<h4>Our characters DON'T speak at a regular speed, just like native speakers among themselves. Why?</h4>
They speak natural German. But we put in countless hours of work to direct every voice actor so that he or she speaks a bit slower and more clearly, adapted to the language level. You can always speed up the audio in the app. We believe this is the better way. Just as we believe that at the beginning, training wheels teach a child to ride a bike better than bruises from falls. If you want know why we spent over 1 1/2 years of work before we even published our first lesson, go to https://www.german-stories.com/the-best-way-to-learn-german
