My bad listening comprehension #17

The sentence which I heard wrong today is:

The learning purpose pretice cheep.


Can you guess the correct sentence?
First, there isn't the word "pretice." It sounded such pronunciation to me, so I thought it was a new word for me. I guessed this sentence meant that a person had lost sight of his purpose of learning or something like that.

The correct sentence is:

The learning curve is pretty steep.

Even after knowing the correct sentence, "curve is" sounds nothing but "purpose" to me, I listened it over and over again though.

My hearing wrong of the past:
