Audio speed

Audio for the levels up to B1 is slower. B2 and C1 are true talking speed. But I remember having had the same request when I was at that stage. Trust me, though, your brain will adapt and start to catch on. It just takes a bit of patient and consistent practice.

Thanks for the words of encouragement but I honestly feel that my brain isn't naturally equipped for languages.  I'm still plodding on but progress is depressingly slow.  I reckon I'll be fluent in about 65 years time.
