A second-rack bagel that's nearly first-rack. Tasty stuff.
Summary
AI Shadowing is a free tool that lets language learners shadow YouTube videos by clicking any sentence to loop it and any word for AI grammar explanations, eliminating the need to scrub the progress bar or use a dictionary. Built by a self-taught German learner who went from A0 to A2 in 3-4 months using the shadowing technique, the tool is available on browser and Android with no signup required.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI went from German A0 to A2 in about 3-4 months by shadowing native YouTube videos, 30-45 min a day.
The technique works — I got to where I could follow casual dinner chitchat with my friend's parents.
AI Shadowing is the tool I built for myself — a way to use YouTube for language learning without the friction that nearly made me quit twice.
