1
Every government agency on earth can listen through your cell phone, can listen through your laptop, can listen to your cameras.
2
It doesn't matter what it is.
3
Any government on earth can listen to you if they want to.
4
My name is Jason Hansen.
5
I'm a former CIA officer and I'm here to answer questions in the honesty box.
6
How are you recruited into the CIA?
7
Well guess what?
8
Probably 99 % of people are not recruited.
9
process.
10
So maybe 1 % of people are recruited, meaning they have ties to a country we need, they speak 17 languages, they're Harvard graduates, and that's not most people.
11
So I applied to the agency, I went through the process, it took me about 12 months.
12
That included polygraph examinations, that included medical exams, that included meeting with psychologists, psychiatrists, that included filling out mountains of paperwork,
13
and after about 12 long months, I was very fortunate to get a job offer with the CIA, and that is how I got in.
14
What kind of work did you carry out in the CIA?
15
This is one you want me to get in trouble for.
16
So I did a variety of things.
17
I did surveillance.
18
I did counter surveillance.
19
I did some protection type of work.
20
I loved it.
21
It was wonderful.
22
I had amazing mentors, but no, I'm not going to say anything that gets me in trouble.
23
What's the difference between surveillance and counter surveillance?
24
So with counter surveillance, I am watching the watchers.
25
And what I mean by that is, let's say you're some high profile celebrity, right?
26
And you have a bodyguard on you.
27
Well, I want to know if anybody is surveilling you.
28
So I'm counter surveillance.
29
So if you're the high profile bodyguard, if you've got, or excuse me, if you're the high profile celebrity, if you've got your bodyguard, I am in plain clothes walking around to say,
30
is anybody running surveillance on you and your bodyguard?
31
Is anybody watching you?
32
So counter surveillance, I'm basically saying, hey, is anybody watching you?
33
Are you safe?
34
Do you have a target on your back?
35
Are there any threats I see where somebody's coming after you?
36
Where surveillance means you're a high value target.
37
I'm just watching you.
38
watch if anybody's watching you.
39
Clear as mud.
40
Are there really spies walking among us?
41
Absolutely there are.
42
You have no idea how many spies are walking among us.
43
So in the United States here, where we are right now, There are more Chinese spies in the U .S than any other country on Earth.
44
And let me tell you, the Chinese are excellent espionage because they play the long game.
45
They will put somebody in the university here in the U .S., and they will wait 20 years until they're very high up at the CIA, at the FBI, at the Secret Service,
46
or any other government agency.
47
Is that what sleeper agents are?
48
So sleeper agents, yes and no.
49
mark on a park bench you need to go put this bomb xyz
50
that is obviously a very extreme case
51
but yes there are many sleeper agents who have not been activated
52
when they get activation from their country they're going to do certain things What are they trying to find out?
53
Anything and everything.
54
They want our technology.
55
They obviously want to be in the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service.
56
We got so many different intelligence agencies now, NGA, NRO, all those kind of the NSA.
57
And that is the ultimate plan.
58
So yes, there are sleeper agents.
59
Some are horrible, going to do things like blow up the United States.
60
And others are, hey, we just need you to do X, Y and Z at a certain time.
61
And it's not as threatening.
62
What does carrying out surveillance really look like?
63
Guess what?
64
Carrying out surveillance really is boring, okay?
65
It looks like nothing.
66
You're never gonna notice when somebody's carrying out surveillance.
67
Because guess what?
68
That's what makes surveillance good.
69
So me running surveillance, I'm pretty average.
70
I don't stand out.
71
Nobody gives me a second look, right?
72
So surveillance is taking People who look boring, dress them to fit the baseline of the city.
73
And the example when I say baseline is
74
if you're running surveillance on a beach and you're walking around in a suit and tie and it's 95 degrees, well, guess what?
75
You're not blending in with the baseline.
76
You need to be in a bathing suit.
77
That way you can blend in with surveillance.
78
So surveillance is driving a normal car that matches the city.
79
It's not driving a Porsche.
80
It's not driving a Ferrari.
81
Because again, that will stand out.
82
So there's surveillance you see is surveillance you really don't see.
83
It could be anything.
84
It could be that old lady pushing a stroller, which is a cliche.
