double le , the first 了，pronounce liao, an other one pronounce le ,  so we say liaole , ,its correct , it has two meaning , if ppl ask u "do u understand ?", u say liaole,here its mean "understand" , if ppl ask u "how things going ?" u answer liaole, here is an other meaning ,mean u worked out , i hope it can help u.dont mind my bad english ...

Thank you so much Jessica for your full explanation! I'm feeling so sorry for not having replied you 'till now....but actually I completely forgot about Italki :P You have been absolutely clear ! What is 快 in Pinyn?

most of time  we use 了in the end of sentence ,its mean past tense , like "i finished",u can say“wo hao le ” （"我好了），"or " wo wan cheng le "我完成了) ， some ppl ask u "你吃晚饭了吗？”(did u have dinner?) ,then u answer "我吃了",( "yes ,i did " ,)

i try to make it clearly ok? ... if 了 after a verb,   mean past tense , this   action u finished already .such as "我完成了”（i finished ），but.... if u say "我快完成了"，its mean "i almost  finished ",or "im going to finished "   so ,if there is a "快"before了 ,its mean "im going to .."

if 了after a adj or noun, then its mean “enough ” ,like "qingchu le ma ?"(清楚了吗？) mean "clear enough ?” ,“gou le ？”(够了？)，mean“enough?”

i tried my best ,.cuz chinese is really hard to explain   , u could write some sentences ,i can correct that

Many many Thx for your clear answer. (don't worry: your english is way much better than mine).
And when should i use liao alone? is liao written in the same way of le (了)?
It's beacuse i saw somewhere ppl using liao at the end of some sentence. (i mean saw that written in Pinyin).
