Someone actually put in a comment saying that his Dutch pronunciation is "extremely good"! I can't tell. I don't know dutch. His Mandarin sounds a bit weird, but his writing is ok. I think shadowing can only be done when you can already speak a bit of the language. It might help to improve your fluency. Not sure if you are talking about the same video clip.

He advocates shadowing, but I couldn't help hating his Dutch accent. It's just so bad, and I wonder if he learned it by shadowing. If so, I believe shadowing is one of the worst methods for pronounciation. A while ago I watched a short movie of Professor Arguelles (of the How to learn any language forum) about Dutch.
