Shadowing-Übung: Exposing a $300,000,000 Scam - Englisch Sprechen Lernen mit Video
Lektion wird erstellt...
1
My God -given gift was that people are attracted to me.
2
People just naturally gravitate towards me.
3
My circle of influence started growing so natural.
4
Today, we're investigating one of the hardest cases of my career, a $300 million private equity company called Goliath Ventures, where the CEO was taking private planes,
5
buying Rolls Royces, expensive mansions while claiming that the whole thing was audited, backed 115%.
6
They even took retiree money.
7
I mean, what could go wrong?
8
And when I was called to investigate them six months ago, I really had no idea what I was stepping into.
9
Little did I know, this would be one of the toughest cases of my career.
10
So the first time I ever heard about Goliath was actually from another journalist.
11
My name is Danny DeHick and I've been investigating Goliath Ventures since the 1st of September 2025.
12
That's Danny.
13
He's a journalist who's been featured by the New York Times
14
and he told me Goliath was a company that had hundreds of millions of dollars invested and something just didn't feel right.
15
So my first question to him was, well, who runs this thing?
16
The man behind it all Christopher Delgado today's guest is someone real special my friend
17
when I heard your story I just zoned into it.
18
I'm like I have to have this gentleman on my podcast Not one person
19
and I did my I do my research my team does a lot of research We call people
20
and not one individual came back negative Chris welcome.
21
Thank you for having me KB Chris Where you come from?
22
I'm originally from California.
23
I'm first -generation Mexican -American My mom was born in Auslanthus, Mexico.
24
She came over here in her early teens.
25
We grew up in a trailer park in Fontana, California.
26
I'm just gonna draw a picture for y 'all.
27
You're on social media.
28
I follow them very closely.
29
Private Jet.
30
You see the celebrities.
31
You see Patrick David standing next to you at the Yankee Stadium.
32
But you come from a trailer park.
33
Yeah.
34
It's actually, sometimes I look back at myself.
35
I look at the things that I've been able to do
36
and accomplish and where I'm at in life
37
and who is in my circle who I can call his friends And I amaze myself, but I think a lot of
38
that comes with opportunity I don't think people really understand the amount of risks
39
that I took early on in my life not only my corporate career, but also even with my current company and What I was willing to do
40
and what I was willing to lose to get to this part Now, let's be honest.
41
If you saw that kind of story anywhere but on this channel, you might say Chris represents the American dream.
42
His mom is an immigrant.
43
He came from a trailer park.
44
He took risks.
45
And by his early 30s, he's rich, successful.
46
But when I saw this, the first thing I thought was, well, where's the pitch, right?
47
I mean, just to state the obvious, this whole lifestyle on Instagram thing, the celebrity friendships, the story of overcoming all odds,
48
it's pretty textbook marketing for a pitch, a sale.
49
But with Goliath, it was like the opposite.
50
No matter how much I watched clips of Chris, I just never found the pitch.
51
Was what I reopened, just knocking on your door, hey Chris, have some money, can I invest with you?
52
No. So like a private?
53
Very private.
54
Interesting.
55
My money, more of a consulting, even with Goliath.
56
It's private.
57
It's private.
58
Even if you knocked on our door.
59
You're not getting in right away.
60
Yeah, no, we're a private equity firm.
61
We only want to work with certain individuals, you know, and we have a very structured model
62
and we don't want to bring people in that want to change that structure.
63
This is the success behind the company.
64
This is how we're willing to operate and play with you with.
65
And if you don't want to adhere by our rules or the structure that has had tremendous success, then you're just not the right partner for us so.
66
This is a private equity investment company
67
which means shh I've got an investment opportunity this sounds too good to be true
68
that is too good to be true that they kept around the friends
69
and family they didn't do any public advertising other than Patrick Mendeva's event I should say.
70
I could make passive income for myself raise my family
71
and basically enjoy life And that's how all these schemes grow is word of mouth.
72
Now, Danny's right here.
73
Goliath was mostly run on word of mouth.
74
And it was tough because of that to find claims early on because this thing was very hush -hush.
