How to practice with it

Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. If lines go by too quickly, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x and replay individual lines until you catch every word. Then switch to speaking mode: read each line aloud and get pronunciation feedback. This listen, shadow, and speak cycle builds both comprehension and oral fluency.
