Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. If lines go by too quickly, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x, or replay individual lines until you catch every word. Next, shadow each line aloud — pause after a sentence and repeat what you heard, matching the speaker's rhythm.
When you're ready, switch to speaking mode: read lines aloud and get pronunciation feedback from Mei Lin. This listen-shadow-speak cycle builds both comprehension and production.
