Sorry my question was so obscure. Frankly, I think 90 percent of the Japanese population believe 'the market where antique or used goods are sold' is a 'free maket'. You see we Japanese have difficulty distinguishing between 'L' and 'R' sounds.

Disagree.
Unless SS had already learned the term 'flea market'
But most SS with any knowledge of economics or business would know 'free market'
But SS can be motivated to practice 'L' by getting them to think what would happen if they told the boss he/she was 'looking very
ellegant (arrogant) today'.

I don't want to argue, but I just wanted to say this:
Many of the educated people should know 'free market' in the field of economics, but even many of those Japanese people think 'the market where antique or old goods are sold' is also 'free market'. I can take it to the bank.

Do you pronounce "sabiro" with an L or an R?

Hello.
I have no idea about 'sabiro' or 'sabilo'. What does it mean?
