Ryan: 1 star reviews on theme parks are probably the most concerning types of 1 star reviews.

I'm going to 3 iconic theme parks this week, all of which are concerning for different reasons. My only rule for this video is: I have to leave a 5 star review at each theme park, but I can't lie.

First up: Universal Studios, baby.

Guys, it's me.

Ryan. Don't let the hat fool you!

I'm here at Universal Studios.

I've always wanted to come here.

I came on a Monday thinking it wouldn't be very busy at all.

It's packed.

That's actually what most of the 1 star reviews are about.

The wait times. Jennelle can kick us off: "Mario Land?

More like Waitland.

What a joke!" 1 star.

That sounds like something I would say. I like Jennelle, I like Jennelle.

David said: Jurassic Park ride was trash.

What a waste! Never coming back ever. Not even for free.

Universal sucks Mario's * cheeks.

Good luck, y'all! I'ma be at Disney for life." 1 star. I'm getting scared, Marc C. said: "My wife and I got stuck on Harry Potter ride for 3 hours, 15ft in the air.

My legs went numb and my wife started crying, because the couple behind us was screaming »riddikulus« and laughing.

Later I found out that is a spell in Harry Potter.

So that's actually pretty funny, considering the circumstances." 1 star. 3 hours suspended, 15ft in the air?

I have to...I'm gonna test that.

I'm gonna see if that's true.

Hu K. said: "Everyone watch out!" Why would you start a review like that?

That's...that's crazy.

"2 women working the 3D ride is super rude, calling me too short for the ride under 1.2m." Which I found out is less than 4 feet tall. "I ride others just fine.

I will keep report these 2 women." Hu! Let it go, dude!

Let it go! How much money does this place make?

And finally, Melvin said: "1 Gen Z working hot dog register, working at the speed of molasses. Took an hour to get the worst hot dog of my life.

Another Gen Z came to help, but it actually made things slower, because they started watching TikToks.

This country is screwed." 1 star. I can't...

I'm excited for my day today.

These 1 star reviews are concerning at best.

It's taken me a really long time even to get over here.

Like in this area. I saw Donkey, I saw Transformers.

There's a lot to like about my experience so far, but it's time to do some investigating.

To Mario Land!

What's the deal? Hey, guys!

Is that the wait time for the...

Girl 1 at Mario Land: This is the wait time. Ryan: 135 minutes?

Girl 2 at Mario Land: Yeah. Ryan: Let's get it!

Mario Land.

Many people are calling this Mario...

Mario Land, Waitland.

Girl in The Simpsons t-shirt: Yes. Ryan: I heard somebody out there was waiting for 2 hours.

Woman in The Simpsons t-shirt: Yeah, we waited, like, 3 hours the first time.

Ryan: How fun is this ride?

Woman in The Simpsons t-shirt: It has nice visuals.

Girl in The Simpsons t-shirt: Yeah.

Ryan: Okay. Good luck, guys!

Hey, Luigi! Nice. Brothers stick together.

Oh! Excuse me! Sorry!

Oh! Excuse me!

How long have you guys been waiting in line?

Guy with red hoodie: Maybe like an hour.

Ryan: Is it worth it or...

Guy with red hoodie: I don't know, we're about to find out.

We'll see. Ryan: Oh, my goodness! Good luck, guys!

It's looking more and more like Waitland by the minute.

People are trying to rename this place Waitland.

Man in sunglasses: I think that's a good call.

Ryan: That's a good call. Do you guys know Jennelle?

Blonde girl: No. Ryan: She's upset about this place.

Blonde girl: Oh! Ryan: What's your favorite Mario line, other than this one?

Boy: "It's me. Mario." Ryan: That's so good. That's my favorite.

Why was that impression insane?

After waiting in line for over an hour and barely making any progress, I decided to leave, so I could actually do other things.

I just watched someone's YouTube video of doing the, ride and it was satisfying enough for me. The line is even...

Is that the line? My goodness! I wasn't even close to that.

I feel like that would have been a 3 hour wait.

That's absurd. Jennelle...

Valid. Let's keep it moving!

So the next ride is this one. Which David said made him want to never come back to Universal, even for free.

