Most people think improving their communication is about learning how to articulate their thoughts more clearly and confidently.

But after 15 years as a communication coach, I've learned that how you think you sound and how you actually sound to others are two very different things.

And there are 10 speaking habits that are creating this gap.

And I'm going to walk you through all 10 in order of how much they cost you professionally.

And I'm going to show you the exact behavior you should replace those bad ones with

so you can close the gap between how you Think you sound versus how you actually sound and come across.

So let's start with number 10 and It's still blurry

because I'm not gonna reveal it just yet I want you to see

if you can actually spot what number 10 is through this example um

Andy I got a um Cup of coffee like you know like um like um Um, do you want it?

Did you manage to work it out?

Number 10 is using non-words and filler words.

When you see someone who talks like this, their speech littered with non-words and filler words, what are some words that come to your mind?

What do you perceive about them?

You're going to think they're shy.

You're going to think they're awkward.

Low levels of confidence.

They're not competent.

Can you see how much this simple non-functional behavior is costing you?

This is one of the first things I get our students to minimize immediately when they join us in our stage programs.

When you speak like this, it sounds like you're all over the place.

It seems like you're a scatterbrain.

And there's no clarity in your speech.

To reduce the non-words and filler words, well, what do you replace it with?

What I just did.

A pause.

That's it.

That's what you replace it with.

Every time you feel the urge to say, um, ah, just pause.

Let me show you how powerful this one changes with one of my students.

Have a look at this.

So, throughout medical school I've always wanted to be a physician, so, you know, looking after your heart,

lungs, and, you know, I just went to the wards and...

You're feeling a lot of the silence with the ums, ahs and a so.

No so's, ahs or ums.

And very conscious of replacing the ums and the ahs and the so's with silence.

I went into medical school thinking that I've always wanted to just help humanity,

save lives, do big changes.

Little did I know that it's not all about saving lives, that life and death, it's about changing quality of life.

Big round of applause.

How much better did she sound?

Full of confidence and authority.

Now, next, number nine.

Trailing off at the end of your sentences.

This is when you start your sentences strong like this, But then after you continue to talk for a

while your voice starts to lose its energy and you become really croaky

And then by the end of it you start to sound

like a villain who is trying to take over the world Do you hear that drop?

That's called vocal fry

and it's more common than you think Your brain doesn't even register you're doing it

because most people don't think about how they're speaking They only focus on what they're saying

So what do you replace this bad habit with, Vin?

You give every single word in the sentence the same amount of breath

and energy that you give to the very first word.

Same fuel from start to finish.

You start your sentences strong like this and as you continue,

make sure every single word has the same amount of breath and energy right to the very last word.

Did you notice the difference?

Did you feel the difference?

Did you hear the difference?

that's the line between a communicator who holds your attention all the way through the thought

and the one who loses you halfway without even realizing.

Now the next habit, this one is the equivalent of handing someone a beautifully wrapped gift

and then whispering it's probably not what you wanted and it's probably shit right before they open the gift.

Number eight apologizing for your own ideas.

I see this in almost every single person who's early in their career.

They devalue their own ideas before the other person has the chance to hear it with a phrase like, sorry just a quick question,

it's probably a bad idea but I want to say I might be wrong about this

but um and what you've done without realizing is you've told the listener that you don't truly fully believe in yourself.

You've given them permission to just dismiss you before you've even shared the idea.

These verbal flinches are called softeners and they show up most when we feel like we haven't earned the right to speak.

The problem is the softener becomes the first thing the listener hears so your ideas walk into the room already limping.

The replacement it's simple get rid of the apology remove the I think

and if the idea is worth saying say it clean.

Direct statements no softeners.

Have a look at the difference um I might be wrong about this

but I think maybe we should kind of try to post more content on social media

because you know it will help the world become better communicators.

I don't know what do you think?

My suggestion is we need to post more content across our social media because it will help the world become better communicators.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Vin on the left sounds weak, unsure, whereas Vin on the right sounded more assertive and firm.

Which one do you think is more influential.

Pretty obvious, right?

On to number seven.

Rushing when you get nervous.

This happens to all of us.

We speak in front of people, we get nervous, and because of this, we unconsciously talk faster.

Because we just want to get it over and done with.

And in this moment, you think speeding up will make everything better, but in actual reality, it does the opposite.

It makes you sound worse.

Let me play you something that will just drive this point home.

