The word "rännte" does not exist in the german language ;)
I think you meant "Rente" (the money that old people get when they don´t work anymore).
But it could also be that you meant "rannte" (the past tense of "rennt")

I actually don't know what word "rännte" was supposed to be. All I know is that, supposedly, the words "rennt" and "rännte" have only one difference in pronunciation, that being the pronunciation of the vowel "e" and "ä".

Anyway, thank you very much for your recording.

If the word "rännte" existed, you would pronounce it like "Rente" (that´s the word I said in the recording). So: Same pronounciation, but different spelling.
You´re welcome. :)
