Salut a tous

"Je voudrais un coca ... "by the male "Voudrais" sounds different from the female in "Bonjour, je voudrais un coca... "Is it a regional accent?

Bonjour Michelle !

I've now replaced this audio file with a much clearer male voice :)

Bonne journée !

Hi Claudia,

No, it is just the way the recording system used sometimes slightly distorts some words...

It actually sounds like the computer is saying "voudra" (at least to me) which could be a bit confusing because you don't use voudra with je, and obviously voudrai is not pronounced like voudra. 

Could you perhaps just remove this clip and put the female computer one in the examples in its place to avoid this confusion?