75
It wasn't until I found someone who actually was on the inside, an investor, that I learned what this whole thing was about, why people were investing millions of dollars.
76
I got into Goliath via trust.
77
I've heard a lot of stories of other people getting in from trust as well.
78
And it was like a chain reaction.
79
So I trusted someone who trusted someone who trusted someone that knew the director of partner services there, right?
80
Trust can go a long way.
81
I remember the day that I was told about the investment opportunity, and that was on February 9th, 2024.
82
That was the day I was told about it.
83
Tell me what the pitch was to you.
84
You know, these guys within this private joint venture fund, they invest the money into liquidity pools.
85
And I'm not going to tell you that I know I'm an expert in liquidity pools.
86
I kind of knew how it worked.
87
Sure, the returns were crazy, but I thought they were onto something.
88
And there it is.
89
That's finally the pitch we were looking for.
90
We discovered that Goliath is a company managing liquidity pools.
91
And this is something I'm deeply familiar with from my past work.
92
Better yet, my source gave me emails, contracts, and I immediately knew Danny was right.
93
Something was wrong.
94
Goliath claimed they were making all these profits from liquidity pools on Uniswap, which based on my experience would generate maybe four to 10 % a year.
95
Meanwhile, Goliath's contracts with investors said they would be paid three, four, five percent a month, and you could take payouts or you could leave it in.
96
You could do something they called hyper compounding.
97
Now, obviously those numbers don't add up.
98
Goliath would be spending more money than they made.
99
But the problem is Goliath is paying out at this point.
100
And so no one wants it to stop no one except for Danny, who wouldn't stop digging.
101
You need to look into my liquidity partners, because that's where it all started.
102
It's a mirror image of Glythe Ventures.
103
They registered the domain name for my liquidity partners and Glythe Ventures 20 days apart.
104
I think Chris just copied their concepts.
105
Well, let's find out.
106
Let's look at their website.
107
It's dead right now, but pulling an old archive, we do see similarities liquidity pools run on Uniswap, allowing you to hyper compound.
108
Then I saw this photo from Danny.
109
That's Chris Delgado with Verlin Sanciango, the creator of my liquidity partners who allegedly fled to Dubai.
110
Now to be clear, my liquidity partners was found to be a Ponzi scheme.
111
Could it be that Goliath was stealing another person's playbook and operating it as a private equity firm?
112
I mean, it's obviously a big accusation to make.
113
So I started digging through my old Ponzi cases and found another link, Trader's Domain, a Ponzi scheme I investigated years ago.
114
I had all their insider emails and I found within them Chris Delgado.
115
He was emailing as a special investor, trying to withdraw $1 .3 million from a collapsed scam.
116
And this is when all his old claims about taking risk came back to me.
117
I don't think people really understand the amount of risks that I took early on in my life, not only in my corporate career,
118
but also even with my current company and what I was willing to do
119
and what I was willing to lose to get to this part.
120
At this point in the investigation, I'm like 99 .9 % sure this is just a Ponzi scheme worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
121
Chris is already involved with some.
122
The numbers don't make sense.
123
And so I'm thinking, clearly, I'm going to make a video, right?
124
But that's when the first lawsuit dropped.
125
I have been sued in America.
126
And the dumbest thing I could ever do is turn up in America.
127
Hello.
128
Yeah, but they're going to try to bury you financially.
129
I'm already buried financially.
130
That's the crazy thing.
131
In the lawsuit, my take on it is they're trying to tell me to back up the bus and scare tactics.
132
Around about early October, Christopher tried to serve me.
133
So do you realise that those papers are from a company that has stolen $500 million from American investors?
134
Hey Danny, I have no idea about that.
135
You might be 100 % correct Danny, but I've got no control now.
136
Yeah.
137
So I've just got to give it to you.
138
Yeah.
139
Yeah.
140
Well, sh.
141
I gotta figure out what I'm gonna do next.
142
I got big problems, Bachel.
143
I got big problems!
144
Oh, wow.
145
Oh, jeez, Coffee.
146
Don't tell me you brought a lawsuit into my bar!
147
No, no, this is...
148
I might get sued.
149
This whole complaint, they sued Danny, and now everybody's freaking out.
