An English lesson
Prompt (Korean)
어디 가세요?
Your video answers (English)
Where are you going?
For teachers
Turn your YouTube videos into interactive language lessons.
You publish on YouTube. Shadowing Player adds the learning experience: sentence practice, recall, random drills, quizzes on the video, and a way for students to track what they have mastered.
Teacher Studio is planned and not available yet.
Your video stays on YouTube
You do not upload video to Shadowing Player. A lesson is a small description of your video: where each sentence starts and ends, its translation, and any quiz questions. YouTube plays the video; the lesson tells the player what to do with it.
You
- Publish the video on your YouTube channel
- Describe it in a lesson: sentence timing, translations, quizzes
- Share the video with your students
Your students
- Open the same video on YouTube
- Practise sentence by sentence with your lesson
- Mark favorites and mastered sentences
What kind of lesson do you want to create?
Each kind asks something slightly different of the video. Pick one to see how to film and edit for it.
