New name, same shadowing practice! This podcast used to be called &#34;Mondd Utánam,&#34; but since that phrase actually means &#34;say it after me&#34; — the opposite of what shadowing asks you to do — I&#39;ve renamed it Shadowbox to better reflect the technique: speaking along with the recording, not after it.This episode&#39;s sentences use vocabulary and grammar inspired by one of my recent story videos. If you&#39;ve watched &#34;Balázs ajándékot szeretne adni&#34; on YouTube, some of these words will feel familiar! If not, check it out on this link:https://youtu.be/dDqGKud_0mUHow to use this episode: try to speak each sentence at the same time as the recording, matching the rhythm and pronunciation as closely as you can, don&#39;t wait for a pause to repeat it back. It feels strange at first, but it&#39;s really useful in developing a more natural speech.
