Shadow real YouTube videos to learn a language
Practice shadowing with real YouTube videos in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and French. ShadowLingoApp pulls captions automatically (or lets you paste your own SRT/VTT), syncs them to the timeline, and lets you loop, slow down, and shadow individual lines.
Why shadow YouTube videos?
- Real-world speech — native speakers use the rhythm, slang, and intonation you'll actually hear in conversations.
- Endless variety — pick interviews, vlogs, news, or comedy in your target language.
- Line-by-line shadowing — loop a single sentence until your version matches.
- Adjustable speed — slow tough phrases down, then bring them back up to native pace.
How to get started
- Pick one of the featured videos or paste any YouTube URL.
- Choose a caption line, listen, and shadow the speaker out loud.
- Record yourself and review your pronunciation score.
