Usage tips

    Sitcoms (like 'Friends' or 'The Office') are vastly superior to Sci-Fi/Fantasy for language learning because the dialogue matches everyday real-life situations.

Frequently asked questions

Will shadowing actually fix my accent?

Yes. Shadowing forces your mouth muscles to adapt to the new language's unique phonetics and 'melody' rather than just reading words on a page.
