Je n'ai même pas encore commencé à râper le fromage.

Je n'ai même pas encore commencé à râper le fromage.

I am the first to admit my listening skills aren't great, but I was wondering if anyone else can actually hear the word "même" in this phrase in this exercise? I do struggle to pick up all the words sometimes, but I've replayed this a dozen times and can't discern it at all - is it just me or has it been omitted on the audio file?)

This question relates to:French dictation exercise "A winter evening with friends"

Dictation exercise B2

Hi Paul,

I have listened to the recording and it says -

Tant mieux car je n'ai pas encore commencé à râper le fromage.

No même there I am afraid!
