Correct Transcript:

This week, we explore music through the eyes of two married couples. One of them produces recordings of traditional Hawaiian music. The other husband and wife combine music with poetry from their Irish and Sri Lankan Tamil ancestries. And, later in our program, we learn how an American composer created an online choir of more than two thousand singers from all over the world. Laurie and Jake Rohrer live near the small town of Ha'iku on the Hawaiian island of Maui. They have a recording studio in their home. They are helping to support the music of artists who they say are extremely talented yet largely unknown. Laurie discovered Hawaiian music at the age of eight. She came from a military family stationed at Pearl Harbor on the island of Oahu.

Printed "with", the speaker says "through"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "explore music through the eyes". They start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Printed "what", the speaker says "how"

Explanation: The speaker says "learn how an American composer", not "what". First letters differ, so focus on the short word you hear.

Printed "lived", the speaker says "live"

Explanation: Listen for "Rohrer live near the small". On the page it shows "lived", but the speaker says "live".

Printed "help", the speaker says "helping"

Explanation: You will hear "They are helping to support". The page has "help", while the speaker uses a longer form.

Printed "eighteen", the speaker says "eight"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "the age of eight". On the page it reads "eighteen", yet you hear the shorter number.

"Ha'iku" matches the audio

Explanation: "small town of Ha'iku on the Hawaiian" looks odd because of the apostrophe. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.

"Sri" matches the audio

Explanation: "Sri Lankan Tamil ancestries" may seem unusual because the name is short. The speaker says it exactly, so do not click it.
