Shadow English
Learn English by shadowing native speakers, with AI as your coach
About the project
Shadow English is a mobile app that teaches English using the shadowing technique (imitating native speakers) combined with AI as a personal coach.
The problem
Traditional English apps (Duolingo, Babbel) are games that give the illusion of progress without actually teaching you to speak. In-person courses are expensive and rigid. The result: thousands of Latin Americans who know grammar but can’t hold a conversation.
Our solution
Shadow English applies the proven shadowing method with the power of modern AI:
- Listen to a native speaker say a phrase in real context.
- Repeat mimicking their intonation, rhythm, and pronunciation.
- Get instant feedback from AI on what to improve.
- Iterate until your pronunciation approaches native level.
Results