85
It could be the old man walking down the street.
86
It could be the woman kicking a soccer ball.
87
It is great surveillance.
88
You will really never know.
89
And that's what surveillance is.
90
Who's better, the CIA or FBI?
91
Do you even need to ask?
92
Seriously, do you even need to ask?
93
Obviously the agency.
94
At times, the FBI brings in the CIA to help them on certain things.
95
Now, with all that being said, I got plenty of FBI agents who are friends.
96
Great guys.
97
I love them.
98
But the CIA are better at surveillance, better at pretty much everything else.
99
So yes, we are better.
100
Now all the FBI guys can hate me.
101
I don't mind.
102
Next question, what makes a good CIA officer?
103
That is a good question because it's probably not what you think.
104
A good friend of mine, one of my mentors, said that spying is common sense on steroids.
105
So a good intelligence officer, you've got to have common sense, but you've got to have amazing people skills.
106
Another friend of mine has this awesome saying that says, CIA officers are the world's best salesmen.
107
The only difference is you sell vacuums, we sell treason.
108
amazing with people.
109
You'll be able to talk to a billionaire, to a homeless guy on the street.
110
You need to be comfortable with every one of them.
111
So one of the most important things Intel traits is being that have that ability to talk to anyone and everyone, to sell anyone and everyone,
112
and to believe you are doing something worthwhile.
113
So obviously, you don't join the agency because you're going to be rich, you're going to make a lot of money.
114
You've got to love your country, and you've got to believe that the job you're doing is incredibly important.
115
That gives you the passion to go out and sell and talk to anybody and everybody.
116
Who has the highest security clearance in the US?
117
So when I was at the CIA, I had a top secret, I think exactly what it was, a top secret SCI, with lifestyle poly.
118
So top secret security clearance, secure compartmentalized information is the SEI part and lifestyle polygraph.
119
But that was mine.
120
That is what I know.
121
Yes, there are other things you get on top, but it's basically like it's a need to know basis.
122
When I talk about the agency, SEI secure compartmentalized information, you don't know what the right hand and left hand are doing and they want it that way.
123
That way you can't topple the chain.
124
So back in the day, there was When was he?
125
80s, 90s?
126
I don't remember.
127
Before my time, when I was with the agency.
128
But then they made everything very compartmentalized.
129
So people always ask me, like, hey, Jason, you know, I had a cousin who worked for the CIA.
130
Did you know?
131
Probably not, unless he was in the exact thing I was doing at the time, because it's so compartmentalized.
132
If one person gets compromised, if one person, heaven forbid, betrays the agency, you don't want them to be able to destroy everything, which is why it's so compartmentalized.
133
And unfortunately, that's the way it has to be compartmentalized.
134
Can the CIA make someone disappear without a trace?
135
Absolutely.
136
Piece of cake.
137
How much time you got?
138
I mean, there's a-- I'm going to try to think how to say it.
139
First, There's obviously defectors, meaning somebody gives a tremendous amount of information to the CIA.
140
The CIA has recruited them.
141
Maybe they're a Russian general.
142
We'll just use that.
143
The Russian general's done wonderful work for us.
144
And then he says, "Hey, I think they're on to me.
145
I need to get out of the country." And so you get them out of the country.
146
and you bring him to the US and you make him disappear.
147
You give him a new name, you put him up in a house somewhere in the Washington DC area, Northern Virginia, Maryland, et cetera and they're a ghost.
148
They don't exist, they're not obviously having anything tracing back to the normal life.
149
So it's not hard to make people disappear.
150
I actually do that for my job.
151
I help people disappear.
152
And unfortunately, a lot of times it's domestic violence victims.
153
So people who have a husband beating them type of thing, and they come to me and say, hey, Jason, I need to disappear.
154
And the hard part is you've got to leave your life behind.
155
You can't have any of the same habits you used to have because if people are looking for you, That's what they're going to do.
156
It really comes down to discipline.
157
I can teach anybody how to disappear without a trace, but it means you're not going to Thanksgiving with your parents.
158
You're not going to Christmas with your friends.
159
It's a very lonely existence, and you would only want to disappear without a trace if you had an extreme threat.
