Shadowing Chinese means listening to a native speaker and repeating each sentence right after them, matching the tones, Pinyin and rhythm. Because Mandarin is tonal, copying the pitch contour matters as much as the consonants and vowels. Practising tone by tone, sentence by sentence, builds accurate, natural-sounding Mandarin pronunciation.