Here we go. I'm trying to ride it.

Ryan: Would you? Art: No, I have.

I'll never get on it again.

Ryan: So you just said that you rode this ride, and you'll never go on it again.

Art: I rode this a while ago.

It's really nice. It's calm, but that drop... it's about a 60 foot drop.

Ryan: What? Oh, my goodness! Art: That's the reason I won't do it.

That drop is horrible.

Ryan: Oh, my gosh! Alright, Art.

Well, thank you!

Art: Alright, man. Take care! Ryan: Hey, cheers!

Art: Enjoy the ride! Don't pass out!

Ryan: Oh, God!

Okay. Guys!

I'm nervous. I'm nervous right now.

This hat is the only thing getting me through this.

Oh, no! Alright, guys, if I don't make it out, give my channel to Mr.

Beast! This ride is crazy.

We got launched into a river, where we rode past a bunch of dinosaurs.

These ones are cute. They're fighting over a hat.

Maybe that's why they say "No hats allowed".

Next thing I know: I hear that a T-Rex escaped and the only way to evacuate is down a 60 foot drop.

Oh, please! No!

Well... After the ride, I went to go look at the photo that they take of you.

Like your reaction. Everyone looks like they're having fun.

I mean, there's a few scared toddlers. But then there's me.

100

That...that was so scary.

101

One thing it was not, though, David: is trash.

102

That was sick. I thought that ride was very immersive, very fun, very cool.

103

I'm a big fan of dinosaurs, etc.

104

But I am definitely not going on it again.

105

Review: busted.

106

Okay, now we're gonna see if I can get stuck on Harry Potter for 3 hours.

107

Let's hit it! I've had my ups and downs in this theme park, no pun intended...but my mission has not changed. I have to leave a 5 star review and I can't lie.

108

And if I get stuck on this Harry Potter ride for 3 hours, that's gonna make my job nearly impossible. Guys, I have made it to Hogwarts.

109

I'm about to try to go on this ride.

110

It looks completely scary.

111

It's a real roller coaster.

112

Let's see if we get stuck for 3 hours!

113

The wait's gonna be 3 hours, and I'll be stuck for 3, so...hopefully I get out of this theme park by midnight.

114

Ryan: Hey! Universal Employee: Buddy, welcome! Signs.

115

Ryan: I feel so out of place in this hat.

116

Is it true this ride gets stuck sometimes? Woman: It does get stuck.

117

Ryan: I'm terrified. Does this ride get stuck?

118

Man in mask: Hopefully not. Ryan: Hopefully? Girl at Harry Potter: Have a good flight!

119

Ryan: Thank you! Bye-bye!

120

I can definitely see how this ride would get stuck.

121

It's kind of a mixture of like a conveyor belt, a roller coaster and an escalator, all in one. And potentially at the worst moment possible...

122

The ride slowed down.

123

It just slowed down. I thought it got stuck for a moment.

124

I don't feel so good.

125

Good news: I didn't get stuck.

126

If I got stuck on that ride, I would have actually...that would...

127

That would actually be like, my worst case nightmare situation.

128

I felt so sick.

129

I get motion sick so easy.

130

I don't know if you guys could see it, but my face...I was like...I was...I was not interested in continuing the ride.

131

Also, what was the deal with the employees saying that it got stuck?

132

Even if it does get stuck, you shouldn't admit it to people that are going on. Anyways, Mark. Even with all the information I've gotten, I still can't say that your review is valid. Busted. Time to test Hu's review. Mario out.

133

We have made it to the said 3D ride that Hu was talking about.

134

It's Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.

135

This was the height requirement that he was talking about, that the 2 women said that he...he wasn't tall enough to go on.

136

I'm actually really nervous, because I do get motion sick, but that's...that's not what the review is even about. That's not...this isn't about me.

137

This is about Hu's review being 1 star, because 2 women were super rude about his height. I have experienced that type of treatment, but I do have faith that he's lying. Let's hit it!

138

I'm tall enough for this?

139

Guy at Despicable Me: Uhh...I think so. Ryan: Okay, cool.

140

I was checking out everyone's height.

141

Everyone seemed pretty comparable.

142

I mean, there's children here.

