The method

Shadowing, as interpreters train it, crossed with the audio-course idea of answering before the model voice. Nothing to memorise; everything to say out loud.

1. Listen before you read

The first time you meet a sentence there is no text on screen. Reading first turns a speaking drill into a reading drill.

2. Build from the end

Each sentence is rebuilt from its last few words, then a longer tail, then the whole line. Learners lose rhythm at the end of a sentence, so the end gets the most practice.

3. Speak in the silence

Every pause is sized for one full spoken repetition. Say it; whispering or thinking it does not train the muscles that speak.

4. Beat the voice

In recall rounds the first words appear and the answer follows a few seconds later. Trying to produce it first, even wrongly, is what makes it stay.

5. Shadow along

Twice a session you say every sentence together with the voice at natural speed. Repeating after is for building; speaking with is for fluency.

6. Pen and paper, last

A short dictation closes each session, after the speaking is done, so spelling practice never replaces speaking practice.

7. Spaced returns

Sentences come back in later sessions, just as they begin to fade.
