Do we not pronounce the 's' for the word 'plus' in this circumstances or?

[pom666]

No, it is a comparaison and the word after doesn't begin by a vowel.

Is it me or is est missed out in the quick version with the female voice? I listened carefully a few times, checked it against the slow version in case I was going nuts and didn't really need it, but even on return to the fast version, I couldn't hear it. Normally, if I miss a word in the fast version, once I play the slow one (if I'm unsure I'll do that), I can hear the "missing" word, but not this time.

Absolutely agree, not even a hint of it at normal speed.

[Dave_on_Duo]

Agree also

I heard it in the male voice, but its really blended in there

"This mountain is the highest of the world" was accepted.

With the male voice, I wasn't able to hear the word "haute" at regular speed. Is it really spoken that way?

I was wondering if any of you have been have issues with "read and respond" questions. They give you a paragraph to read and you can't answer the question. This has nothing to do with this question in particular. Mar 21 2021
