    I’m in the verb sections of season 3 and just want to make sure I’m hearing some of theses examples correctly. Here is an example sentance:

    にほんご　を　べんきょうしますか?
    I’m hearing “Nihongo benkyoshimaska” spelled the way I hear it to avoid confusion.

    It seems like the を is just being omitted. This is the case in all the examples where an “O” sound comes before the を, but the text never mentions anything about it. I just want to make sure this is the way you would say it and I’m not just hearing it wrong or there is an audio problem.

    Any Help? Thanks.

    It is not being omitted.  It just isn’t being made distinct because it’s the same vowel sound.

    Aye, concur. It’s real tricky to make out, but it’s still there.
