social media as I feel like I've become too addicted to it.

It depends on what kind of work we're talking about.

If it's something related to content creation, like being a YouTuber or a TikToker, I may wanna give it a go,
44
as it not only brings me fame but also loads of money.
45
However, if it's something complicated and requires in-depth knowledge about its own field, like a social media specialist

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
