I tried watching HPI[0], but she talks really quickly. Maybe I should try again.

Yea, Spanish and French (well, Parisian) often suffer from that blight =)

Perhaps try slowing down the video?

Also, there is a French / German public broadcaster called Arte. They have amazing content (documentaries, concerts, etc). Generally things where the Words Per Minute rate is a lot lower.

One of my favorite shows is Karambolage. 20 minute items about French and German culture, spoken in perfect French at a leisurely speed.
