Questions before you start

What is shadow speaking?

Shadow speaking means listening to a short reference and repeating closely with the speaker. The aim is to practice connected speech, stress, rhythm, and pacing in context rather than pronouncing isolated words.

How should a beginner start shadow speaking?

Choose a short clip, listen once, then follow the transcript while speaking with the reference. Repeat the same passage several times, focusing on rhythm first and individual sounds only after the timing feels comfortable.
