Expired question
Pronunciation of 놀래and 노래.

If I listen to an on line dictionary it seems that:

놀래 = nol hè

and

노래= nor hè

Is that right? For me it seems the same letter: ㄹ. But 'ㄹㄹ' == 'l' and 'ㄹ'== 'r' ?

By the way 'l' and 'r' are different sounds in Dutch and English. I mean a 'lock' is something totally different then a 'rock'. So it is confusing for me when Koreans mix these up like it is the same letter.

Additional Details:

FYI, I got 놀래 from a sentence:
그건 그냥 놀래주려는 농담이었어요
