The message . com
from "ting" contains these words:

I am a Chinese boy,I find it hard to learn English,especiall audition,
I want to know:do you english-speaking can hear every word somebody
speaks with whom you talk?thank you for helping me.

Trust me, this is the same the world over. I deliberately slow down when
talking to people who are struggling with the language, but I sure they
don't do the same for me!

The French in particular seem to speed up as much as possible.
