In the audio for 田中さんの車は古いです, I hear を instead of は. Does anyone else hear it that way or do I just need more listening exposure like the poster above?

I heard it too and bugged me. (I’m a noob, no idea why it sounds so weak here and close to を when it’s usually pretty distinct for me even in rapid speech in my very limited experience.)

@chromakey @Kraft I just took a listen to this one (both with external speakers and with headphones) and it is definitely は. It is very weak though, and links immediately into the ふ of the next word. Kinda sounds a bit like ‘afo’.
Sometimes we get these rerecorded if they sound unnatural, but in this case I think it is pretty good listening practice, especially considering it is in a short sentence that finishes with an adjective+です, so there’s no way a を could possibly exist in the sentence in the first place.
Totally understand the frustration though. We’ve all been there