150
I...
151
Of course they're freaking out.
152
Have you seen this guy's building?
153
Chris has a lot of money.
154
Well, yeah, obviously, and that's the problem.
155
I can't afford to get sued right now.
156
But what.. what am I supposed to do?
157
This, like, this ruins everything.
158
You can always report it to the government, not release a video.
159
You don't think that'd work.
160
In this era?
161
The odds are basically zero.
162
Coffee, I don't see how you have any other choice.
163
Maybe you're right.
164
Maybe you're right.
165
I mean, it's worth a shot, right?
166
Yeah, you betcha.
167
All right, well, thanks anyways.
168
Later.
169
Wait!
170
What about your tab?
171
Never pays his tab, always comes out of my paycheck.
172
Matter of fact, hold on.
173
I'm a sidekick, he should be paying me!
174
Yeah, here we go.
175
Will Coffeezilla release a video about Goliath Ventures?
176
Haha, not anymore.
177
Big Maxwell bucks, here we come!
178
So, uh, I don't really know how to say this, but it was at this point I decided to file a whistleblower complaint to the government.
179
Sort of a Hail Mary.
180
I mean, I didn't know what else to do.
181
And yes, I know that's rich coming from the crime is legal guy, right?
182
But what some of you don't know is I've done this several times before.
183
Whenever I have enough evidence, I do feel it's important to not just make a YouTube video about it, but give the evidence to the proper authorities.
184
That is continued even as our regulators have been gutted.
185
Now normally, I never talk about this activity because one, a lot of times it goes nowhere,
186
but also it can be sensitive and so I generally don't talk about it.
187
But in this case, it is essential to understanding what actually happened next.
188
Because without that whistleblower complaint, I was ready to give up on this case.
189
I mean, I literally was like, what am I gonna do here?
190
I'm gonna get sued if I talk about this.
191
And like, what are my other options?
192
But as I started to pull together evidence for this government tip, I got an email archive of Goliath's old newsletters,
193
and I start to see more and more of what they've been telling people.
194
And I'm just like, I can't believe what I'm seeing.
195
I mean, near the top, a financial audit.
196
They sent out a newsletter saying that they had an independent audit
197
and the independent audit come back and said 115 % of investors funds were secured for the whole year of 2024.
198
So to be clear, this is an announcement of an audit sent to investors to reassure them Goliath was backed 115%.
199
Now the key question is, who's the auditor?
200
Who did the audit?
201
Well it turned out it was BlackBlock Management Services.
202
Now just the name of that company got people pretty confused right away.
203
I was on the phone to a fire lady
204
and she was raving on about he's been in Forbes magazine and I'm going, they pay for this.
205
It's a sponsored advert.
206
No interviewer, no name.
207
And the funniest one, well, it wasn't funny, but they said that they are part of, they're invested with BlackRock.
208
And I go, no, it's BlackBlock.
209
And I said, go to myblackblock, it's very confusing, dot com.
210
And it's not, and the contract, you've just misheard it.
211
So BlackBlock, a fly -by -night company, not BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, is the actual people who audited this company.
212
They are led by a guy named Matt Burks, and he's going to be very important to our story because this is when I started to first hear about retirement funds.
213
You want to know more nonsense?
214
Those retirement funds that they rolled over.
215
I'm still actually confused as to how they were able to take other people's retirement funds.
216
They took people's retirement funds?
217
Yeah.
218
So people rolled over their IRAs.
219
And I'm not saying this as in I know anybody who did this, But that's what they they also promoted the retirement fund stuff.
220
They promoted that?
221
Yeah, yeah, as in like they had like this team doing I think
222
it was Pierce Curry is from what I've Wealth MD the name.
223
Yeah, something like that Now you can see the recognition from me there.
224
My wealth MD was this program I had seen pop up over and over again.
225
Well, if you go to their page, who do you find behind it?
226
None other than Matt Burks the same person behind the audit company BlackBlock is the founder of MyWealthMD,
227
and I got a copy of their investment contract.
228
What I noticed is it looks very similar to Goliath's, but it gave you lower profits, only 2 % a month for the first million.
