how to do shadowing in english step by step
Four passes over one clip. Listen once without speaking and stop where meaning slips. Then read a transcript slice for the first and last ten seconds only.
Four passes over one clip. Listen once without speaking and stop where meaning slips. Then read a transcript slice for the first and last ten seconds only. Third, shadow at 0.9 speed with the audio running, trailing the speaker by about one syllable rather than repeating after them; when a line such as I have been working here for two years. collapses, rewind ten seconds instead of restarting. Fourth, shadow at full speed, then almost inaudible, which shows what your mouth kept.
If your material comes from a news bulletin, keep the four passes but shorten the third one: news is read at a steady pace, so it suits a single 0.9 speed pass better than an unscripted clip does. Write down the three moments where you lost the thread and shadow only those ten-second windows for the rest of the session.
