Shadowing là phương pháp mà mọi người vẫn đang dùng để nâng cao khả năng nghe và nói. Chính mình củng đang học tiếng Nhật và mình thấy rằng với cách chia nhỏ các phần luyện nghe và lặp đi lặp lại sẽ giúp cho việc học trở nên trôi chảy hơn. Ngoài ra việc nghe lặp đi lặp lại nhiều lần từng phần nhỏ sẽ giúp chúng ta nghe và luyện nói theo dễ hơn. Bên cạnh đó trong app này mình còn cung cấp thêm tính năng tạo playlist để nghe. Đối với những bạn đã nghe được nhiều có thể lọc ra những bài muốn nghe sau đó nghe lặp đi lặp lại playlist. Chúc các bạn học tiếng Nhật tốt hơn với app này. Đồng thời củng cho mình xin thêm ý kiến để cải thiện và update app tốt hơn nhé !
