2. Sometimes slow replay works for me

I'm learning Spanish. When I watch Netflix or YouTube, I will turn the speed down to .75. I can't always follow the audio, but it gives me time to read the subtitles.
I also listen to a lot of audio books so I turn the speed up to 1.25 as a rule. If the book is due back soon, sometimes I turn it up to 1.5 or even double speed For some narrators it's easy to understand and sometimes they just sound funny.

Best regards,
Sorghum Crow
