Not a separate website, but within the Fluenz program there is a button at the top. So there is the volume control, a "Music" on/off toggle, and a "Slow Sound" on/off toggle. Personally, I use the arrow keys a lot during the workouts. The up key repeats the phrase, and the down key displays the answer. In the "Write what you hear" exercises throughout the program, I have used this easy repeat button more than anything else to make sure that I sharpen my listening comprehension. The audio recordings, separate from the lessons, are also really helpful. I don't have as much of a problem with the speakers being too fast. I can't quite type as fast as they speak, but by the time I finished level 5 I was able to listen to and write the longer sentences without having the speaker repeat it.

Side Note: I can't believe I made it through 5 levels of Spanish and 2.5 levels of German without realizing there was a Music button! I went through all that in silence, and now I'm really curious what type of music it is.....=)

@zac hilliker, I know I marked this as solved but when I went back to the program I didn't see any of the options you referred to. No Slow Sound, No Volume, No Music or any other options. The arrow keys work as yoe said but no other options. I work on a Mac with OS OS 10.10.5 Yosemite. Would that make a dffference? I will repost and hope someone from Fluenz can help me.

@zac. None of those toggles are on my screen. the arrows work though.

@zac hilliker, OK, I found the toggles. I went to the main site and logged in and went to my latest position and there they were. I think the problem was I was using the app to access the lessons I have downloaded on my Mac. Although it probably shouldn't make a difference, it apparently does. I kind of like having the music on too. So, once again, muchos gracias.
