Has anyone ever used the "shadowing" technique for learning English?
I was watching some videos about how to improve your fluency, rhythm and intonation in English. And I found out this nice tehcnique named "Shadowing" where you listen to some English and you repeat it at the same time. So doing this you train your ear to listen very carefully the way that things are said, and also the number of pauses that are used in speech.
I started to try this tehcnique, hoping to get good results. Now, I'd like to know if anyone out there has tried this technique as well as if it worked for you guys.
Thanks in advance..

Hi
I tried this technique once. It was very difficult. I just mumbled after audio. Actually, I think that it is necessary to train more and more. It seems to me, it can work.

I have heard of this technique too but I haven't tried it yet. Perhaps this weekend I can try it with Indonesian. Let me know how it works for you. :)

Yes, it is very good, especially if you want to lose or change your accent. The secret is to switch your thinker off, and focus on the sounds you hear (not the words). you can see more about it in my site www.dailymotion.com/englishwithjoseph
