Lanterns is a good choice for confident learners looking for more realistic and demanding listening practice. The pace feels realistic without being constantly overwhelming, with an average speaking rate of around 102 words per minute. Learners will hear plenty of useful natural English, but some lines may still require a second listen. Some parts may require more focus, but the main story remains easy to follow. For learners around B2/C1, this can be a practical choice for building confidence with more complex narratives.
