Pronunciation problem

[philrob]

Firstly, congratulations on the "Learning German" units - they are the best I have had a look at and I am enjoying doing the exercises.One small request - I am having trouble distinguishing between "Ihr" and "Er" when having to translate into English from the vocal cue. Any ideas, please?

the German E is more like "elegant", the I is like "eeh"

Baby-pie - thank you for your suggestion. I have a feeling that it may be my audio broadcast quality may be at fault.

The audio is very poor on this. I try to overcome it by looking for clues from the verb used. It's not infallible but it helps.

helenvee - Vielen Dank für Ihre Hilfe. Ich denke, es ist ein Audio Problem mit meinem Computer, wie ich es auf eine andere haben es versucht und die Qualität war viel besser.
