    and than try to pronounce it again by reading the transcription
    What does it mean "and than"? Why is "and" needed?

    actually, I missed your "than" it should be "then"

    Grammatically, I can't tell you; however, you are saying to do one task first AND THEN do a second task. Maybe someone NOT American can answer that for you.

    Here are some examples that I found:

    We recommend that you read the grammar explanation on the first page of the lesson and then do the exercises, thinking all the time about the rules in the grammar explanation.
    So you must remember to add (er) to the adjective and then place (than) after the (er). My brother is taller than me. It's very easy! (adjective+er) + than.
    In Swedish, however, it is more common to bring an element to the front of the sentence and then invert subject and verb (as in German).
    IMPORTANT The dictionary language applies to the entire database and cannot be defined for individual records or fields. To check the spelling in a multilingual database, you must change the dictionary language for each language that is in the database and serially check the spelling for each language used in each record.
    • Click the Microsoft Office Button , and then click Access Options.
    Where is the Access Options button?
    • Click Proofing.
    • In the Dictionary language list, click the dictionary language that you want to use, and then click OK.

    Now that I think about it a little more... AND in the sentence might be a "conjunction" between the two instructional sentences.
