One text. A useful next step.
Put the language into practice.
Stay with one text and work on what you need today.
Find the words you missed.
Listen to each sentence and type what you hear. Compare your answer with the text to see what needs another listen.
Make useful words your own.
Save words from the text to your dictionary. Come back to scheduled reviews and practise recalling them.
Shadowing means repeating just behind the audio. There is no microphone recording or automatic pronunciation score: you decide when repeating the text feels easier.
Try it. No account needed.
Choose a language, listen to a short text and repeat it aloud. Or switch to dictation and check what you heard.
Listen once. Then repeat aloud.
Press play and follow the highlighted words. Adjust the speed when you need more time.

Know what to practise. See the work you put in.
Your dashboard brings the next text, words due for review and recent activity together. Spend your time practising, instead of deciding where to start.
A starting point for today
Pick up a text at your level or return to one you were practising. Choose listening, dictation or vocabulary to suit the time you have.
Your effort stays visible
See your listening time, vocabulary reviews and practice days. Set a weekly goal that fits your life.
Notice what gets easier
Check your dictation results and record how comfortable you feel repeating a text. Your own assessment stays separate from the activity counts.
Practice history records what you have done. It is not a language-level test or a promise of fluency.
Make room for the language in your day.

Before you begin
LingoShade is for adults who want to practise independently. Texts are labelled A1–C2. If you are starting from zero, you may also need help with the alphabet and basic grammar; this is a practice tool, not a complete course.
English, German, Greek, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian and Chinese. You can try a beginner text in the demo above.
No. Shadowing means listening and repeating aloud just behind the speaker. LingoShade helps you follow and replay the audio, but does not record or assess your voice. You decide how comfortable repeating the text feels.
Your dashboard shows your recorded practice and vocabulary reviews. Dictations give feedback on your written answers, and you can record your own assessment of a text. These signals help you reflect on practice; they do not certify a language level.
Yes, in your phone’s browser. You use the same account for your dictionary and history. Native iOS and Android apps are still in development and are not available to download yet.
The demo on this page needs no account. A free account lets you start practising, save vocabulary and keep your history, subject to usage limits. You can review the available paid plans in your account. No payment card is needed to register.
The text library contains AI-generated practice material organised by level and topic. Audio uses synthesised voices, not recordings of conversations. AI-generated material can contain errors; use your judgement and report problems.
No. Choose the practice that fits your goal and the time you have. You can repeat the same text over several sessions, do a dictation or review words. There is no fixed programme you must follow.
Your next step can be one text.
Choose your language and level. Start listening, repeat a few sentences and take it from there.