160
If somebody was threatening to kill you, if you thought you might be murdered, then you'd want to do it.
161
So it's not sexy like Hollywood makes it look.
162
It's very lonely.
163
And again, you'd only want to do it in a life or death situation.
164
Is it always an expectation that you might have to give up your identity?
165
Thank you.
166
Well, I mean, the mission is the mission, meaning the CIA is the CIA.
167
So if they call and you say, "Hey, you need to get on a plane in 30 minutes," I mean, they'll give you more time than that, but you know, you got to go.
168
So it comes first, which is why it's hard to have a wife and kids and all that kind of stuff.
169
And I saw it happen all the time.
170
I mean, I had many wonderful friends who got divorced, and it was terrible.
171
It was tragic.
172
And a good buddy of mine, a divorced guy, he used to walk up to people, like new guys at the agency or new guys we started working with, and he'd say, so are you married or are you happy?
173
And that was his intro line.
174
I was, well, I was single, so I was happy. But anyway.
175
All right, what is your favorite spy tactic?
176
I like that question.
177
Listen, I'm about to tell you the most important spy skill you will ever learn, okay?
178
And it's not evasive driving.
179
It's not like jumping out of helicopters.
180
The most important spy tactic that anybody can use, including you, is called an SDR, surveillance detection route, okay?
181
So what is an SDR?
182
What is a surveillance detection route?
183
In plain English, it means not going from point A to B in a straight line.
184
Let's say you're a spy, right?
185
You're going to meet an asset somewhere.
186
So you're in your house.
187
You're going to meet your asset at McDonald's.
188
You don't just drive straight from your house to McDonald's because if surveillance was on you and somebody's following you, well, you would get caught and your asset would get caught.
189
That would be no good.
190
So you run a surveillance detection route.
191
What does that mean?
192
It means you're at your apartment.
193
You might go to Starbucks to get some coffee.
194
Then you might go to the gym and work out.
195
Then you might go to the grocery store and go shopping.
196
Then you might go to the post office.
197
and mail a letter, then you might go get gas, and then you're gonna go to McDonald's, which is your final meeting point.
198
Because running the surveillance detection route in all those places allows you to see if there are cars or people following you, and you can know if you are safe and free of surveillance.
199
So now you can run a surveillance detection route if you're ever being followed.
200
The world's easiest surveillance detection route, which I run every time I drive home from my office, is just go around the block.
201
Go in a circle and see if the same car is following you.
202
And if they are, don't go home.
203
You're welcome.
204
Does the CIA listen-- oh, Jason's going to dance around this one.
205
Does the CIA listen through our phones and laptop cameras?
206
Listen.
207
Every government agency on earth can listen through your cell phone, can listen through your laptop, can listen to your cameras.
208
It doesn't matter what it is.
209
If you think you have a cell phone
210
that is going to be like magic and the agency is not going to listen in, they can.
211
So I, because I'm more paranoid than the average person, this kid is what we call a flip phone.
212
Yes, this is my real cell phone.
213
It is a flip phone.
214
So I don't have apps tracking me.
215
I don't have all this stuff tracking me.
216
But I still know that if the CIA really wanted to listen on me, yes, of course they can listen to my flip phone.
217
And so anywhere you go, if you think you are, "Hey, I'm not going to have surveillance on me.
218
I'm not going to have somebody listening on me," they can do it if they want to.
219
I do a lot of private security training.
220
If I have a very important meeting, I leave my cell phone at home or my hotel room.
221
I go to that meeting without any electronics whatsoever on me.
222
And I have that meeting in person.
223
And I make sure we go to a place Mostly a park.
224
Parks are great.
225
Where I know that nobody has any devices or anything and I know certain locations to go.
226
But if you really value your privacy, if you really have anything quote unquote top secret you want to talk about, no electronics nearby has to be in person.
227
Because any government on earth can listen to you if they want to. Are hitmen real?
228
Jeez, you guys are asking questions that are going to make me nervous.
229
I'm speaking hypothetically, of course.
230
I'm speaking as just an average Joe who knows nothing about nothing.
231
Many government agencies around the world hire people to do their dirty work.
232
And I'm not, I'm talking normally.
233
I'm not talking about terrorists when they're going out and taking terrorists in Iraq, Afghanistan, that kind of stuff.
