Printed "simple", the speaker says "basic"

Explanation: Listen for "basic scales and". It says "simple" on the page, but you hear a different word. They begin with different letters, so focus on the first sound.

Printed "complex", the speaker says "challenging"

Explanation: You will hear "more challenging pieces". The printed word "complex" appears in the text, not in the audio. Both words start with the same letter, so wait for the whole word to be sure.

Printed "elevate", the speaker says "deepen"

Explanation: On the recording the words are "deepen your musical". The text shows "elevate" instead of what you hear. The spoken word is shorter, so listen for a shorter sound.

Printed "essential", the speaker says "crucial"

Explanation: Listen again to "crucial to listen". It says "essential" in the transcript, but the audio uses another word. Both words end with the same two letters, so listen to the start to tell them apart.

Printed "carefully", the speaker says "closely"

Explanation: In the audio you hear "listen closely to". The page shows "carefully" rather than what you hear. They share the first letter, so listen to the rest of the word.

Printed "parallelly", the speaker says "accurately"

Explanation: Here the speaker says "playing accurately." The printed word "parallelly" is on the page, not what you hear. The printed word makes no sense before "note", so trust the audio and click the printed word.
