Second way:

2. Use Shadowing technicque.
A technique called shadowing is a good way to work on your pronunciation, rhythm and intonation. Shadowing is a technique where you practice repeating after the speaker as soon as possible. This is different than a normal listen and repeat technique. Don’t wait and listen to the whole sentence and then repeat. You want to repeat as soon as possible almost at the same time as the speaker.
