I hear "Lei MI ha il sale", which is obviously not what it is supposed to say. In the version of the question I got, there is no 'slower' option for the audio to check.
I try putting it in a logical context (although some of the sentences in Duolingo don't make sense). "Lei è il sale" translates to "She is salt", so it must be wrong and I try to guess the most logical translation unless you are referring to Evelyn Salt in the Salt movie :p
So all this time, Italians have been visiting us and seeing the word salt pasted all over our shop windows.
If you point your mouse to each word, you get the slower pronunciation even when there is no slow option.

Words that end on "e" in singular could be masculine or feminine, you just have to memorize them.
The fast version just slurs all the words together. I realize that native speakers in any language tend to do this. But it's not optimal for learning.
I thought it was "Lei è il sale" but when you listen to slower, then fast i guess it makes sense because the h is silent and the ha Plus il sounds like il when run together
This course is hard going. I find her accent confusing. Also mistakes. Just put l'orso for the bear and told it is wrong? Still, it is free!