229
And to make it stranger, Goliath Ventures was nowhere mentioned on their contract at all.
230
Not only that, the website was clearly catered to older people, which concerned me.
231
Unlike Goliath, they had videos of retirees endorsing the company.
232
Definitely recommend them, in particular, for any financial retirement goals.
233
Yeah, I'd feel very confident giving his name out to any of my friends or relatives.
234
I would recommend to anyone, friends, people I care about.
235
Have him meet with them and discuss their issues, because I feel sure he can help.
236
Now I guess the question is, is this related to Goliath, if their name's not on the contract?
237
Well, that's when Danny found an insider meeting between Goliath and Matt Burks explaining how they'd be managing retirement funds through MyWealthMD.
238
It's a trillion dollar market, retirement accounts.
239
So on qualified money, yes, essentially the way it works is whatever percentage they get paid, the fee over that just gets split between the referring partner or director.
240
and WealthMD, that's how it works.
241
WealthMD does all of the work.
242
You're responsible for zero.
243
It's just half and half, you do zero work.
244
Zero work for you.
245
This is a room of basically recruiters for Goliath Ventures, and what they're told is they could get retirement money and funnel it into MyWealthMD,
246
who would manage the backend and split profits with them.
247
And then someone asked, when can we start doing this? For us.
248
Wait.
249
Right now it's available.
250
Real quick.
251
Yeah.
252
Time out.
253
Sit before you.
254
Don't get too excited.
255
If someone is currently at a job, they have a 401k thrift savings plan, something like that, that money we can't touch.
256
If they are currently making contributions into a plan, it is not eligible for rollout in service.
257
Retire.
258
Okay.
259
There is one.
260
Get them to retire today.
261
This is why if someone has a qualified plan, you say, call Matt.
262
I know those questions to ask and so if there's a way to get the money out, I will get it.
263
Wow, when I saw this clip, I could not believe it.
264
If there's a way to get the money out, I will get it.
265
I mean they were scheming to get retirement money, which types they could legally get.
266
And from the testimonials on their website, it sounds like they did that.
267
We would meet yearly and usually every time I came in, you know, It was a pleasant surprise,
268
you know, the accounts going up or they would find new accounts out there
269
that I could transfer funds from one account to another and make a bonus money.
270
So there was those kind of surprises, but, and there was a lot of them. So, yeah.
271
Is this not completely insane?
272
They were hunting down retirement accounts to add to Goliath.
273
And the same guy running the retirement money is auditing Goliath and saying it's back to 115%.
274
Now at this point, I finish my whistleblower report and I send it off to the DOJ program on October 24th, 2025.
275
And I'm nervous because even on the best days, it's an uncertain thing.
276
It takes forever.
277
But I know that Chris Delgado is very well connected.
278
I discover he's donated to key figures.
279
He went to the White House.
280
And guess who we met?
281
FBI Director Cash Patel.
282
You are so fucked.
283
Why did it have to be cash?
284
I mean, of all the people, the one guy I've been talking about for months about Epstein, you don't think he actually saw those videos, right?
285
Copy, copy, it's a side channel.
286
Nobody cares about the Epstein files.
287
These videos have like a few thousand views.
288
A million views, yeah.
289
Yeah, you're fine, don't worry about it.
290
Okay, okay, so if you think so, I mean, I'll trust you.
291
I just...
292
Because it actually gets worse than that.
293
I mean, the worst part is that it doesn't stop there.
294
He kind of, you know, said that he might have Kash Patel in his pocket.
295
I have heard statements from Chris where he reckons that he's got Kash Patel in the bag.
296
What does that mean?
297
That means that he thinks that if he gets in the s*, that he's got Kash Patel.
298
You just have to imagine my morale on this case.
299
It is at an all -time low at this point I mean, let's look at the facts.
300
Chris has retiree money Supposedly he claims he has cash patel and what do we got?
301
Well, danny is getting sued by chris He's already broke.
302
I'm being sued in a separate case I'm trying not to go broke and i'm thinking, you know, we can't do this.
303
This case is literally david versus goliath The deck is stacked, except instead of David, we have Danny.
304
And instead of Goliath as a giant, he has frosted tips and a few hundred million dollars.