143

I don't understand the height requirement, it's what I'm trying to say.

144

Bottom line is: they let me onto the ride.

145

I buckled my seat belt, and then I lived the life that Hu couldn't, and became a minion.

146

Hu! I was rooting for you.

147

I was rooting for you.

148

I was. But that that review is busted, 100%.

149

And finally, Melvin's review.

150

He's got beef with this hot dog stand.

151

He left a 1 star review, because apparently there are Gen Z people working, watching TikTok, working at the speed of molasses.

152

I'm gonna get a hot dog. We're gonna test this out.

153

Alright, I'm in line.

154

I don't know if...

155

I don't know if we can classify these guys as Gen Z. I would say this is generation X, millennials at best.

156

And they look like they're working fast.

157

Melvin, it's not looking good for you, dude.

158

It's not looking...I don't know. Can I get a...I just want a hot dog.

159

The hot dog combo, which is a plain hot dog basically.

160

Thank you! You guys are efficient.

161

Thank you so much! Well, I think it's pretty obvious that Melvin's review was...

162

It's busted.

163

I mean, not even close.

164

I understand that there might be more than one set of staff for the hot dog stand, but...

165

things went pretty well, as you can see.

166

Mhm! That's a good dog.

167

Oh, boy! Today was super fun.

168

I've enjoyed wearing this Mario hat all day long.

169

But there are many more theme parks that I've got to investigate.

170

Ugg! I think I'm ready to write my review for this place.

171

Next I was off to America's largest indoor water park.

172

The cool thing about this one is that: it's in Texas, so I just...I just drove there.

173

I'm just driving to it.

174

This place is not just a massive indoor water park.

175

It's also a resort.

176

It's a hotel resort.

177

I don't...there are a lot of reviews about different things at this place.

178

Okay? It's gonna be a lot to manage, but I'm here all night.

179

I'm actually spending the night here.

180

We've got some fun reviews here.

181

"Angelica at the bar, I hope you see this. You are just terrible.

182

I can't believe how rude you are.

183

Give me 5 seconds to order.

184

Please, let me look at the menu for more than a single second, before you get upset with me!

185

My advice..." It just ends. I'm so sorry, Mario!

186

That review came from the heart.

187

I feel like he had tears in his eyes as he wrote that.

188

I'm gonna try to find Angelica, but that review is not even close to being as concerning as Jennifer's.

189

"What a joke! Water was cold, freezing cold inside. I could barely move, almost frozen solid.

190

But you know what really P'd me the F off? The Sheer incompetence of the staff. We went Saturday 8/5/2026..." Which is...3 years in the future.

191

My watch is dead. It was...it was more for dramatic effect.

192

That date has not come yet.

193

"I left my Apple Watch in my locker and forgot it.

194

When I came back, security guard was wearing my Apple Watch and said it was his.

195

He said I can go talk to manager, so I did, and it was a 40 minute wait.

196

Yes, unfortunately someone was having seizure, but it doesn't take the whole staff to address that.

197

Then after all the waiting, I was told that I don't have an Apple Watch.

198

Everyone tells me I don't have an Apple Watch, even though I have a photo of me wearing it." I can't tell what the most concerning aspect of that review is.

199

The fact that the water almost froze you alive...

200

The fact that you don't care about someone having a medical emergency, the fact that the security guard stole your watch...or most concerning of all: the fact that you just claimed to be a time traveler.

201

I don't know how to test any of Jennifer's review.

202

Whatever happens in those 4 walls, you can't say I didn't warn you.

203

Also, Jasen said: "Don't go on any of the water slides, unless you want to be immobile for the next 2 weeks, if you know what I mean." I don't. I don't know what you mean, Jasen.

204

Finally, SL said: "Not coming back.

205

And if you are short, beware!" 1 star. Well, I'm in trouble.

206

Now, actually...I'm actually really concerned.

207

I don't know what that...you guys, I'm excited.

208

I'm nervous. I have so many questions.

209

But the only way I'm gonna find out the answers is: if I go check in.

210

Yeah, just on a business trip.

211

So...Whoa! Receptionist: Do you prefer any low floor, high floor?

