I'm confused. Where does 'easily' come from? Is well and easily the same word?

잘 - well/good/thoroughly/readily
나아요 - to get well/recover
Per the tips and hints in this skill, in Korea a disease recovers from you so 그 병은 나아요 is basically saying "regarding that disease, one recovers" (i.e. the disease can recover from someone). In English we would say either "that disease is curable/cured" or "one can recover from that disease".
Hence, 그 병은 잘 나아요 is basically saying "regarding that disease, one well recovers" (i.e. the disease can recover from you easily). In English this would be either "one can recover from that disease easily" or "that disease is easily curable/cured".
Hope that helps somebody.

Thank you, that helps a lot! The tips and hints are only available on my browser or my laptop, but not the mobile app.

Should "illness" be accepted? It is listed as one of the possible translations.
I just reported it for marking me wrong when I wrote "That illness is easily cured". I see you had the same problem 2 years ago, now.
how come on this answer, illness is not excepted instead of disease? on other translations you can say both, but not this one...
I just tried "That illness is easily cured" and was marked wrong. I reported it, then came here. I think it definitely should be an option, especially as it was introduced to us as illness in a different part of the very same lesson. I think it is just an oversight; they only know what needs fixing if it is reported. All the best :)
I translated this as "That disease heals well." It marked me as incorrect. I think it should be right. What about you? If not, why?
That doesn't really work in English as the object with the disease is what heals. In Korean the ailment is the subject/topic.

when ㄹ and ㄴ go after one another, the pronunciation changes to ㄹ+ㄹ
so yes, it should be '잘 라아요'

No problem :) also you don't have to search worldwide, all of the basic pronunciation rules are here: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/ko/Alphabet-2/tips-and-notes

Many thanks again. I mainly use the phone app, so I'm not as familiar with all that Duolingo has to offer on the website.

Yeah, I also use the mobile app more and some of the courses have got Tips even on the app version (I think Japanese or Chinese? I'm not sure), but not the Korean one, so it also took me a while to discover this feature
It's telling me I have a typo when I word I didnt use was not an option. the word choices were "cured" but said it should have been "cures", which was not one of the choices...
What you describe happens a lot to me with the mobile app. Flag it, and try not to be confused by the mis-behaviour
I want to change the language. I learn Korean but the meaning is English is difficult. I want to change in Indonesian. So how to change it?

Whatever I say, duo won't accept my answer and I'm just about done with this bs. I get so frustrated when i know im right, and duo just doesnt work.
I wrote "that disease gets cure easily" but flagged as wrong is my english wrong or my korean answer is wrong Thank you
