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.

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 :)

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
