Learn to sound German with Shadow
Practise speaking German: Shadow plays a sentence from a YouTube video, you say it back and see which words you got right. Six ready videos, free.
How it works
- Pick a ready video or paste any German YouTube link.
- Listen to one sentence.
- After three short beeps, say it back — every word is scored.
- Repeat until it sounds right, then move on to the next sentence.
In Chrome or Edge on a computer, Shadow writes the sentences of any video in your browser while it plays; nothing is uploaded.
