lunchtime shadowing practice. also keep reviewing during the day the days before but not tracking well but the dialogues are short enough to remember the next day. This does feel like I am actively using things known and good system. I found it so hard to do last year but now it's more comprehsible it is a lot easier to shadow. Its also helping my listening where have assumed I heard for example 住在 but it was actually 就在 its just sometimes so subtle that I am filling in the blanks thinking I heard it when I didnt 😂 Something to improve might be to choose dialogues based on topic I want to work on e.g work, food, etc