Oh my goodness, that sounds so bad.

It sounds like a car crash.

What you just heard was one of the most beautiful piano pieces ever written by Chopin.

Played at two times speed, three times speed.

Every note was correct, but your brain registered it as a bloody car crash.

Now here's what the piece sounds like when it's given room to breathe. So much nicer.

It's the same notes but a completely different experience.

100

And the difference is exactly what rushing does to your communication when you're nervous.

101

Everything you actually wanted the listener to feel gets lost in the speed.

102

You might be saying all the right things but they are going to receive it in the wrong way.

103

The fix, it's counterintuitive.

104

When you get nervous your body's going to naturally want to speed up.

105

So in that moment when you notice it happen, you have to go against it by slowing down.

106

And when you do this, it gives your brain more time to think clearly.

107

Take some more deep breaths and give your words more space.

108

Add more pauses.

109

And suddenly it signals to your nervous system that you're safe, which calms you down.

110

The moment I just did it, don't you immediately feel more calm too?

111

So the benefit of doing this is that it calms you and it calms everybody else in your environment.

112

And I really want you to pay attention to how you feel

113

when someone else is speaking fast versus when they slow down and get nervous.

114

Let me show you a real example with one of my students.

115

Check this out.

116

What I should be trying to do is try to make the a better place.

117

I don't have to be a law intern at PwC or Asher or whatever you know.

118

When we're nervous the first thing we do is we increase our rate of speech

119

and we speak quickly because we just want this to be over

120

and done with so then we keep talking

121

and we just keep pacing through and then I'm going to move on to the next thing that I did.

122

So my parents they grew up in China

123

and it became a real way of thinking that was fully focused on academic performance and exterior perceptions of success.

124

Pause.

125

Big round of applause for that.

126

Good.

127

Now, when you went slower, did you feel a bit more relaxed?

128

100%.

129

Ah, okay.

130

So a slow rate of speech not only makes other people relaxed, it relaxes you.

131

Pretty crazy difference, right?

132

Now, if we want to zoom out and ask why does your body speed up in the first place, the answer leads straight into the next one, which is number six.

133

And number six is you make it all about you instead of making it all about the audience.

134

This one is a psychological habit that all humans have.

135

So don't feel bad if you do this.

136

Say, for example, you're called to give a pitch as an entrepreneur.

137

You are called upon by your team to share one of your ideas.

138

Or you are asked to do a speech at a wedding, a best man, a maid of honor.

139

Or maybe you get invited to speak at a company conference or even the TEDx stage.

140

What happens immediately at that point?

141

You start to immediately think, oh my God, what if the pitch goes bad?

142

Oh my god, what if I forget what I'm going to say?

143

What if I make a fool of myself and embarrass the bride and the groom?

144

What if they don't like my talk?

145

What if my speech doesn't get any views?

146

What if they leave mean comments about me?

147

It's me me me all the time You are stuck in

148

a psychological loop thinking about yourself non-stop The more self-obsessed you are the more self-conscious you become

149

and the more you put the focus on you the worse speech you're going to give

150

because you're no longer present you are now stuck in your own head

151

which means what which means you're going to deliver poorly

152

because there's no cognitive capacity left for delivery I remember back in 2019 I was in Florida

153

and I was coaching a CEO to deliver a speech to two

154

and a half thousand people in his organization

155

and right before his presentation I'm backstage with him

156

and he's feeling really nervous he's saying to me oh I

157

don't think I'm ready for this I feel my my suit doesn't even look good on me today.

158

I don't think I can do it.

159

What if I say the wrong thing?

160

What if I forget my lines?

161

I don't think I'm creating the right impression with what I'm wearing then.

162

And he was freaking out.

163

I had to stop him right there and then.

164

And I said to him, mate, it's not about you.

165

It's about the two and a half thousand people you are about to serve.

166

Get out of your damn head.

167

Otherwise, I'm going to slap you.

168

It's not about you.

169

You're here to serve the audience.

170

And I was pretty sure he was going to fire me after that, but he liked that I being a little bit spicy with him

171

and you know what that snapped him out of it

172

and he went out there and he crushed it

173

so the next time you notice this pattern starting to happen this loop reverse it

174

and become more audience conscious think to yourself

175

if this message gets through just the one person I'm going to change the trajectory of their career their life

176

and their level of happiness

177

and think today's not about me it's all about those beautiful souls I'm about to speak to

178

and the best thing is once you become audience conscious there's no cognitive capacity left for you to be self-conscious

179

which means there's an automatic reduction in nervousness anxiety and self-doubt.

