Shadowing for a Better World

Shadowing is a learning technique where you listen to a text in your target language, and then repeat it aloud right after the speaker, so that you become his/her shadow.

You play the video, and after one sentence or two pause it to repeat the words that you just heard with a minimum delay. Then you write down the words on a piece of paper. Finally, play the video and read the words confidently at the same time as the speaker. You can do this as you walk around the house... the point is that you repeat the exacts words in the exact same manner as the speaker.

So, here's my proposal to get started in this new technique: Become the shadow of Patch Adams. Patch Adams is an American physician, social activist, clown, and author who has some really interesting ideas to share with us about living in a healthy world.

NOTE: Please, don't do this for more than 2 minutes at a time, we should start doing this little by little to avoid frustration.

"I want a world where no one alive can remember what the word war means..."
