Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
The average person speaks at a rate of about 125-150 words per minute, while listeners can process spoken words at a rate of up to 450-500 words per minute. The difficulty in listening often stems from factors such as distractions, lack of interest, or the listener's preconceptions, rather than the speed of speech.
