唱对话 dialog karaoke
Reading is quiet practice. These are the loud kind: short everyday dialogs where the hanzi are colored by tone, carry their pinyin overhead, and light up character by character in time with the audio. Listen through, take one of the two roles in duet mode, or echo each line back and play your take against the model.