234
I'm talking about like, hey, walking down the street kind of thing is no, the U .S government is not going to do that.
235
The Russians will, The Russians, as we know, they love to use poison.
236
The reason the Russians love to use poison is you can do it and not be anywhere near
237
So I can go and spray your door handle, and then I can be on a plane, or I can be, you know, two hours away in another city.
238
When you come out of your work, you grab your door handle, there's poison underneath there, you've touched it, you're dead an hour later.
239
because they sprayed your door handle.
240
So be careful the Russians, they don't play games.
241
Bye.
242
What's the most dangerous country in the world?
243
Well, what's today?
244
What day is it?
245
That is a great question.
246
Well, obviously Russia is very dangerous to operate in.
247
Right now, Iran, extremely dangerous.
248
Iran is what we call in the intelligence business a denied area.
249
And what I mean by
250
that is there are not CIA officers who look like me walking around in Iran trying to recruit people.
251
We use what is called an access agent.
252
So let's say you and I met in, well, right now I'm in Atlanta.
253
Let's say you and I met in Atlanta
254
and I found out you're Iranian and you've got all your cousins and aunts and uncles and brothers and parents in Iran.
255
I may recruit you as an access agent because you can fly to Iran.
256
You've got all these relatives in Iran who can gather intel.
257
But me, I can't go to Iran right now or anytime because I would end up dead.
258
world.
259
Of course, North Korea is too.
260
Same thing as a U .S intelligence officer is not going to go walk into North Korea.
261
Not good.
262
They won't last long.
263
Not going to happen.
264
Say you recruit an Access agent, how do you, can you ever trust them?
265
That is great.
266
Great question.
267
So if you recruit an access agent, how do you trust them?
268
Well, obviously, you're going to polygraph them.
269
And you're going to check their intelligence against other people's intelligence.
270
So let's say I have an access agent and they come to me and they tell me something about Iran.
271
Well, they're obviously not the only person we've recruited to spy on Iran for us.
272
We may have 10 other people.
273
So if you come to me and you say, "Hey, Jason," on -- I'm just making this date up, obviously -- "On March 25th, Iran is going to attack the United States." Well, I'm going to polygraph you.
274
I'm going to verify that.
275
So if I go to other people and they say, hey, on March 25th, on March 25th, March 25th, I verify that intelligence and I know, uh -oh, we're in trouble.
276
So yeah, you always have to check the intelligence you're getting, because obviously it can lead to very serious decisions, which is why you're verifying it, which is why you're polygraphing the people.
277
Why won't they release the Epstein files?
278
Well, this is an obvious one.
279
Why won't they release the Epstein files?
280
Because what is on there?
281
Many important people's names and information.
282
Epstein was a prominent figure.
283
He was whining and dining with prominent politicians.
284
So they won't release him because there are people's names in there.
285
They don't want to get out.
286
I've seen so many things where members of the US government have said, "Oh, we looked at them.
287
There was nothing on there.
288
Remember how I tell you I can detect lies?
289
They're lying." So why would they lie?
290
Because they want to keep their job.
291
They want to be up there prominently under the president, under whoever, under Congress, under, you know, they want to be a senator, etc. So they lie because they want to keep their job.
292
And Unfortunately, most people, like I said, care more about keeping their job than doing what is right, and that is what is with the Epstein files.
293
They don't want their names getting out, and it's very obvious when they're like, yeah, we saw nothing bad.
294
You can tell they're lying.
295
It doesn't take a trained intelligence officer.
296
Should they be released?
297
Do the public have the right to that information?
298
Sure, I absolutely think the Epstein file should be released.
299
Why not?
300
I mean, it's a huge case.
301
Horrible things will happen to these women.
302
So yeah, it should be released.
303
Give these women some closure.
304
Give these women some justice.
305
So absolutely should be done.
306
But it's the government.
307
Remember, this is the government to protect itself.
308
It doesn't care about the public.
309
one is it is your smart speakers it is your fridge it is your thermostat we're gonna hack into
310
that and say hey they usually set it at 70 degrees but it's been at 60 degrees now, so they're probably going on vacation.
311
We know the house is going to be empty kind of thing.
