I have the second book and it seems a bit harder than the first one, in the last units you have huge texts to shadow.
I'm a little limited on what time is concerned, so I don't shadow as much as nor as I wanted, I pretty much follow the 1st book's instructions (and just to let you know, the second book has much better and detailed explanations than the first one).
1. Listen to the track for 10-15 minutes always repeating out loud.
2. Repeat that in the following days, doing the same for the previous tracks, but all in a row, like I choose 5 tracks and listen to them and repeat them for 15-30-45 minutes/day (5-6 days a week).
Sometimes I shadow without paying attention.
But anyway, I'm going to shadow until December (and will continue after that, but this is my shadowing goal - December)
I only add the vocab I don't those set phrases they have there into anki, like 口は災いの元だね。
