Shadowing
Speaking along with real podcasts: modes, settings and tips.
How do I start shadowing an episode?
Open an episode, start shadowing and choose Sync or Segment mode, then speak along with the speaker. Sync and 1-sentence segments are free.
What’s the difference between Sync and Segment shadowing?
Sync lets you speak along with the audio as it plays. Segment plays 1, 2 or 3 sentences, then pauses so you can repeat them.
How can I get more out of shadowing?
Pick episodes slightly above your level, work in short segments, slow the speed at first, repeat hard sentences and practise a little every day.
