How to Listen 003 - Shadowing

Once we can hear the individual words in a foreign language, we can start to parrot them back as we hear them. This technique - knows as shadowing - gets you brain in gear in terms of hearing and pronouncing, as steps towards understanding and speaking.

I learned about shadowing from this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=130bOvRpt24

Have you made a video talking about why you became interested in Czech? I would like to hear the story. J

@jeremiah3754 In fact, yes. Look for my video called "Why do I live in Prague?"

One good way to start is to try shadowing in your native language to get a feel for it, then try it in your target language. Thanks for this video Mr. Lauder.

if you were interested, the Assimil program also comes in german to czech (Tschechisch ohne Mühe) as well as dutch, hungarian, and polish to czech. hopefully that opens up the assimil program to a few more people, its really a fantastic way to learn.

I wish people in Singapore had an interest in Czech. I can't get materials anywhere! And I'm 16, all I have is my own pocket money. That's not enough for anything.
