Speech & Pronunciation
My experience of the silent letters
I was trying to imitate his speaking in the audio sample I attached.
He says "Our next obstacle was a shallow pool of water about half a mile across."
It was hard until I found this trick after had repeated after him about 30 times. The trick is: Don't pronounce the 't' in "obstacle" or the 'f' in "of". Otherwise, you cannot catch up with him.

Hi AVim, AVim The trick is: Don't pronounce the 't' in "obstacle" or the 'f' in "of". Otherwise, you cannot catch up with him. the f in of is pronounced v, and you can hear it if you listen carefully and turn up the volume.
