In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (https://progress.lawlessfrench.com/revision/grammar/conjugate-pouvoir-in-le-conditionnel-present-i-could), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?

In this exercise, "rr" of Pourriez-vous sounds silent but in the lesson (Conjugate pouvoir in the conditional present in French = could (Le Conditionnel Présent)), for the same Pourriez-vous, I can make out clearly she's enunciating it. Is it just that I can't hear the "rr" in this exercise as clearly as the other one?

Hi Vimal,

I have listened to the recording and it sounds okay to me.

Different voices pronounce words a bit differently, sometimes this is due to regional differences.
