Terrible Narrator

Stilted and odd phrasing, poor breath control, mispronounced words (including “herb”!). Really impossible to listen to. Unfortunate - material seems good but it’s ruined.by the delivery.

She can’t say “herb” 🤦🏾‍♀️

She is blintzes a very good narrator. I retained more when I read myself. Spent lots of time trying to figure out some words she said instead of what she is saying.
