Listen · echo · speak

Train your ear and your voice together.

Work through five practical stages: understand the recording, repeat short thought groups, shadow with guidance, speak at natural speed, then record and compare.

What is shadowing?

Listen and speak with the model.

Shadowing means repeating French just after—or at the same time as—the speaker.

  • You hear French rhythm more clearly.
  • Your mouth practises natural sounds and word connections.
  • You speak more smoothly and confidently.
