    I’m trying to learn Spanish, I understood almost everything Gwyneth said, and almost nothing the interviewer said. Not sure if it’s word selection, but non natives always deliberately fully pronounce each word which makes it so much easier to hear.

      Yeah Gwyneth does speak very clearly and slower than a native in this interview, although fluently and with a Madrid/Toledo accent. You’ll get there with the interviewer and natural native speakers in general, it’s just about regular exposure to the speed and omissions.
