"Pu" sounded like "plus"

In "J'aurais pu changer ..." I kept hearing and "l" in "pu." Did anybody else hear this, too?

Hi Mary Anne,

I can't hear the 'l' you suggest and it should not be there, of course, maybe others can comment?

Yep, same here, even after careful re-listening. Obviously due to my ears, and not the French speaker, but I couldn’t correct this “bug” in my hearing…