305
Or at least we thought he had a few hundred million.
306
We weren't exactly sure.
307
I mean, soon we learned he probably wasn't as liquid as we thought.
308
Ponzi schemes have a way of doing that to you.
309
We heard from numerous sources that some people weren't getting paid in November.
310
And then later on, we found out that it went back to October, that people had actually started missing their dividends.
311
So this is honestly the nightmare scenario that we were always trying to avoid
312
because when payments freeze This is
313
when it starts to hit the retirees the investors the hardest
314
they start to panic They genuinely thought this thing was audited backed They were told
315
that and then they're scared to talk now too
316
because Danny is getting sued So at this point it's November 2025
317
and I feel like I don't know what to do
318
So I just reach out to Chris Delgado I don't know if I'm gonna do a story, but I demand to see the black block audit details.
319
Chris responds.
320
He can't show me because he says that auditor is a witness in his case versus Danny.
321
I ask how much money Goliath manages.
322
Chris responds hundreds of millions.
323
Finally, I address the delayed payments.
324
Chris claims he had to freeze the funds for a full forensic audit and then says that they're actually gonna be resuming.
325
The next payments would come December 15th.
326
I was kind of surprised because that was only in a month that we'd find out the truth.
327
Unfortunately, I later learned this is also what - the investors were told.
328
I think he was just, that was just pulled out of his ass to make sure it wouldn't be awkward at the Christmas party.
329
Which we had people inside the event who had got through the security
330
and were filming the inside of this event with Jason Derrillo.
331
This was like a big $5 million event that was just over the top.
332
The people that we had in the event were telling us that it was no expense spared.
333
Meanwhile, all money was frozen.
334
I think it was on the 12th of, maybe the 10th of December.
335
And then Christopher took off back to Dubai on the 15th of December.
336
And that was disgusting at that time.
337
So right before payments are supposed to come out, they have this big $5 million party with Jason Derulo.
338
Investors are feeling good.
339
And then, of course, the 15th arrives.
340
Nobody gets paid.
341
And, you know, I don't know what to do.
342
I feel terrible for people.
343
But at the same time, you know, nobody's talking.
344
There's still this threat of a lawsuit.
345
And I've contacted at least probably 100 people for this story at this point who had money in Goliath
346
or knew about Goliath.
347
And basically, almost all of them are terrified or embarrassed.
348
And at this point, I'm wondering, if I can't get people on the record, how else can I establish from 99 .9 % to 100 % that this thing is just fully fake?
349
And that's when I did some more digging.
350
Specifically, I wanted to focus on a certain map I had seen.
351
This is a map of Goliath Ventures money.
352
It's something I put in my whistleblower report and it basically explained how they claimed the money would be sent around.
353
Basically, people were wiring money into Goliath that goes to Coinbase.
354
Eventually, that's sent to Uniswap for liquidity pools, which then they paid people out of.
355
And I realized, if this was on the blockchain, we should be able to see proof of this, Like trace it back to these supposed liquidity pools,
356
but where do we start?
357
Well, I had some victims crypto payout wallets
358
that I decided to use I trace them backwards Through the payments
359
because in theory
360
if Goliath is really using those liquidity pools I should see payouts coming from wallets connected to them right
361
and eventually after I had done that what did I find?
362
There are no liquidity pools in this scheme Well, there was a tiny little bit what I found was a little over $20 ,000
363
But almost all of the money tens of millions of dollars
364
was going straight from Coinbase to pay out old investors and Goliath says themselves the coinbase money.
365
Where's it coming from?
366
New investors so putting this together new money goes to coinbase Which pays out old money and it was at this point?
367
I excitedly brought my results to Danny to see what he thought
368
so there's no there's no incoming money Where do they have it?
369
So it's a graph of a Ponzi scan.
370
It's just brilliant.
371
So that's fantastic.
372
So that's great.
373
I mean that there is just everything they have said has just been just undone very simply.
374
Which is actually quite disturbing.
375
Why do you say that?
376
Well they've just lied to everybody.
377
They've just said that they were doing something and we've been, I'm not crypto clever.
