Shadow — the English shadowing app to improve pronunciation and speak like a native
Shadow is an English shadowing app for iPhone and Android. You listen to real native speech and
repeat it in real time to improve your pronunciation, reduce your accent, build spoken fluency and
expand your active vocabulary — so you start talking like a native speaker.
What is shadowing?
Shadowing is a proven language-learning technique: you copy a native speaker out loud, line by line,
matching their rhythm, stress and intonation. Practising this way every day trains your ear and mouth
together and is one of the fastest ways to sound natural in English.

How can I reduce my accent in English?
The most effective way to reduce an accent is to imitate native speakers out loud every day. With the Shadow app you shadow real native audio, matching the exact sounds, stress and intonation, so your speech gradually sounds more natural and less foreign.
How do I improve my English pronunciation?
Practice pronunciation by repeating after native speakers and comparing your version to theirs. Shadow lets you play a phrase, shadow it in real time, and repeat it until it matches, which trains accurate English pronunciation through daily practice.
How can I build fluency in spoken English?
Fluency comes from speaking, not just reading. Shadow gives you short daily shadowing sessions with real speech so you rehearse natural phrasing and rhythm, which builds spoken English fluency over time.
How can I expand my active English vocabulary?
Shadowing real conversations exposes you to natural phrases and collocations and makes you say them out loud, which moves words from passive recognition into active use. Shadow is built around real speech so you expand your active vocabulary while you practice speaking.
Is Shadow available on iPhone and Android?
Yes. Shadow is available on both iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).
