When I'm shadowing (I'm not doing this these days but plan to get back to it at some stage), I take one line at a time and practice it until I can hear no differences between my output and the shadowing source. That typically takes me .5 - 1 hr, depending on how complex the phrase is. The next stage is to be able to repeat the phrase by myself only. When I can do that, I noticed that I can remember the phrase for a prolonged time without practicing... or maybe I'm cheating myself because whenever I playback those phrases in my head, which can happen at various times (while taking shower, driving, during a boring meeting, etc.), I actually do those repetitions.
