Problems with pronouncing 'avondeten'?
Is anyone else having problems with Duolingo's speech recognition and the word 'avondeten'? Because when I say the word, it appears on-screen for a moment, then it disappears. Could a native see if I'm saying it right, or if it is Duolingo's fault?
Note: I tried using Google Translate's speech recognition, and it detects it perfectly fine - although as two words 'avond eten'.

The link sounds ok'ish, you will be understood if you pronounce it like that, but to me it sounds a bit like afendeten. Paying a bit attention pronouncing the "v" more like a "v" and less like an "f" and pronounincing the "o" more like a short "o" (similar to English stop) and it's perfect.
