Yes - even listening again is difficult.
And how does the clue of Old English help differentiate between break and brake?

That was really good.
Although I found the womans pronunciation wasn't very clear on some words.
Gosh, is this what we have all become?

Just given it a go but found the words sometimes tailed off, especially the man's, so got several mistakes.

If you hear a word and you are not sure about it, click on word help, and then make sure you click across to next tip. The first tip gives the word origin, which isn't very helpful, but the next one gives word type (adjective etc), the next one is the definition, and the next one uses the word in a sentence.
Definitely helps for words like their/there etc.

No sound at work, so I did the multiple choice.
Definitely addictive!
