So? I don't know, Amy :) that's why I want some ideas from native speakers: you will surely understand more than me (My non-native teachers here always teach me that "repeat again" is completely wrong. ;)

You're teachers are wrong, or referring to a specific context. It would only be wrong if one had not repeated something more than once.
e.g.
*Today, we just tried oysters for the first time and wouldn't repeat again.
...........
Son: I hate you, Mom!
*Mom: Would you like to repeat again what you just said? |

Nothing of the kind. But when I don't know anything I expect some explanations. For example here Agreement between subject and verb. Though in this case (I mean my question - Agreement) I will agree on it natural, common.... :)
