I bet the man has a thick English accent, witch means that I couldn't quite catch what he is saying. As for the woman, I think that she's speaking clearly.
However, with patience and persistence, I 'll make it ! 
Thanks a bunch to this site.

Hi,
Learner like me, you can't understand any think in that video. they are both so fast, speaking quickly. Without the transcript, that's a disaster.
Man.

Hello Manasset!
 
If you're having trouble with these videos, remember that you can download the transcript under the 'Instructions and Downloads' link or see it by clicking on the transcript tab by the tasks. If the video is still too fast, then come back to it later. We have lots of other listening material for you to practice with Why not try our Word on the Street videos or our Elementary Podcasts? You might find these easier!
 
Regards

Thank you very much, It's been 2 weeks that I know the application on smartphone and now that I discover the site, I can't get enough of listening and learn more every day. I want to learn english and speak it very well for study in England more later. I hope !
