Even at slow play speeds there is not enough time to say the word. All they are doing is reading a list of words at normal reading pace. Don't waste your time and money on this product.

From batting averages and political polls to game shows and medical research, the real-world application of statistics continues to grow by leaps and bounds. How can we catch schools that cheat on standardized tests? How does Netflix know which movies you'll like? What is causing the rising incidence of autism? As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.

Useless as a language tool. Save your money
Reviewed: 07-14-20
To much info to fast with no real context. Am going to return it. Save your money and get something else. Listening to Spanish radio would be about the same as this book. I really don't understand the high rating. I suspect if one had a good understanding of Spanish to start with this may be a good brush-up but for a new learner it is useless. The intro talks about how this is learning as little children learn but little children don't learn 10 word sentences made up of complex words.
The performance is poor, there is little inflection in the words.

Story
Sam Manicom's dynamic fourth book is an enticing yet frequently challenging motorcycle journey across the dramatic landscapes of Mexico, the United States and Canada. Sam's partner Birgit is no longer a novice motorcyclist - riding through southern Africa and South America turned her into a rider capable of facing any challenge. But Sam was worried. As they arrived into North America they had been travelling around the world by motorcycle for six years and he was beginning to think that North America was going to be easy; too easy in fact.

Story
Bertrand Russell wrote that mathematics can exalt "as surely as poetry". This is especially true of one equation: ei(pi) + 1 = 0, the brainchild of Leonhard Euler, the Mozart of mathematics. More than two centuries after Euler's death, it is still regarded as a conceptual diamond of unsurpassed beauty. Called Euler's identity, or God's equation, it includes just five numbers but represents an astonishing revelation of hidden connections.

This does not work as an audible book. Needs PDF
Reviewed: 04-18-20
There are pages and pages of equations the author goes over which would be OK if there was a PDF to look at but just as a spoken line it is gibberish. I suspect it is ploy to get you to buy the book also but really it is not worth it. You can get most of the same information on Google.
