Yes, it is. It's strange that it appeared in a textbook however.

Да :)
And for some of us it is more than common, hence the problems with pronunciation in other languages...
But the correct spelling sounds quite clear

I actually love this aspect of Russian, since I always swallow syllables when talking
anyway.

Not as much. But I meant for me personally since even when I speak French or Swedish I
speak twice as fast as most natives and swallow half my syllables.

As someone learning the language this is one aspect of Russian I do not like very much. Being still at a lowish level, it is very frustrating listening to Russians speaking quickly and swallowing syllables so often that I don't get the meaning, even though I probably know more words than I think.

On the other hand, it might mean that as a non-native, I can get away with a more sloppy pronunciation:)

Unfortunately not. Not any syllable or sound can be swallowed, and this happens in rapid
casual speech. In slow foreign speech it would sound funny.