378
And all of a sudden, they've been telling everyone they've been doing pancake swaps.
379
And somebody told me to say, oh, well, you know, it doesn't make enough money to do the type of liquidity they are doing.
380
And here we are, we've just got a graph in front of us here where it just shows there's no trading.
381
It's a straight Ponzi scheme right here.
382
By now, I had all the pieces.
383
I had the pitch.
384
I had the proof.
385
I had the Ponzi.
386
I had done my best to report this thing, but people are not being paid at this point And I don't care anymore.
387
I mean, I'm gonna go public whether I get sued
388
or not I've done my best to do all the due diligence I can
389
and so it was at this point I start writing the story
390
and Right as I do right before I filmed it the
391
craziest thing happened Orange County man charged with running a multi
392
-million dollar Ponzi scheme posted a million dollar bond earlier today The Justice Department says Christopher Delgado stole more than $328 million,
393
but instead of investing it in cryptocurrency, he pocketed the money.
394
And only we were there to ask him about it as he left the federal courthouse.
395
Mr. Delgado, West 2 investigates.
396
Can we talk to you about the charge against you?
397
West 2 News was the only news organization outside the federal courthouse as Christopher Delgado left the building.
398
An ankle monitor now installed to track his whereabouts pending trial.
399
You can contact my counsel.
400
I have a blessed day.
401
Meanwhile, Delgado left the federal courthouse Wednesday in a Rolls Royce.
402
You cannot imagine my shock when I saw this.
403
Christopher Delgado was charged with running a $328 million Ponzi scheme.
404
And almost better than that, immediately afterwards, I found out that the lawsuit against Danny got dropped in full.
405
And this is where I really have to say, I have no clue, honestly, how much or little of my whistleblower report was used.
406
I give full credit to the team who actually investigated and charged Chris for chasing down the facts.
407
However, what I do know is that Danny was a massive help to everyone.
408
The amount of information this guy dug up, along with his team he calls the Avengers, is just staggering.
409
And I really have to give them credit.
410
But honestly, if it hadn't been for me trying to get this whistleblower report, this video probably wouldn't have existed.
411
I would have dropped the case for sure.
412
It was only chasing down those last things trying to prove
413
this even though I knew there was really nothing I could do
414
That drove me to get to this point and given
415
that Danny was such a huge part of that I'll link his Ko -fi account if you want to support his work.
416
He didn't ask me to say this I'm doing it because I happen to know that financially He's not doing amazing.
417
Let's just say investigative journalism when you're being sued is not very easy
418
and you need lots of support But honestly this whole thing felt surreal
419
and I knew Danny had to be my first call when I heard the news
420
Danny da heck We finally got the news That Chris Delgado got arrested today.
421
Oh the first person had to call.
422
What was that like?
423
Emotionally well, I didn't actually could I didn't absorb the information that was just like
424
It was just ridiculous
425
I did have a lot of interesting parts
426
because I was talking to Homeland Security at the same time
427
and they didn't know he'd been arrested or
428
that it was they couldn't provide me any information about the arrest
429
and I said well I've got the document here
430
because he rang me because I gave him the actual court violence
431
and he said we haven't got
432
that yet how did you get it I said I could tell you
433
but I'd have to shoot you it's unbelievable I'm shocked they never move this fast
434
So John who hits the investigation said he's been investigating for 20 years
435
And he said this is the fastest that they've ever got an indictment done.
436
It always takes Danny Let me tell you it always takes years
437
Even you were just you were I was just interviewing you a Moment ago, and we were both talking.
438
This is never gonna happen.
439
Oh, you see when I found out I actually burst into tears mate I'll tell you
440
Even when I got back to New Zealand, my partner was taking a photo of me walking through and I just burst into tears.
441
It's just actually like a tin of bricks, this sort of stuff.
442
And even just before we talked to you today, I've just found another lady that's in Canada.
443
230 odd thousand, put $100 ,000 in, sold her house, put the proceeds of her house into the investment,
444
and also put some credit card money in there
445
and now has just realized it's a scam and she doesn't feel like she's got anyone to help her.
446
It's brutal.
447
This has affected so many lives so negatively.
