Why Shadowing English

Less passive watching. More English you can actually say.

A good shadowing English routine needs precise timing and fewer distractions. This app is designed around one job: helping you hear a line, understand it, and say it back.

01 — YOUR MATERIALS

Learn from videos you care about

Import your own local video and subtitle files. Your study library stays yours; no bundled third-party course catalog is required.

02 — AI, IN CONTEXT

Get subtitles ready for practice

Generate AI subtitles with word-level timing where supported, then use them for more accurate, natural line-by-line practice.

03 — REPEAT WITH INTENTION

Stay with the sentence

Pause, replay, follow the subtitle, and switch on shadowing mode—without turning your practice into a generic flashcard drill.

How it works

From one local video to a repeatable shadowing habit.

The workflow is deliberately simple, so your attention stays on listening and speaking.
