. Is that how you pronounce it? "W-uh-n", or am I just mishearing it?
Uses of "I guess" for assumptions (?)
Hi everyone, I'm familiar with "I guess..." marking hypotheses, impressions, opinions, and such. How do you feel about someone using "I guess" to lead into a supposition/guess about something that has a clear correct true answer or real state? (e.g. "I guess Paris is the capital of France." "I guess I rolled a five with my die.") Does this feel normal, unusual or weird to you? Looking forward to your opinion!
Found someone study English together

Small talk struggle
I recently joined a free English conversation class, and I noticed that I really struggled with thinking of what to reply when someone says something. For example, the speaker asked us who the funniest person we know is. I told her that it is my sister, and that she always makes jokes, even in inappropriate situations. The speaker told me that her sister does the same thing. I wasn't able to reply with anything except an awkward, forced giggle lol. That was the only response I could think of at that moment, as I didn’t want to come across as rude or dismissive. And this was not the last time this happened. Do you have any tips on what I should look out for when someone says something, so I can easily come up with a follow-up question? Thank you in advance for any suggestions or help you can provide!

Order vs. Decree
What is the difference between "order" and "decree"? When I look them up in the dictionary, they seem similar.
