Oh wow I've been after something like this for a long time. It's awesome because it's relevant content (news) but at a pace that beginners can follow. I don't know Spanish but knowing French, I could follow along the super slow mode and not feel lost.

Going to look for this in German and Chinese, I wonder if there's something similar.

Danke :)
You can slow down Youtube videos without it distorting the audio. I've found it more helpful to use subtitles in the target language, though.
Anyone know of this for Dutch?
It’s not quite like News In Slow French, but you might like https://www.nedbox.be/. They sometimes refer to the easier to grok content from the Belgian public broadcaster, https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/rubrieken/klaar/. Perhaps most similar is http://www.wablieft.be/nl/krant with text and audio at two levels of proficiency.
