Shadow English Podcast

Welcome to the unique and engaging Shadow English Podcast! In each episode, I'll share my thoughts on various topics, which may not seem entirely original in the world of podcasts. However, the distinct feature of this podcast lies in the opportunity for listeners to shadow me line-by-line. This podcast is specifically designed for non-native English speakers looking to enhance their listening and, most importantly, speaking abilities. First, listen to the episode, then listen again and shadow me line-by-line. This is a great way to build up your speaking confidence!
