Why is N silent when it comes at the end?

Hallo.

I found, while studying with some audio materials, N is mute when it comes at the end of some words, for example; koken. It still sounds like Koke* even when I repeated listening to it.
and 'Bonfrere', also sounds more like Bo*frere for me.
But I can't find anything about silent syllables in dutch text books.

Maybe just bad at listening?

You're right. In casual speech the "n" at the end of for example "koken" or "eten" is often omitted. It depends a little on the regional "dialect" though :)
