Shadowing Practice: Fake Gurus Are Back - Learn English Speaking with Video
Les maken...
1
There are things in life I don't like,
2
like mayonnaise on burgers or pineapple on pizza.
3
But there's only one thing that I truly cannot stand.
4
You gotta sell something.
5
I don't know what you gotta sell,
6
but you gotta sell something.
7
This is what's happening tonight.
8
It's the masterclass on how to go from zero to a seven-figure revenue business.
9
When people say, oh, is this get-rich-quick?
10
You better hope that it is.
11
The get-rich-quick schemes, that's actually how this channel started with a series called Fake Gurus
12
dedicated to exposing all the grifters out there who got wealthy by selling people on how to get wealthies,
13
that sort of thing.
14
And there was a point at which,
15
believe it or not, we were winning the war.
16
The message was getting out there.
17
Hey, don't buy a get-rich-quick scheme.
18
But if I'm being honest,
19
we've been away for a while.
20
Talking about crypto, right?
21
And I've been slowly but surely hearing whispers on the wind that the grifters and fake gurus, They're back.
22
And this time, they've teamed up.
23
Like a gang of hyenas,
24
they've realized there's safety in numbers.
25
And to be honest, I don't know if I can stop them.
26
I'm talking, of course, about Jordan Belfort and Brian Rose's alliance and course.
27
That's right, the piss drinker of Wall Street and actual Wall Street fraudster.
28
Together, they have joined forces.
29
And individually, sure, I could probably take them.
30
But together, I'm not so sure.
31
I'm worried that their powers of persuasion might be too much even for me.
32
Coffeezilla, the internet detective.
33
So I want to warn you guys ahead of time.
34
Hold on to your wallets.
35
They may try to take them from you in this video.
36
And we're going to investigate the return of the fake gurus.
37
Here at London Real Studios,
38
I will be hosting a two day crypto,
39
DeFi, NFT and metaverse mastermind with the wolf of Wall Street himself, Jordan Belfort.
40
Jordan is an industry titan who's become a household name for his ability to build multi-million dollar companies
41
and work with the who's who of business and the blockchain.
42
No, wait, wait, wait, wait.
43
Pause it real quick.
44
Okay.
45
A lot to unpack here.
46
I feel I'm pretty unpersuaded,
47
to be honest with you.
48
First thing I got to say,
49
I love how they describe Jordan Belfort as being famous for building multimillion dollar businesses.
50
I mean, that's one way to frame it, I guess.
51
I mean, here I was,
52
I thought Jordan Belfort was famous for scamming people,
53
going to jail and then having Leonardo DiCaprio play him in a movie.
54
But, you know, who am I kidding?
55
I'm not hosting the crypto mastermind,
56
The Wolf in the Rose.
57
That's what they call this, by the way.
58
The other thing I want to talk about real quick is the price for this two-day event, this mastermind.
59
I mean, how much would you pay to get the two titans of this industry teaching you? $100,
60
maybe $200 for two days?
61
Wrong answer.
62
The price of going to this event is $24,000.
63
Ladies and gentlemen, that's almost the price of a Bitcoin,
64
just so you can hear the two biggest grifters on earth try to sell you on buying Bitcoin.
65
I mean, they really do pitch themselves in this as sort of the experts in the field of cryptocurrency.
66
With gourmet catering throughout each day and a strictly limited number of places available,
67
this is a unique opportunity to be personally tutored by two
68
of the most recognizable former Wall Street traders who are now at the forefront of the crypto industry.
69
I mean, once again, I don't mean to quibble here,
70
but most recognizable how?
71
This is a more shameless duo than if Elizabeth Holmes and Trevor Milton started a how to start a business masterclass.
72
I mean, you're right.
73
You'd be technically recognizable.
74
All right.
75
And can we just talk for a second about Jordan Belfort?
76
I mean, what happened to that guy?
77
I thought he was like teaching how to sell a pin or something.
78
Instead, he's selling investment advice again,
79
and you'd think he would have learned his lesson.
80
I mean, he ruined his life as a scammer,
81
got federally indicted, went to prison,
82
and then he came out.
83
He probably thought his life was over only to have his career resurrected by none other than Leonardo DiCaprio.
84
You'd think at that point, you've made it, right?
85
You've been the guy who got struck by lightning and survived.
86
You'd think you'd hang it up.
87
You'd ride it out, being the guy who got the second chance and made the best of it.
88
But instead, Jordan Belfort is selling shameless crypto masterminds.
89
And this isn't even his first one.
90
The New York Times actually reported on a previous one he did charging $40,000 a pop,
91
which I guess the lowered price is because of Brian Rose being a part of it,
92
which makes sense.
93
And look, I'm not saying this is illegal, right?
94
They know that it's not illegal to sell overpriced courses.
95
It's just a pretty scummy,
96
disgusting thing to do because they know they don't know how to make you rich with crypto.
97
They don't know whether the price is gonna go up,
98
down, left, right, or sideways,
99
which is why instead of actually investing themselves and making money that way,
100
they sell you on how to do it and tell you that you're gonna make money.
101
I mean, just to give you an idea of the absolute lack of credibility of these guys,
102
let's actually talk about some of the crypto calls they've made in the past.
103
Brian Rose, for example, on May 5th,
104
posted a live stream about Terra Luna saying,
105
why you need to know about it,
106
how it had all this value locked in it.
107
That was two days before it crashed to zero.
108
And Brian deleted this tweet.
109
He also posted on May 3rd about crypto.com's best kept secret
110
and why you need to know about Kronos the day after they slashed their rewards
111
and their price started to fall and plummet.
112
And look, Jordan Belfort is a little bit better, but only slightly.
113
Like in 2017, he said Bitcoin was bad.
114
But then in near March 2021,
115
near the all time high of Bitcoin,
116
Jordan Belfort all of a sudden jumps on the bandwagon and says he's a bull.
117
Says it's going to 100K.
118
I think what happens first before anything long term,
119
I think it goes higher technically,
120
probably to 100,000 or more.
121
But what happens over the long term,
122
I still think is an open question.
123
I'm a bull, certainly for the short term.
124
And I love blockchain technology overall.
125
Now, of course, Bitcoin did not go to $100,000 in the short term and instead is trading at $27,000,
126
which is half of the price you would have bought it at had you bought
127
when Jordan Belfort suddenly jumped on the Bitcoin bandwagon.
128
And these are the guys,
129
mind you, who are supposed to teach you the secrets of wealth in crypto.
130
The only real secret being that there's anyone still left buying these guys ridiculous courses
131
because Jordan Belfort is an actual former criminal who got indicted for defrauding people.
132
And Brian Rose is a well-known grifter who dances on a new topic every day.
133
One day it's the digital freedom platform.
134
Then he's running for mayor.
135
Now he's doing this DeFi grift,
136
which he will, of course,
137
abandon as soon as it's inconvenient.
138
So if you're buying this,
139
understand that you're not learning about the opportunity.
140
You are the opportunity.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