448
I'm so happy that he's getting charged as he should.
449
We don't even really want this sort of result.
450
You know, it's not why we do it.
451
It is actually just trying to make a difference.
452
The power of our investigations is where I really am prideful of
453
that the team that I have of volunteers is absolutely first class.
454
I can't believe we got it, we got it.
455
Oh yeah, mm -hmm.
456
Yeah!
457
What are we, uh, what are we celebrating?
458
The bet finally paid off!
459

461

463

464
I wasn't expecting you to be
465
so cool about it cash came through cash came through That's what I'm talking about all right.
466
I never thought I've been making fun of it for a long time saying They got the arrest
467
Wait What Chris do got oh they got oh?
468
Oh, oh no you pulled it together.
469

477

478

479

480

481

Für wen ist dieses Video geeignet?
Dieses Video eignet sich perfekt für fortgeschrittene Englischlerner, die ihre Hörverstehensfähigkeit und das Verständnis von gesprochenem Englisch in realen Szenen verbessern wollen. Es eignet sich besonders, wenn du an Erfahrungsberichten, journalistischen Untersuchungen oder Gesprächen über Karriere und Erfolg interessiert bist und gleichzeitig idiomatische Ausdrücke und natürliche Redewendungen lernen möchtest.
Wörter und Redewendungen, die sich lohnen zu lernen
- gravitate towards – sich zu jemandem/etwas hinziehen; "People just naturally gravitate towards me" heißt also "Leute werden von Natur aus zu mir hingezogen".
- circle of influence – Einflusskreis; "My circle of influence started growing" bedeutet "Mein Einflusskreis begann zu wachsen".
- take risks – Risiken eingehen; "the amount of risks that I took" lässt sich mit "die Menge an Risiken, die ich eingegangen bin" übersetzen.
- American dream – amerikanischer Traum; steht für den Glauben, dass jeder durch harte Arbeit und Fleiß Erfolg und Wohlstand erreichen kann.
- textbook marketing – klassische Marketingstrategie; "it's pretty textbook marketing" bedeutet "es ist eine ziemlich klassische Marketingmethode".
Wie man den Akzent richtig hört und nachahmt
Der Sprecher in dem Video spricht ein klar artikuliertes, amerikanisches Englisch mit einiger regionaler Einflüsse (vor allem aus Kalifornien). Achte besonders auf die Reduktion von Vokalen in Wörtern wie "and" (oft zu "an") oder "of" (zu "ov"). Auch die Intonation ist wichtig: In Fragen steigt die Stimme am Ende, in Aussagen fällt sie. Um den Akzent zu üben, nutze eine shadowspeak-Methode oder eine shadowing site: Höre kurze Abschnitte des Videos nach, wiederhole sie sofort und passe deine Stimme an die des Sprechers an. Diese Technik, auch Englisch Shadowing genannt, hilft dir, Rhythmus und Klang des Englisch zu internalisieren. Achte außerdem auf Wörter wie "opportunity" oder "accomplish" – hier werden die betonten Silben ("op-POR-tu-ni-ty", "ac-COM-plish") deutlich betont.
Mit shadow speech kannst du nicht nur den Akzent verbessern, sondern auch die Flüssigkeit deiner Sprache steigern. Übe regelmäßig, und du wirst merken, dass du die natürliche Redeweise des Sprechers immer besser nachahmen kannst.
Grammatik in diesem Video
Die Strukturen, die der Sprecher am häufigsten verwendet, mit den genauen Worten aus dem Video:
| Struktur | Im Video |
|---|---|
| Present Perfect Continuous have/has been + -ing – eine Handlung, die früher begann und noch andauert | I've been investigating · they've been telling · I've been talking |
| Present Perfect have/has + Partizip Perfekt – eine vergangene Handlung, die jetzt noch wichtig ist | I've been · I've heard · have been |
| Passiv be + Partizip Perfekt – wichtig ist, was geschieht, nicht wer es tut | are attracted · was audited · was called |
| Relativsätze who / which + Satz – eine Zusatzinformation über eine Person oder Sache | someone who actually · someone who trusted · people who audited |
Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?
Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