212

Ryan: Um...high floor would be good. Receptionist: Okay.

213

Ryan: Better view. Receptionist: Yeah, right.

214

Ryan: Awesome. Bye-bye! Thanks!

215

I walked into my room, and honestly, I was just kind of shocked.

216

Yeah. This is just a really nice hotel.

217

So far, I love this place.

218

This place is completely beautiful and awesome.

219

Look at that hippo! That hippo is either fake, or extremely still.

220

So we've got a bunch of things to test here.

221

We're gonna see if my Apple Watch gets stolen, test out the water slides to see if I'm immobile after. We're also gonna be looking out for Angelica, the rude bartender.

222

And finally figure out why short individuals should beware.

223

Let's go to the waterpark!

224

I changed into my waterpark outfit.

225

Look at this cute little elephant towel!

226

Look at that! I also put on my credentials for the theme park.

227

This place must have cost an absolute fortune to build.

228

These slides are sticking out of the building.

229

Where am I? This isn't even the wall.

230

How big is this place?

231

After what felt like miles of walking, I scanned in, and it was time for our first test. The lockers.

232

I placed my bag and my Apple Watch in the locker, and now all I can really do is: wait.

233

And by wait, I mean: let's go have some fun! In the middle of the water park there's a massive TV, playing exclusively hits from the 2000s.

234

That's a bird. There's a bird there.

235

That's a painting I'm navigating around the water park.

236

It's completely massive in here.

237

It's huge. The main thing I'm concerned about before I try anything is the whole height thing, like for short people.

238

Don't get me wrong! I'm like, at least average height.

239

So...I'm gonna find some shorter locals at the water park, and see if I can get some Intel.

240

Ryan: I'm here with... Jeremy: Jeremy. Ryan: And... James: James.

241

Ryan: Jeremy and James. How tall are you?

242

Jeremy: 4'6".

243

Ryan: 4'6" and... James: 5'6.5".

244

Ryan: Okay.

245

That's concerning, because he's taller than me.

246

I tell people I'm 5'8".

247

James: Um...yeah, that's really believable.

248

Ryan: Okay. I saw a review that said this place is bad for short people.

249

Have you had any bad experiences for your height?

250

Jeremy: No. Ryan: So I'll be fine. Jeremy: Mhm!

251

Ryan: How tall are you? Boy in New York t-shirt: I'm about like, 5 foot.

252

Ryan: How tall are you? Boy in black t-shirt: I'm like, close to 5.

253

Ryan: I saw a review that said this place is bad for short people.

254

I'm short. How about for you?

255

Has it been good?

256

Boy in black t-shirt: Yeah, because the smaller you are, the faster you go. Ryan: I like that.

257

I noticed that a Short King Army was hitting the gritty in the distance.

258

It seemed as though they wanted me to join them.

259

I just wanna make something clear.

260

I'm not here to have fun. I'm not here to have a good time.

261

Oh! I'm here to test 1 star reviews, and leave an honest 5 star review at the end of this. So this is the craziest one.

262

It may look like I'm having fun, it may look like I'm having a blast. But right now, I'm testing a review that says short people should beware, while rolling deep with a group of 10 short kings.

263

I just don't think there's another YouTuber on this planet who's outworking me.

264

Hey! I came back to the hotel room.

265

I'm actually exhausted.

266

I had so much fun though.

267

We have already busted one of the 1 star reviews.

268

I'll kick it back to the waterpark for that one.

269

One of the 1 star reviews I wanted to test was SL's, who said that short people should just bow...beware. But I think we proved today: short Kings included that SL's review is...

270

Kids: Busted. Ryan: Busted.

271

They said busted. I do still have my Apple Watch in my locker.

272

I purposely left it there.

273

I'm a little worried I'm actually just gonna forget it.

274

Basically, my plan is to come back in the morning, and ask if they found it.

275

I'm genuinely nervous, because there's just tons of signs that say they're not responsible for lost items, which is fair.

276

So this might just be a stupid thing to do.

277

On top of that, I'm not really feeling immobile or anything, so I think that one's busted as well. However, I need to go to the restaurant and try to order something from a woman named Angelica, and see if she is rude.

278

I'm nervous for this one.

