English Speaking Practice
Practise speaking English out loud with real YouTube videos — shadow native speakers line by line, record your voice, and get instant pronunciation scores. Free.
Start speaking — it's freeThe hardest part of learning English isn't grammar — it's actually opening your mouth and speaking. TryShadowing solves that with shadowing: instead of just listening, you speak along with a native speaker in real time, copying their exact rhythm, stress and melody. Because you practise with real talks, lessons and conversations from YouTube — not scripted textbook audio — the English you build is the English people actually use. Record yourself, compare against the original, and get a word-by-word pronunciation score so you always know what to work on next. A few minutes a day rewires how you speak: your accent softens, your pace becomes natural, and words start coming out without translating in your head first.