180

On to number five unblur speaking your thoughts out loud most people

181

when they're put under the spotlight and they're asked a question

182

that they don't know the answer to they default to speaking their thinking process

183

and a lot of the times it's messy

184

and it's all over the place it's raw it's confusing

185

because the listener doesn't know if you're trying to make a point or you're still building one in your head.

186

Now I just want to flag something really quickly here

187

if you actually want people to see your thinking

188

and hear your thinking process in real time that's okay you

189

just need to make sure you frame it first by saying

190

something like let me just think out loud for a second

191

and just by saying and

192

that it gives you permission to ramble a little as you're finding your point and you're finding what you want to say.

193

But what I'm going to suggest is don't think out loud.

194

Structure your thinking first with communication frameworks, then speak.

195

Watch this.

196

Peter, my head of content, is about to ask me a question about the green screen and watch me answer this without a communication framework.

197

Hey Vin, I'm just wondering why did you get a cloth green screen instead of a paper one?

198

Paper just feels a little bit risky, Peter.

199

I mean sorry, not risky.

200

I mean, like annoying.

201

You know, like the paper, the one that we use before, it ends up looking kind of like trashed, you know?

202

And like, it doesn't get weirdly stuck on specific green, different types of green colors, the inconsistency in paper that exists, because what probably is unnecessary...

203

Yeah.

204

Did you notice how annoyed Peter seemed?

205

Did you feel your brain trying to keep up?

206

That's what it's like being on the receiving end of unstructured thoughts.

207

Every idea leaves your mouth in the order your brain produced it, which is almost never the order your listener needs to hear it in.

208

Most people communicate like this their entire lives because nobody ever taught them how to turn their thoughts into words with structure.

209

It's like ordering something online and instead of it arriving in a box, it turns up on your doorstep in a pile of loose parts, things all over the place with a note that says,

210

good luck mate, all the parts are there, but the listener now has to assemble it in real time with some pages missing from the manual.

211

Now I want you to watch me talk to Peter now using a communication framework called Para.

212

Hey Vin, I'm just wondering why did you get a cloth green screen instead of a paper one?

213

Well, point.

214

I went with cloth because it just makes more sense for us.

215

Action.

216

I've done hours of research, Peter, and I've discovered that cloth is just way more durable.

217

Result.

218

And the result is what you see right in front of you here, Peter.

219

I got it also in the gecko green

220

because this is way easier to key in post in post

221

and then finally ask

222

so peter do you want to take this for a test drive later how much better was

223

that i said we'll do the test later why am i

224

floating in space this is ridiculous all right fine i guess

225

we're doing this in space at least i got a helmet

226

on let's round out my thoughts on this do you see

227

how using frameworks makes you easier to understand para is just one of many frameworks

228

that help you structure your thinking

229

and i've recorded a full two-hour training on the top three communication frameworks

230

that will help you turn your thoughts into words faster in personal and professional settings.

231

Scan the QR code, it's floating around in space with me, or you can click the link that's in the description and you can access that training immediately.

232

Okay Peter, you can- oh oh oh look oh okay Peter, I see what's going on, we're starting to go down, yeah!

233

Whoa Peter, Peter, Peter this is going too fast!

234

Peter not too fast!

235

Peter!

236

No!

237

No!

238

Oh, wow, that was dramatic, Peter, but thank you.

239

You made that extremely engaging for the listener.

240

Peter surely deserves a like and subscribe for that one, right?

241

Otherwise, seriously, one of these days I will fire him.

242

Let's stay locked in.

243

Number four!

244

Yeah, I'm leaving it blurry.

245

Because I've got a little scene here, a little example, that is an example of Vin pre-2015.

246

And I want you to watch this, to see if you can spot what number four is and what I'm doing wrong.

247

Have you finished writing the Weekly V newsletter yet?

248

Or actually, just when can you get it to me?

249

Oh man, yeah, no worries now.

250

I mean, like, before we get into that, I've got to tell you why it's called Weekly V.

251

I mean, do you know why it's called Weekly V?

252

Because there's actually a backstory behind it.

253

Because if you look at the V and the G, the V stands for Vin, which is spelled V-I-N-H.