279

I am sitting at the bar.

280

I'm the only-one at the bar.

281

I am completely nervous.

282

The menu looks good.

283

It looks extensive.

284

I can see how 5 seconds is not enough time to order.

285

I'm about to order.

286

I don't know if my waiter is Angelica or not.

287

I'm extremely nervous though.

288

I'm gonna literally just say: "Can I get a...", and then wait for 5 seconds and not say anything, and see if...see if anyone's rude.

289

So...here...yep.

290

Ryan: Here we go. Ethan: What you thinking? Ryan: Um...

291

Let's see! Can I get the...

292

The classic burger.

293

Can we just spam in the comments: "We love Ethan"? He was actually a sweetheart.

294

We talked about football.

295

I ate my burger like a big boy.

296

Yes, I tear it in half.

297

I've been doing this, since I was like 5.

298

I don't know how to stop, I don't...

299

This is the only way I like to eat burgers.

300

But one thing is for sure: I need to find Angelica.

301

No Angelica.

302

Hey! Is Angelica working today?

303

I don't know...

304

Bartender: Angelica doesn't work.

305

Ryan: No Angelica. Hey, does the name Angelica ring a bell?

306

Staff: Yeah, I know Angelica.

307

Ryan: Oh, she works here? Staff: She's not here.

308

Guy in black hat & Ryan: No Angelica.

309

Guy in glasses & Ryan: No Angelica.

310

Ryan: Oh, sorry! Sorry! 1, 2, 3.

311

No Angel...Sorry!

312

Guy in glasses & Ryan: No Angelica.

313

Ryan: No Angelica.

314

I'm in bed. Guess this 1 star review is a cold case.

315

I thought that was a cool way to frame it.

316

It's really...I just couldn't test it, really. Makes me feel like a private investigator.

317

Kind of. All that to say: I had a great time.

318

I'm gonna watch some football and go to bed.

319

See you in the morning!

320

Boom! Good morning!

321

I'm gonna go try to get my Apple Watch from the locker.

322

Hopefully a security guard isn't wearing it.

323

There is no way! My Apple Watch is actually gone.

324

I started feeling sick to my stomach, to be honest, because...I didn't think this would happen to me. I left my Apple Watch in my locker last night.

325

Ryan: Am I able to grab it or... Woman at waterpark: Umm...I believe it's with Tom Foolerys.

326

Ryan: This is crazy. I think someone actually picked up my Apple Watch.

327

I left my Apple Watch in a locker last night.

328

Do you guys have...

329

Ryan: They said it was... Girl: Umm...in the water park?

330

Ryan: Yeah. Girl: I would check over there.

331

Ryan: Okay. Girl: There's someone at the desk. They should be able to help you.

332

Ryan: Okay. They were like: "I think Tom Foolery's has it". Girl: Oh! Ryan: So dramatic in there.

333

Everyone's like, arguing with each other about where the watch is.

334

Bottom line: this one's on me.

335

But I was really sad, because no-one knew where my watch was.

336

Well, you guys, my stay at this theme park has ended in an absolute travesty.

337

My Apple Watch Ultra has been lost.

338

This thing has been with me for so long.

339

It's so sad. Everyone on staff was being so helpful and trying to help me find it, but it just...it just genuinely seems like it's lost.

340

I test these reviews thinking: "There's no way that could possibly happen to me".

341

Yet, here I stand.

342

I did file a lost and found report, so not all hope is lost.

343

But I'm heading to the next theme park.

344

And unfortunately, this might be our first 4.9 star review.

345

Well, I can't stop now.

346

On to the next one. On my way to the final theme park.

347

Look who I brought! My dad.

348

It's gonna be a fun day.

349

You should go to Buc-ee's.

350

Ryan's dad: Yes. Ryan: We grew up in the Houston area, so this is like what you do.

351

We've never actually gone together.

352

We always talked about it going one day to Kemah Boardwalk, but this is the first time we've actually done it. So I'm very excited.

353

Ryan: You've been here. Ryan's dad: I believe so.

354

Ryan: Have you ridden any of the rides?

355

Ryan's dad: I don't recall.

356

Ryan: That could be a bad thing. That could be a really bad thing.

