Built around the hard part

You understand English.
Now say it out loud.

Most apps train your ears. EZ Shadow trains your mouth, with feedback precise enough to tell you which word slipped.

Word by word, not a vague grade

Every word you say is matched against the real transcript: green when you nailed it, amber when it was close, red when it slipped.

Subtitles in your language

See each sentence translated into your native language right under the original, so you always know what you are saying.

Clips picked for your level

Start with hand-picked TED talks, street interviews and vlogs marked Beginner to Advanced, or paste any YouTube link.

A streak worth keeping

Practice time, day streak and your average score, all saved on your device. Sign in with Google to sync across phone and laptop.

Who it's for

If you freeze when you speak,
this is for you.

"I get it, I just can't say it."

Intermediate learners

You follow podcasts fine, but your mouth lags behind your ears. Shadowing closes that gap.

"I have an interview next month."

Job seekers and professionals

Drill the rhythm of real business talk until it comes out without thinking.

"Ten minutes on the train."

Busy people

One sentence takes seconds. The app picks up exactly where you left off.
