Hi!

I took a look at the hebrew basic course, both the text and the  recording.  In the  former there reads that  /x/, as  they represent the transcription, is a velar voiceless fricative, but in the latter it clearly sound like a uvular voiceless trill, at least in the first drill, for in the second, when the ladies talk, they do the velar. Which one should I copy? both? (it is easy to notice that which I tell when the word /maxrux/ is pronunced.( mr williams third line of the dialog))

Thanks!!!

X is always X. I can't see that difference. The only difference you should notice there is the R.
