Pronunciation German words.
The female voice sometimes has pronunciations which very hard to recognise. The word "wir" souned to me as if it began with "l". I played over many times, but couldn't hear "w". Simularly wth "Bücher", This to me definately began with "g". Is there something wrong with how the voice is generated?

I also have problems understanding the stuff she says, There was a sentence where I thought she should be saying "das" but it sounded like "does" (in English) so I figured she must be trying to say "des" or something. I lost a heart for that :( I also notice she says a lot of words that have long E's like they're "ie" instead of a long E sound. Isn't long E supposed to sound like the ee in "Beethoven" or the eh in "geh"?
