Summary/Abstract: Non-native interpretation and (re)production of SL/FL sounds. Case study: Korean and Romanian. Issues in pronunciation arise from the fact that not all languages have identic phonetic inventories and that a language could make use of sounds that may not be present in the phonetic inventory of another, thus a FL learner could have difficulties in reproducing them. This paper tries to approach the issue of non-native pronunciation of sounds with regard to the acquisition of the Korean phonetic system by Romanian native speakers, and vice-versa.
