Bonjour, To my beginner's ear, it sounds like in some of the answers the French speaker pronounces each word (tout le monde) distinctly and others the "le" gets glossed over. Am I just not hearing correctly or is there a preference?
Merci!

Tout le monde pronunciation
This question relates to:French lesson "Tout le monde = Everybody/Everyone (French Indefinite Pronouns)"
Asked 4 years ago
Spoken French is extremely variable (but not as bad as German, so don't complain ;) ) in what gets pronounced and what is swallowed up. Most of the time I hear tout le monde pronounced as "too l'mo", but I'm sure other variants exist.
