The best way to overcome this hurdle on WiZiQ or on other online platforms is to ask the teacher for a free "trial" run in the Virtual Classroom.

I have experienced this in my online classes. For me, the best remedy is to speak slowly and continuously check if the listeners are able to understand the tacher or not.

I agree with you Namrata. Their pronounciations are too hard to understand. And surely their speed, as you said is really too much.
