Start by listening to the full dialogue at normal speed. If lines go by too fast, slow playback to 0.5x or 0.75x, or replay individual lines. Then shadow each line aloud, matching the speaker's rhythm, and switch to speaking mode to read lines and get pronunciation feedback. This listen → shadow → speak cycle builds real conversational reflexes. You can also try free Chinese listening practice with AI dialogues for more sessions.
