A comment on enunciation

I know these lower level dictées are meant to be spoken slowly to suit beginners, but I find that with the over-enunciation, I often hear words that aren't there. Not sure whether this is a good thing or not?

For example:

-J'adore voyager

-C'est mon passe-temps favori

I hear :

-j'adore à voyager

-C'est mon passe au temps favori

Bonjour G,

Thank you for your feedback! We've taken a look and have amended the audio to improve the enunciation. 

Merci et bonne journée !

Thank you!

However, please keep them slower as the fast ones are frustrating at my level - thank you
