Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. If the pace feels fast, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x and replay individual lines until you catch each word. Next, shadow the audio — read along aloud, matching the speaker's rhythm and intonation. Then switch to speaking mode: read each line yourself and get pronunciation feedback from Mei Lin. Listening is free without an account, so you can return anytime.
