How do native speakers read "did an"?
He did an embarrassed little dance.
The student did an excellent job leading his group for the school project.
I have repeatedly listened to the sound example.
It sounds like "didn't" without the '’t'.
So its pronouncing symbol should be ['dɪdn].

1There should actually be very slightly more a in it than in 'didn't' without the 't'. It's subtle, but it's there. It's kind of half-way between didn & didan. the 2nd 'd' stays very soft, like didn't, but there's just a hint more 'a' behind it. – gone fishin' again. Jul 8 '18 at 7:30
