"Ils ne voyageraient pas dans ce vieil avion."

Translation: They wouldn't travel in that old plane.

I got the listening exercise. I typed what I thought I heard (singular) but the correct answer was plural. Do these sentences sound different to a well-tuned French ear?

[Atervanda]

I can't claim to have a well-tuned French ear, but they sound exactly the same according to https://www.cnrtl.fr/morphologie/voyager

You can also input both sentences at https://ttsmp3.com/ and select Léa or Mathieu (the voices Duolingo uses), to compare them. There's no difference.

[angus390025]

Ah, yes. GScottOliver told me about the Lea/Mathieu website before. I had forgotten about that. Thank you. I agree that they sound alike.

There are several of these in the Would You and New Job skills. I reported a few, but after a while I just started typing the plural version all the time to avoid missing them.

il ne voyagerait pas dans ce vieil avion is now accepted, maybe thanks to you.

[ChefeBispo]

"Fly" in lieu of "travel" should be accepted if not preferred.

[Martyn413385]

Agreed. The given English version may be a literal translation but would be very unlikely to be used.

They wouldn't travel in that old beanie, even with the propeller on top.

[Michael803627]

So no liaison between vieil and avion?

[PennyColes1]

I know avian is masculine so would be l'avion or get avion but if 'old' comes before it, would it not be vieux? Ce vieux avion?
