Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. If lines go by too quickly, slow playback to 0.75x or 0.5x and replay individual lines until you're comfortable. Then shadow each line — repeating aloud right after the speaker — and finally switch to speaking mode to read lines yourself and get pronunciation feedback.
