The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast even for advanced students

The sample sentences in all of the lessons are too fast when the sentences are long and complex, even for advanced students. I have to use a separate text to speech app at a slightly reduced speed in order to fully understand them. They are not just speaking at normal speed, but at a very high speed. (In my considered opinion)
thank you, James

Hola James,

I am sorry to hear that you find the audios too fast. We try to adapt the speed to each level, but as these are automated voices sometimes it is a bit difficult. From now on we will do an extra check to make sure this doesn't happen. However, bear in mind that for levels B2 and C1 we need to speed them up, according to the high level, though.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Saludos

Inma

Believe me, I understand. However, fast is fast, but this is more than fast. And as I said, it applies only to those sentences that are long and complex, i.e., more than 8 words.

Thank you, Inma

Hi James,

If you tell me in which specific lesson you found this speedy audios I can double check and adapt.

Hola Inma,

Deseo de que podría hacerlo pero, infortunadamente, no es posible a hacer lo que tú preguntas porque hay demasiadas instancias de este problema. No tengo bastante tiempo a registrarlos.

I realize when I raise an issue like this that you can not help without locating the specific instances, but I still feel a need to report my experience. I hope you don't mind.

Muchas gracias por tu atención.
