[@theblackfingernail2565]

Sorry , But the way you are talking I just can not watch your video

[@thelegalenglisher]

What's the exact issue?

[@user-fs8lz9re2q]

Its way too slow, im watching now and put it at 1.25x speed sounds much better.

[@thelegalenglisher]

@@user-fs8lz9re2q Great - this is quite an early podcast episode - I wasn't sure how slow to do it for language learners! The newer ones are faster, but at least you solved the issue with the 1.25x speed. :)

she is speaking clearly, and slowly. that is GOOD. this is a classroom lesson. this is correct way of speaking when you want to teach something that listener learns something and keep it in their memory, it is not for entertainment amd amusement. so, 100% correct way of teaching. your criticism is unsound. you are judged to be decapitated. write your will. be ready to depart to the next world.
