I highlight two major issues with shadowing: the difficulty in knowing if you're pronouncing words correctly and the risk of fossilization from repeated mistakes. To address these, I emphasize the importance of modeling and scoring in our course, allowing you to practice and receive feedback. I encourage you to engage with the audio exercises, listen carefully, and aim for accurate pronunciation. Remember, it's okay if you don't achieve a perfect score right away; the goal is to improve your skills.
