How to practice with it

Start by listening to the full conversation at normal speed. If lines move too quickly, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x and replay individual lines until you catch each word. Then shadow: play a line and repeat aloud immediately after the speaker. Finally, switch to speaking mode and read the lines yourself for pronunciation feedback. This listen, shadow, speak cycle builds both comprehension and production skills.
