Ganbatte Shadowing

Ganbatte Shadowing is a powerful Chrome extension designed by IUJ professors to improve Japanese pronunciation through innovative shadowing techniques. It graphically displays the high-to-low pitch accents and waveforms of both model speakers and learners, allowing easy comparison and self-assessment.

The app offers three stages: Introduction with text and video explanations for beginners, Tasks featuring three difficulty levels and adjustable settings like script visibility and playback speed, and a My Portfolio section that records learner utterances over time to track improvement. This tool is ideal for learners aiming for precise and effective Japanese speaking skills.
