      Hello Richard,

      Thank you for the suggestion, we might do exactly that in some future. We are already in the process of re-recording all the audios that were made before the New Year 2018, as they were too fast. Now we try to read the examples slower, so the words are clear, at the same time not too slow, so it sounds not so far from the conversational speech.

Do you have any questions? We are here to help!
