Lang Shadow: English Shadowing

Shadow Shorts, podcasts and more. Every word you say gets scored on the spot.

HOW IT WORKS You hear a real line of English, you say it back out loud, and you find out straight away how close you got. That's the whole app, and five minutes a day is enough.

PRACTICE SHADOWING • Play a line, say it back, and see how close you got • If it goes by too fast, drop it to 0.8x or 0.6x and let your mouth catch up • Record your own voice over the clip, then play it back and hear yourself in it • Stop whenever you need to, and when you come back you'll be on the line you left • When a line is worth owning, save it and you'll always find it again

CHECK YOUR PRONUNCIATION • Every line gets three scores: accuracy, fluency, and how much of it you got out • Every word gets its own color, so the one that let you down is obvious at a glance • Tap that word and you'll hear it said properly, and see the sound you missed • All the sounds of English sit on one screen, sorted into good, okay and needs work • Open any sound and we'll walk you through where your tongue and lips need to be • One clarity score sums it up, and it climbs as you keep practicing

SHORTS • Real short videos, subtitled in English and in your own language at the same time • Follow a channel if you have a favorite, or just wander through a category • Search, history and favorites are all there, so nothing you liked goes missing

PODCASTS • Real episodes, with every word written out so you can follow along • Watch the video, or put the screen away and just listen • It keeps playing while you cook, walk or commute, and there's a sleep timer

ROLE PLAY • Order the coffee, meet the client, get yourself through the job interview • The other person answers you back and keeps the conversation moving • Pick one of the replies you're offered, or say something of your own

GOALS • Choose something you genuinely need English for, and work toward it step by step • Every step gives you four speaking games before the next one opens • Reach the end and the certificate is yours to keep

HOW TO TALK • Say or type what you actually need to say, in your own language • It comes back to you in English, in whichever tone you choose: casual, professional, confident, storytelling or for kids • Read it out loud line by line, and the score comes in as you go • Film yourself saying it, then watch it back whenever you like

DAILY WORD GAME • One quick round a day, over before you know it • New words come up alongside the ones that tripped you up before • And they keep coming back until they stop tripping you up

LEARN IN CHUNKS • Tap any phrase you like the sound of, anywhere in a transcript • You get how to say it, what it means and an example, all in your own language • It saves itself, and it finds you again later in the word game

MADE FOR YOU • Set your language once and every line arrives with a translation beside it • Tell us what you do and what you're into, and your practice leans that way • You choose the time of day you'd like a nudge

STREAK • One scored line a day is all it takes to keep your streak alive • And on the days when life gets in the way, Plus freezes it for you

LEADERBOARD • Every Monday everyone is back at zero, so it's never too late to climb • There are daily missions, and a reward just for turning up • Badges collect quietly along the way

YOUR LEVEL • A short conversation is enough to place you somewhere between A1 and C2 • You get one overall score, plus pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary and coherence • And if it doesn't match what you know about yourself, set it by hand

START FREE Practicing every day is free. Plus lifts the daily limits and opens your score history.
