I’m a native speaker and I had to listen to this a dozen times before I figured out what she was saying. I don’t know if reading the other answers first threw me off or if she really is hard to understand.

Hint: what word is pronounced like blue but is spelled differently?

You need the adjective “fierce” here which is almost a homophone to “fears”.

This audio is very difficult. I can understand “blue all night” only.

I share NearlyNapping his opinion. I can somewhat understand the native speakers speech more than the English.best audios. I like to listen to these audios. I think it will be an excellent training for us to listen to these very nice audios. I’m so grateful to sir, Torsten for these audios.
