Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. Each line shows synchronized hanzi, pinyin, and English so you can follow along. If a line feels too fast, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x and replay individual lines until the rhythm clicks. Then shadow: play a line and repeat it aloud, matching the speaker's pace. Finally, switch to speaking mode and read lines yourself — you'll get pronunciation feedback on each attempt.
