definitely takes a few weeks of slowly increasing speed. 2.5x is probably my fastest comfort level really. I realized 3x is mainly reserved for something I want to skim through and lightly absorb. (or when a writer is just not so good). I think learning to speed-read audio books is one of the most efficient methods of learning (depending on the book of course). it sounds funny at first but your brain adjusts with practice

oh yeah, will probably take a lot more practice for a non-native to grasp all the language as a spoken word at such speed.
otherwise i’ll lose my place and have to constantly rewind 💜
I figure if you can at least comfortably make it up to 2x, you’re cutting the time it takes to get through a book in half. after years of reading, that can really add up
