  1. Actually, I'd like this Slow-n-Loud program to apply to the natives of a country.
    There I am, with tiny grip on the local language, asking for two sandwiches and water (pointing besides speaking involved)
    The local applauds my attempt, but then replies in a machine gun barrage that is apparently one long word.
    Sigh.
