Does the patient have a non-Parisian accent?

Hello,

I misheard what should have been easy -- the "est-ce que" at the very beginning of the exercise. It sounded something like "elle secourt" to me. Thank you.

Bonjour James,

We agree with you that it is not perfect. The words have been over-articulated. Usually, you should hear [S-keu]. The recording will be changed accordingly to avoid this ambiguity.

Bonne journée !
