Recording of «Je (ne) sais pas» includes pronounced 'ne'

Not sure if this is intended as a contrast, but (ne) sounds like it has an edit attempt, while still being clearly heard and fully pronounced.

This question relates to:French lesson "Omitting the "ne" in informal negative sentences in French (French Negations)"

Hi Maarten, 

I have altered it to sound as the French would say it, listen to it and let me know what you think...

Thanks Cécile. Yes, that is the way I keep hearing it, here in French confinement, luckily chez famille. Merci.
