What is Shadowing?

Shadowing is the practice of listening to the sounds of a target language, and then repeating back what they say.

Because you have a native teacher saying the words, you can accurately notice differences between your pronunciations. You're able to create a feedback loop that aligns your pronunciation with theirs.

How to shadow well

While the audio is playing, say the words as the native speaker says it.
You can then innately compare your output with theirs, and pick up on any differences.

Before You Shadow

We don't recommend shadowing unless you're familiar with the sounds of the language. If you can't accurately hear the sounds of the speaker, you won't be able to accurately understand the differences between your speech and theirs.

Before You Shadow

Tomás tiene un café y camina hacia la mesa, pero la taza está muy llena. De repente, el café salta y cae en los zapatos de Tomás.

—¡Oh, no! —dice él.

Lucía mira los zapatos mojados y se ríe mucho. —No es un problema —dice Tomás con mucha calma. Sus zapatos están muy, muy mojados, pero él sonríe.
