hm I didn't notice 聞こえてきた much but it seems to be used often in google a lot

maybe it has more of a nuance of 'notice'

versus the focus on the potentiality of 聞こえた

what's the context sentence

ah i would guess きた may be because of the focus on improvement/noticing new words

change of state maybe

That's interesting

To me it sounds like...分かってきた like....you're just now hearing them

"them" = the new words

@snailplane どんどん、どんどんきてくる

You've actually heard them before, but then they were just sounds, and now you're actually hearing the words...*you've become able to hear them as words*

does that make sense?

That's what I like about Lang-8 so much

me too!

死をもって償う ==> make up for a failure with (one's own) death?

I see I see

Here's a related word, I guess: 賜死

賜るとは「ありがたくいただく」ということですね。

I guess like in "last samurai" what he was talking about "if the emperor wanted me dead, he would only have to ask me"

Little bit

Here's a question: 口の中で唸った....does 口の中で have a nuance other than the obvious?

non-related ==> 急いては事を仕損じる is an idiom for "haste makes waste"

Ok! Bedtime! Tomorrow is Monday! Yay Monday!

@AndrewGrimm My problem with this whole concept is that I receive spam in English, and it usually has laughably bad syntax. I don't see any reason Japanese spam would be any better.
