Printed "crowded", the speaker says "overrun"

Explanation: You will hear "overrun by tourists". They start with different letters, so listen to the whole word.

Explanation: On the recording the words are "tranquil retreat from city". The two words start with different letters, so wait for the whole word.

Printed "friendly", the speaker says "welcoming"

Explanation: Listen again to "welcoming sharing stories". They start with different letters, and the spoken word is one letter longer.

Printed "uplifting", the speaker says "enriching"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "enriching and physically". They end with the same letters, so listen to the start to tell them apart.

Printed "challenging", the speaker says "demanding"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "both spiritually enriching and physically demanding". The printed word is longer, so trust the shorter spoken word.

Printed "path", the speaker says "track"

Explanation: The speaker says "off the beaten track providing", not "path". They begin with different letters, so follow the word you hear.

Printed "lifetime", the speaker says "forever"

Explanation: Listen for "will last forever". They start with different letters, so trust your ears over the printed word.