312
So it's all these electronic devices you bring into your house, which lets us spy on you when I say us.
313
I mean governments around the world.
314
I don't work for government anymore.
315
It's you bringing in here.
316
Back in the day, another hypothetical story.
317
There was a person in Europe we wanted to spy on.
318
Well, we had an access agent, meaning we recruited his best friend or one of his best friends.
319
This person in Europe who we wanted to spy on was a lover of fine art.
320
He was looking for a specific painting.
321
So what did we do?
322
Well, one of his good friends happened to find that painting, and of course inside that painting was a listening device.
323
So this guy's friend, our access agent, gave the painting to the prominent European person.
324
The prominent European person takes the painting and puts it inside his house, and he has no idea there's a listening device in it, and we can listen all day long.
325
That's a lot of work.
326
These days we don't have to do any work.
327
You bring him into the house and we can hack him, so we don't have to give you a gift anymore to bring in your house.
328
So on behalf of all the spies out there, even though I'm not one anymore, thank you for bringing all those listening devices in your house because it makes it so much easier.
329
All right.
330
I'm messing these up in here.
331
I grabbed two.
332
Okay.
333
Would you ever log into public Wi -Fi?
334
If I log into public Wi -Fi, the only time I would ever do it is if I'm using a VPN, a virtual private network.
335
So basically, it encrypts my traffic, all that kind of stuff.
336
But I'm not just going to my hotel or I'm not going when I'm flying on an airplane.
337
I'm logging into that public Wi -Fi without a VPN.
338
So I want to make sure that my traffic is encrypted.
339
I want to make sure it makes me look like, even though I live in Utah, when I'm on my VPN, the other day I said I was in New Jersey.
340
But yeah, if you log into public Wi -Fi without using a VPN, or something else, you're absolutely out of your mind because they're just gonna read your mail.
341
They're gonna know everything about you.
342
It is very unsafe and On the public Wi -Fi thing, would it just be the government that would be able to access that?
343
Or would other organizations?
344
Well, any organization.
345
If you're on public Wi -Fi, I mean, any hacker can.
346
I mean, I have buddies that can do it.
347
We wouldn't do anything illegal.
348
But yeah, if I was trying to gather your information and you're on public Wi -Fi, you don't have to be anywhere sophisticated as U .S government
349
to start being able to read people's mail to get their computer.
350
I mean, there's a million ways to do it.
351
And that ain't hard these days, unfortunately.
352
But here's the thing, if the US government wants to read your mail, they're going to do it anyway.
353
This is also why I don't have anything smart in my house.
354
I don't have any like Alexa.
355
I don't have any smart doorbells.
356
I don't have any smart speakers.
357
I have a quote unquote dumb house.
358
because I know how the government works.
359
I've got my security cameras that are hardwired to my home.
360
And yes, my home is like a fortress.
361
I've got door barricades in front of every door.
362
I've got my security cameras.
363
I have a driveway alarm, which is a passive infrared sensor.
364
So when you come down my driveway, you cross that sensor.
365
It chimes in my house.
366
I know somebody's entered my driveway.
367
And of course, I got guns galore all over my house.
368
in a rapid access safe because I have eight young children.
369
I didn't have kids until after I left the CIA.
370
So every gun is locked up in my house.
371
But yes, on every floor of my house, I got guns, and I'm ready to rock and roll in a worst -case scenario, which I pray there's never a worst -case scenario.
372
How does the CIA recruit agents in foreign countries?
373
Well, there is a cycle called the SADR cycle, spotting, assessing, developing, and recruiting.
374
So the way you recruit them is you have to have a task first.
375
So maybe the task is, hey, we want you to find a Russian scientist who's working on a nuclear bomb.
376
Well, you've got to spot who are the 10 Russian scientists who are doing that or however many they are.
377
Then you've got to assess who actually has access to that information, and it may be one scientist who has access to that information.
378
Developing is another word for making them fall in love with you.
379
So developing means taking them to dinner, spending money on them.
380
You're probably familiar with the law of reciprocity and that means I'm taking you out to dinner left and right.
381
I'm saying I work for an American company.
382
I'm a rich American businessman and hey my company gives me a per diem
383
and we're walking down the street and I see a $2 ,000 suit and I say hey
384
My company gives me a per diem, a thousand dollars a month.
