I think he and Hermione heard Harry say "Leave him alone" in the duelling club scene in CoS though I think both of them wouldn't remember what combination of sounds (hisses and rasps) Harry produced. :-) Ron heard Harry say "Open" in two instances and both instances were very emotional moments for him - one when Ginny was trapped in CoS and the other when he was just getting ready to finish off the locket Horcrux. He has made "perfect imitations" and "passable imitations" in the past. So, I think it is very much possible that he can remember the sound of one word and parrot it. And anyway, he did try multiple times and got it right finally, as per his words. Yeah. Possible. :)