357

We're gonna read some 1 star reviews of this place.

358

You wanna read Claudia's?

359

Ryan's dad: "A crowd. Very humid place.

360

Restaurants lack, they all lack lack taste.

361

They should spell it »Bored walk« instead of »Boardwalk«, because I'm bored walking around here. Dirty water." Ryan's dad: 1 star. Ryan: Claudia! That's it.

362

That's concerning. I feel like she just did not have a good time.

363

That's okay. Dawn said: "Watch out for Blond hair girl whose name starts with a J!

364

The rudest person at an entertainment venue I've ever met.

365

First she yells at co-worker.

366

Then I see her yelling at a small boy?" Ryan's dad: That was me. Ryan: That was you?

367

Ryan's dad: Yeah. Ryan: The Yelp reviews from 1978.

368

We're gonna find that lady.

369

We're gonna find her. There's also a ton of reviews about how long the lines are...that the...

370

the wait for the rides are extremely long, so we'll see about...

371

We'll see. Lastly was just this picture of someone putting their hand in a funnel cake.

372

Ryan's dad: Why? Ryan: Are you willing to do that?

373

Ryan's dad: No. Ryan: It does look good.

374

We're gonna have to leave a 5 star review for this place at the end of the night, okay?

375

Ryan's dad: Yes. Ryan: Alright. Let's get after it!

376

Let's go! Yeah!

377

The first thing I noticed was: no-one was really waiting in line.

378

In fact, no-one was even really here.

379

First things first: I gotta find this blonde lady, whose name starts with a J.

380

Hey! Excuse me! You wouldn't happen to know a blonde lady whose name starts with a J?

381

Blonde guy: No. Ryan: I was curious.

382

You guys have anyone that works here who's blonde, whose name starts with a J?

383

Cashier: Jerica? Ryan: Is it Jerica?

384

Cashier: Our manager? Ryan: I just heard good things about her, I don't know.

385

Cashier: Well, she's a very good person. Ryan: Okay.

386

She's good. Jerica. Okay.

387

We found out her name is Jerica.

388

She's not working today, but he just said she's a very good person.

389

So another case closed.

390

One of the most common complaints about this theme park was the extremely long lines.

391

Ryan: No line, no line, no line, no line. Ryan's dad & Ryan: No Angelica.

392

Ryan: Another Short King Posse has spotted me.

393

Ryan: Short Kings! Boy in black hoodie: Birthday today.

394

Ryan: Oh, it's your birthday?

395

Happy Birthday! How old are you?

396

Jaden: Uh...12.

397

Ryan: Guys, we have to spam "Happy birthday, Jaden" in the comments.

398

We have to.

399

Everybody has to spam.

400

The bottom line is: there are none.

401

There's like, nobody here...except for my Short King Posse that I just ran into.

402

So we really have free reign at this park.

403

And me and my dad are about to have a blast.

404

Right after some funnel cake. We're gonna dip our hands in it.

405

That's really weird, I don't know.

406

Ryan: Okay, let's do it! Ryan's dad & Ryan: The funnel cake shop is closed.

407

Presumably the person who left a 1 star review, attended the theme park in summertime. This could turn out to be a positive thing for us, so our hands don't get sticky. Let's go have some fun!

408

Ryan: Even though on paper this theme park is probably the worst of the 3, I still had a blast. I think most of it is because I got to spend so much time with my dad.

409

Filming YouTube videos keeps me pretty busy.

410

I don't get to spend much time with my dad. And so going out to this theme park that we always said we wanted to go to growing up, was really special.

411

It was...it was actually a great time.

412

And because of that, the 5 star review was actually really easy to write.

413

I think this might be my Apple Watch.

414

This is from Kalahari Resorts.

415

Oh, my goodness! I'm gonna freak out if this is it.

416

No way! Let's put the review on the screen!

417

We're changing it to 5 stars.

418

Yay! Thanks for watching, everybody!

419

Click here to watch another video!

420

Yeah, just click...click right there on the screen!

421

YouTube thinks that you'll like that video.

422

They might be right. You might actually really like that video.

423

Could be a fun time.

424

Could be a good time.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
