For a while now (one, two months?) I no longer get audio for the first word in a review or new learning session. Clicking on the speaker icon also fails to play the audio. However, after the first word the audio is fine. The problem is in both Chrome and Safari. What’s behind this?
It would be helpful to know what courses you are doing. Can you post links to them?
I am on Italian 2 and I have this happen to me from time to time on Android.
Try waiting a minute. There’s oftentimes a delay in downloading the audio.
The courses are:
- French • Nouns 1
+ French • Nouns 1 - by eunoia - Memrise
Duolingo Spanish Vocabulary
First 5000 Words of Spanish
Learn French Conjugation
Learn Spanish Conjugation
I don’t mind waiting a couple of seconds. But beyond that something is wrong. Especially when it is a persistent problem across several courses. Wait a whole minute? Somehow, I don’t think so…
