Getting really sick of the individual word mic input

I'm referring to when you get a sentence with a blank, and then have multiple choice for the word to fill in and pressing the button activates the mic input. I know I'm pronouncing these words right, but I think the threshold for error is so small it doesn't exist. Meanwhile the ones where you speak a complete sentence let me trail off mumbling and it still gets marked right. I'm using the free version so this one type of question can really eat up my hearts and it's very frustrating? Anyone had this same issue?

I've tried waiting a second before speaking, or making sure I speak right away. I think waiting too long can contribute to it not catching you clearly and having you try again, but I've had the same issue speaking right away too. Basically it has me try again until it marks it as failed

I'm just refreshing my french skills, I took French for years in school so I know my pronunciation isn't that bad lol
