Right? I mean, you can see it, you can read what time it is, you may even be able to repair it, but do you truly understand the clock?

I'm curious about the pronunciation of "horloĝon" given here. The "rl" sequence seems to have turned into a single trill. Is this common among Esperanto speakers (especially those with a non-English L1)?
I don't know if it's been changed since your comment, but I hear the "l" quite clearly.

Yeah, I'm sure they changed it to avoid confusion. Still wondering if that "rl" to "rr" thing is common among Esperanto speakers. I guess it's hard to say since they tend to be pretty spread out, with a lot of diversity in accent.
I just got through reporting it for not having an L sound. I played it over and over and can't hear one. So I'm glad I saw your comment.
I hear an alveolar trill (back of the throat) followed by a normal "l". I can't say whether combining the sound is common amongst speakers, but I know the aim is to pronounce the sounds distinctly.
Just like trielt, I also hear the "l" without problems. I guess it was fixed.
Is it 'watch' or 'clock'? The answer is different depending on the question. The first one to appears, saying 'clock' is wrong, but if you say 'watch' now, it is wrong.
