Trick to slow down audio recordings
Hi guys,
the following trick has served me well to understand sentences in that are spoken very fast and I also practiced pronunciation with it.
The cross-platform program Audacity allows to slow down an audio recording by an arbitrary amount (say 30% for example) without changing the pitch.
Just load your audio file into Audacity, select Effects->Change Tempo and select -30%.
Afterwards one can select several seconds of interest and press 'l' to loop this segment over and over again automatically.

Language pair: English; All
