I don't have hearing issues but I too have a very difficult time understanding one of the female voices, but I use it as a challenge because I think that is how Spanish is spoken by some people. Spanish is the second fastest spoken language in the world after Japanese so we can expect the words to run together somewhat. I have noticed sequences of words that contain vowels are the ones that run into each other. For example, "Y una" sounds like "Yuna", "Con ella" sounds like "Coneja" which I translated as rabbit and that is Conejo, so I was wrong on that too. When the translation exercise at the sentence level comes up, I try my best but I click on the "Answer" button and listen again and then I practice saying the words exactly as she says them because that is spoken Spanish. Just as in English we mush our words together. For example. "I'm gonna go" sound mushmouth to a foreigner expecting to hear clearly "I'm going to go" and "budder" doesn't really sound like "butter' to me. Let's face it, learning a foreign language is not an easy task.
