The speech on this exercise is so unclear it's almost impossible for an intermediate speaker to understand. I understand you're trying to provide a variety of accents and voices, but I don't think it helps someone at an intermediate level to give a lesson with a very unclear voice.

I believe that the adjective arrière is invariant; hence, no need for the plural.   If I recall, there was another instance of this in this weekend workout.

In “en espérant que je ne me rende pas compte de son absence.”

We have “rendre” in the subjunctive as “rende”. This has been triggered by “espérer que”. But I thought that an affirmative use of “espérer que” would use the Indicative as opposed to the Subjunctive. I don’t know what additional implication the use of the gerund has though…
