How do I do shadowing in English?

Choose a short clip, make sure you understand it, then play it without the transcript and speak along from the first word. Repeat the same clip a few times, record one attempt, and compare it with the speaker. Then move on to a new clip.

A short session can be this simple: listen once, check the transcript, put it away, shadow the clip a few times, and record one attempt. Then write down one detail to fix, such as a dropped word, and aim for it in the next round.
