Shadow Sprint — 90 sec English speaking game

About Shadow Sprint

Shadow Sprint is a fast English shadowing game. Each short line plays out loud while your mic is already listening - jump in and say it right along with the audio, not after it stops. Hard uses longer, faster lines in the same short window.

How to play

  1. Choose Easy, Medium or Hard, then choose Start speaking or Type instead - the line plays and your mic starts listening at the same time.
  2. Jump in as soon as you catch the rhythm - don't wait for the audio to finish.
  3. Choose Finish response when you've said it, then move to the next line.
  4. No microphone? Use Type instead and type the line back.
