There have been a few threads which have briefly mentioned working with mp3 audio of dialogues that were increased in speed. I'm wondering if slowing dialogues down would have any benefit for a beginner in a foreign language. Do you think this would aid in a person hearing the phonemes of the language and maybe more clearly identify specific sounds that the learner "can't hear."

In the beginning it's obviously good to hear the sounds clearly produced, preferably with explanations where to put the tongue, how to move your lips et.c. After that I see no reason to listen to slow dialogues. The point of listening to natural ("fast") speech is of course to hear the sounds as intended, to get a feel for rhythm, and possibly practice listening comprehension and/or shadowing.
