## What is Shadowing Korean?

Speak Korean, don't just read it.

The official app of the Shadowing Korean YouTube channel.

Shadowing Korean helps you prepare for TOPIK by listening to natural Korean sentences and repeating them out loud: the shadowing method. Every sentence gets a pronunciation score, so you know right away how close you are.

6,000+ sentences, all with recorded audio
• 2,240 TOPIK sentences for Levels 1-6 in 112 topics: from greetings and the café (Level 1) to proverbs, debate and essay writing (Levels 5-6)
• TOPIK Speaking: model answers for all 6 task types plus answer skills (opening, reasons, comparing, wrapping up)
• EPS-TOPIK work & life: 900 sentences in 45 topics (safety signs, work instructions, reporting problems, pay, dorms, hospitals, immigration)
• Short dialogues: 147 two-voice conversations, including casual speech (banmal) from bosses and friends
• Grammar lessons from beginner to advanced: 1,800+ sentences linked to the Shadowing Korean website guides
• Each sentence shows its key grammar point and its meaning in your language
• All sentences are newly written for practice, not copied from past exams

Listen, repeat, get scored
• Listen at native speed or slowly
• See how each sentence really sounds (e.g. 한국어를 [한구거를])
• Say it out loud and see which syllables you missed
• Three stars per sentence: slow > normal speed > without the text

Review
• Hard sentences and your saved words come back at the right time
• Review quiz: listen and pick the meaning, or write what you hear
• Daily goal and streak

Videos & Hangul
• Shadowing Korean YouTube lessons and 1-minute theory shorts
• Stroke-order tracing for all 40 consonants and vowels
