⏱ 1 minute
A sentence, then one word
Say the sentence
After a correct answer, tap the microphone in the box and say the whole sentence. Green words came through, red ones didn't; the ring shows how much was heard.
Say one word
Tap a word, press Listen, then Say it. Each sound gets a colour, and a line names the sound to work on. The word card
A whole video
In Shadowing, you say every line right after the speaker.
The colours
Green
Heard clearly.
Brown
Understood, but not quite right. A sound that is close is brown too.
Red
Hard to understand. Press Listen, then try again.
Questions
Is it an accent grade?
No. It shows how easily a speech model understood you. Speaking softly, far from the microphone or with noise around lowers it too.
Which words are checked?
Names and sounds like “um” are grey and don't count. Words of one or two letters may not be checked, and a word heard as one that sounds the same (“mes” as “mais”) counts as understood.
How do I compare with a native speaker?
On the word card, Yours plays your take and Listen a native speaker. In a sentence, the ear next to the ring plays your take and Tab replays the video.
On the free plan
The microphones have a PRO tag; tapping one tells you about Pro. Shadowing's first 3 lines of every video are free.
