Look at the bottom left of the Audacity project window and make sure that "Snap to" is not checked.

Go to the Preferences (press Control+P), then select the fifth tab, and you should see 3 drop-down menus, click the middle one and select english.
Include as much details as you can in your post (Audacity version, Operating System, Equipment used, etc).
Please post your question in the appropriate forum (regarding audacity version and operating system).

You can use Effect > Change Speed to apply a speed change to the track waveform.

Have you tried Help > Manual (in web browser)?

Oh, well that's a lot easier than applying those chain things that some website told me to do in order to change speed and such.
Thank you and adieu
