The timer
| Minute | Task |
|---|---|
| 0:00–0:45 | Listen to the clip only (20–40s looped if needed) |
| 0:45–2:15 | Shadow continuously—prioritize staying with audio |
| 2:15–3:30 | Shadow stressed words only |
| 3:30–4:15 | Chorusing: speak in gaps between phrases |
| 4:15–5:00 | Solo: say one phrase three times without audio |
Picking today’s clip
Same clip three days in a row before you switch. Familiarity is the secret.
Success criteria
You win if you finish the solo step—even if it sounded rough. Rough + finished beats perfect + skipped.
Level-ups (optional)
- Week 2: increase speed toward 1.0×
