Thank you for the correction! I must have missed your comment when you posted it, but now, four years later, Iā€™m referring to this article in a podcast and saw your comment. I always appreciate help with fixing mistakes!

Someone who has over-imbibed is just at “drunk”. Yes, it’s nitpicking, but in the absence of an editor, you’ll have to put up with me. šŸ˜€

For more advanced learners, try the app ā€å¾—到ā€œ by ē½—č¾‘ę€ē»“ā€˜s presenter ē½—čƒ–. You can download tonnes of little free snippets of audio talking about various interesting topics betwen 3-5 mins each. The audio can also be slowed down to 0.7x speed instead of the more common 0.5x speed, which makes a world of difference (as in the narrator sounds chilled out, not drunk!).

If you do intend on slowing the audio though, I would advise you change the settings to only download the guest narrators audio as ē½—čƒ–ā€™s 安徽 accent makes him hilariously inebriated.

Here’s the best part: You can download everything and play it over and over, and also read any article you’re listening to at the same time.

This might be something you’d like to use yourself Ollie, if you aren’t already. It’s been very useful to me as a source of truly engaging advanced content on the go.

It is quite simple and effortless yet also quite different from other apps. It is currently available as an add-on for Google Chrome. https://flipword.co/

Good point! I’ll wait a bit longer until there are more suggestions for things I have missed and then update the article.

You can find a video demo in the app store listing: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.embermitre.hanping.app.popup

Thanks!
