Excellent, Teresa. Your pronunciation of 'DETAILS' is correct - but please be aware that this is US English pronunciation. UK English - the stress falls on the first syllable - 'DEtail'. Listen here: https://www.lexico.com/definition/detail

Thanks, Anna! Be careful with your pronunciation of 'three' - the 'th' sound can be tricky.
Also, listen carefully to your pronunciation of 'flight' (which should rhyme with 'night') and 'delayed' (be careful with the '-ed' pronun).
Like Teresa, you have also used US English pronunciation of 'details', which is, of course, correct. I just wanted you both to be aware that UK English = DEtails (stress on the first syllable).

Sorry for sending an audio file but I have been struggling with the website.

Thanks, Consiglia! Just be careful with your pronunciation of SITE / SIGHT - it sounded a bit strange. It should rhyme with NIGHT / FLIGHT / BITE, etc.

Again, I am sorry for the delay...the platform works well on my phone but not so well on my computer, so I had to record with my phone and the quality is not so high

Excellent, Rosa. Everybody is using US English pronunciation of 'DETAILS', which is fine. See note that I wrote to Anna Capunao.
