How to practice with it

Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. Each line displays synchronized hanzi, pinyin, and English so you can follow along. If a line goes too fast, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x, or replay individual lines until the sentence clicks.

Next, shadow the audio: read each Mandarin line aloud right after the speaker. This builds your ear for natural rhythm at HSK 4 pace.

Finally, switch to speaking mode and read the lines yourself. You will get pronunciation feedback on each attempt, helping you refine tones and clarity.
