Let’s review: in the previous e-mails you learned: to practice minimal pairs in order to differentiate similar sounds to pay attention to the “music” (rhythm of stress) in words/sentences to speak faster & more continuously by linking or connecting words Today I’m going to teach you how to do “shadowing.” It works like this: Get an audio recording + transcript of a native speaker talking at normal speed. Listen to ONLY the first sentence (or phrase), then pause the audio and try to repeat the phrase exactly, imitating the native speaker’s rhythm and the “flow” of the words Continue – listen, pause, repeat after each phrase
