Fast talking?
I paid a couple of visits to www.LoMasTv.com
Tried out the free videos, the first is a song and was pretty nice to understand at my level.
However, the second free video is about an orphan girl who we see playing football, and I find most of the speech on this video incredibly fast, although it is rated as 1/5 for difficulty.
I slowed it down, which helped a little, but I really needed the text underneath for most of it :/ Is it only because I am so new, or is her speech truly very rapid? The priest is pretty fast too.
It's a bit frightening!!

I haven´t watched the video but you should not worry if video rating seems deceptive. Any second language sounds incredibly fast in the first stages for most people. Even native Spanish speakers might find hard to understand fast speech from other countries, and difficulties are also related to group age and sociocultural level.
keep your pace and you will get there in due time. Don´t be frightened.

The video you are talking about, Muñeca Brava, is actually rated at a level of 4/5 on LoMásTv -- have another look at the demo and you will see.
