So - I’m following instructions (!) and have listened to speed-listening exercises…5, 4, 3 and 2. I reckoned we were supposed to find them progressively easier as we moved backwards. My findings are…4 is definitely easier than 5. 3 is near normal speed and 2 is absolutely and without doubt a recording made at normal speed. Crikey Moses!

It’s worth listening to the sports roundups on Radio Cymru News as these are squeezed in to a narrow slot, so talking is fairly high speed. Also the traffic bulletins if there is a lot happening. Also, great for hearing about Skewen and Llandarsi 
Ooh, someone’s synapses have been changing gear…

listening at a gallop now, and unbelievably, am recognising words ! The first time I heard the double speed panic set in, but just listening to the third exercise and am so very surprised at what I do understand without really trying to translate, its magic !
