The reply took a while, but it basically is that they 'have no idea how to make the videos faster to view but good luck and enjoy'. So I haven't been utilizing them as often as I would be otherwise.
I have to say that some of the teachers do speak at a normal speed. It's the ones who are s-l-o-w or try to make it super cutesy that are annoying (I keep hoping I'm learning enough to pass the nutrition TECEP... sometimes I feel like the info is presented in a manner that would be age appropriate for my 5th grader). Or when they pronounce words oddly. For instance repeatedly saying the word "iron" as 'eye-Ron' instead of 'i-urn' ... or maybe that's a geographical pronunciation issue.
