I am quite confused with Vocabulary Level 1 Chapter 3

When I click the voice button for

immigration office

It sounds like the person speaking is saying

Yuucan (I don't have any kana computer inputs)
But the reading is longer then just Yuucan.

入国管理局
にゅうこくかんりきょく

But when I go to the dictionary page it seems like it follows the wording better.

Since I am a beginner in japanese I don't know if this is suppose to happen or not.

    The audio is "nyuukan" (にゅうかん).

    にゅうかん = 入管, which is an abbreviation of 入国管理局.

    入国 (にゅうこく) = "entry into a country"
    管理局 (かんりきょく) = "administration bureau"

    So the abbreviation uses the first kanji of each of those two parts of that word: 入 (にゅう) + 管 (かん). But yeah, it would make more sense for the audio to match how it is written. ^^;
