In the vocabulary section, the word you3 (to have) sounds like it is being pronounced like the word yao3 (or perhaps I am hearing incorrectly). The pinyin chart appears to give the correct pronounciation; I am just a bit confused at the pronounciation I am hearing in the vocabulary section and the review mp3 file. Hope you can shed some light on this. I am a newcomer to ChinesePod, so maybe I am misunderstanding/overlooking something. Great course by the way! I am hooked!