385
I don't use it.
386
I'm going to buy a suit.
387
You want one too?
388
I'm buying all this stuff.
389
So the law of reciprocity, you want to do something for me.
390
And guess what?
391
The first time I asked you to do something, I really don't care what it is.
392
I just want to see if you'll do it.
393
I may say, "Hey, can you give me the phone number of your boss of your office?" And you say, "Yes." Well, then I start a slippery slope going down to what I really want to get.
394
So spotting, assessing, developing, and then recruiting is when I tell you, "Hey, by the way, you're a smart guy.
395
You probably realize I'm not really an American businessman.
396
I work for the US government.
397
How would you like to work for us?
398
And by the way, I'll make it worth your while.
399
I'm going to give you $5 ,000 a month or $10 ,000 a month or $50 ,000 or whatever the amount is, depending on the level of intelligence.
400
So the SADR cycle, it's the world's greatest sales model, is basically what it is.
401
And obviously doesn't happen overnight.
402
It takes time.
403
But that is how you recruit somebody.
404
How long were you a CIA agent?
405
Well, fun fact, we are actually CIA officers.
406
So the FBI, they are agents.
407
So a lot of times you do hear people say, hey, you're a CIA agent, and I never correct them because that's what people think it is.
408
But actually, we are CIA officers.
409
Now, how long was I with the agency for seven years?
410
Seven awesome years, wonderful years.
411
But guess what?
412
It is a single man's job.
413
I was single at the time, but I did want to get married.
414
I did want to have a wife and kids.
415
Now I went a little overboard.
416
I've got a lot of people.
417
I had eight kids, so I overdid it.
418
But I had these amazing mentors at the agency And I joined at 23, so I was young, but I had these mentors who were in their 50s where when you're 23, you think 50 is old.
419
And a lot of them were divorced or they were alcoholics or they hated their wife and kids.
420
And I was like, you know what?
421
I've been here seven years.
422
I've had an amazing time.
423
I see the writing on the wall.
424
So I left to start my own security company.
425
And I'm glad I did.
426
I don't really for one bit, even though the agency treated me very well and was a great place to work.
427
Who is really running America right now?
428
This feels like a deep state question.
429
I'm going to tell you the truth about the deep state, okay?
430
Because everybody thinks the deep state is like the Wizard of Oz, the magic boogeyman.
431
The deep state.. is not what you think.
432
The deep state is the person who is the middle manager in the U .S government.
433
So think of any intelligence organization, every government agency, the CIA, the FBI, the Secret Service.
434
It is that person who's a middle manager, who gets on the job, who pretty much can't get fired, who's there for the next 30 plus years.
435
They're the ones who are the deep state.
436
They're the ones who cause problems.
437
Because the president, he's gone in four years or eight years.
438
Politicians
439
and go to and they're political appointees they come and go
440
so it's not
441
that you have to worry about these people you have to
442
worry about the people who are embedded in the u .s
443
government who are going to be here next 30 years those are the deep state those are the problem solvers
444
and yes i saw it in my time with the cia
445
unfortunately they're everywhere uh oh speaking british friends will the u .s
446
and the uk continue to be allies yes forever hopefully uh we're awesome we get along
447
that we work with the UK on that I can't mention right now.
448
But yes, I hope we'll continue to be allies for a very long time.
449
Should we trust the government?
450
Of course not.
451
Come on.
452
The governments have their own self -interest, right?
453
Governments want to do what's good for governments.
454
They don't really care about the American public.
455
Remember when I talked about government?
456
What is the government full of?
457
Politicians who care about getting re -elected.
458
Not really about you and me, which is why you got to prepare.
459
I'm a prepper.
460
I have a year supply of food storage for every member of my family.
461
I have hundreds of gallons of water stored.
462
I got guns and ammo.
463
Get her done.
464
Yes, I do.
465
I am prepared for the apocalypse, my friends if the world ends.
466
Does the CIA listen through our phones and laptop cameras?
467
Yes.
468
I hate to say it.
469
They can take over your smart television and turn the speaker into a microphone
470
so that they can listen to what's being said in the room even when the TV is turned off.

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.
