Two modes
Exact repeat
Match words and order. Best for lyrics, scripts, interview answers you prepared.
Sense repeat
Keep meaning, change wording. Best once exact mode feels easy—bridges to real conversation.
Exact repeat routine
- Play a short sentence.
- Pause.
- Say it three times.
- If you paraphrased accidentally, note which word drifted—repeat that word five times in isolation.
Connect to shadowing
Exact repeat builds accuracy; shadowing builds speed. Alternate days.
Connect to songs
Use line-by-line on a single chorus line as your exact target for the week.
FAQ
Is repeating “parrot learning”?
It is motor practice—the same reason pianists repeat scales. You still need free speaking elsewhere.
How long per day?
Five minutes of exact repeats + five minutes of free talk beats twenty minutes of vague repetition.
