Which practice material is this from? Does the material definitely contain this or is this how it sounded to you?
Of course, it should be 'we are kind of ...' but it would be said 'we're' - fast and unstressed. So it's possible it sounded very like just 'we' alone.
But if you're sure this is really what it said (from a transcript for example), you should probably stop using this resource for your practice. It's not reliable.