254

Sometimes people spell it without the H, it drives me crazy because it's not Vin, it's Vin with a silent H, it's so obvious.

255

And then the G is for the Jiang, which is again spelled G-I-N-G.

256

And then Weekly V because he gets a weekly email from Vin.

257

Do you see what I mean?

258

That's the backstory which is rather critical as to the branding behind the whole thing.

259

Did you spot it?

260

Number four is all backstory and no point.

261

I wasn't listening to Dan.

262

Dan asked me a simple specific question and instead of answering it directly, I rambled a backstory about why I call my emails Weekly V,

263

which he's never actually asked for.

264

The question was gone.

265

And here's what I want you to notice.

266

What's really happening beneath the surface here is that you're worried

267

that the other person you're speaking to won't have enough context with a simple answer.

268

So you overload them with the details, which does exactly that.

269

It overwhelms the listener with everything you think they need instead of what they actually wanted in the first place.

270

And when this happens too often, you become that person who everyone thinks says a lot without saying much at all.

271

And trust me, you don't want to be that person.

272

So the fix is a small physical habit that retrains the whole pattern.

273

When someone speaks to you, before you answer, repeat the core question back to them.

274

Ah, the ETA for the emails?

275

Yeah, I'm finishing them right now and I'll have them to you by 5 p.m today at the latest.

276

Notice that?

277

one short sentence and what it does is it tells the speaker that they've been heard.

278

It gives your brain a beat to actually process what was asked, which gets you out of your head and into the present moment.

279

If they want the backstory or more context, they will ask you for it.

280

Or you can just add a question at the end of the response like this.

281

Did you have any questions?

282

Did you need any more context or clarity?

283

Is there anything else that I can add to make things more clear?

284

now you're presenting the opportunity for them to ask you

285

if they need more details as opposed to you front loading

286

when in a lot of cases is just not needed nor

287

wanted all right these are the final three the most important the ones

288

that cost you the most in your career

289

if you're doing them habit number three interrupting people before they're finished talking oh man i'm so guilty this one.

290

I still do this quite often and my wife hates it.

291

If you're like me and sometimes you've got a million things running in your head at once

292

and you're in a conversation with a friend and they're talking to you, do you sometimes finish their sentences?

293

And you do this because you're trying to be helpful

294

and you're trying to show the other person look how well I know you

295

but they feel like you're just trying to rush them to the finish line

296

that you don't have the patience to listen to them

297

and you know what's even worse often

298

when you try to do this you're often wrong

299

which is even more annoying for them

300

because they now have this go no no no no no

301

that's what i'm trying that's not what i'm trying to say

302

let me show you what i mean i just did this the other day with one of my team members

303

and this is how it went hey then i've been meaning to talk about your future here here with us

304

yeah that's right because lately i've been a little bit concerned about team morale say no more No Vin,

305

I'm talking about the folder on the- The folder that contains footage, surveillance footage of you 2007,

306

February 14th The one that the police office want from us

307

but you won't release the files Is that the one you're talking about?

308

No!

309

Right, right, yeah, I didn't think it was that I didn't think it was that Look, I was talking about the folder on my computer

310

that says May Giveaway It's something you wanted to talk about to the YouTube audience Oh yeah, yeah, sorry, totally forgot, sorry, forgot you were here Listen,

311

this entire May, we're doing giveaways into the online course, into my virtual stage programs, and into my in-person workshops that's happening this August.

312

And if you want to join the giveaway, just click the link below, and if you win, all the expenses will be paid for.

313

So hopefully you join.

314

Thank you, Peter.

315

I almost forgot about that.

316

That was such a good segue, man.

317

And it wasn't jarring, was it?

318

No, I was...

319

Can you stop trying to finish my...

320

Sentences!

321

Finish your sentences!

322

No, can you stop trying to eat my...

323

Sandwiches!

324

Sandwiches!

325

No!

326

Oh man, how annoying is that?

327

Oh damn it Vin, you're an annoying bastard.

328

I know, I talk to myself, it's a sign of intelligence and insanity.

329

Now, if you've just watched that and thought to yourself, hang on, that might be me.

330

Stick with me for a moment, because I want to give you a way out.

331

The deeper reason as to why this happens is usually because you're uncomfortable with silence.

332

You've trained yourself to fill the gap in every conversation.

333

So when someone's thinking about what to say next, You just jump in with what you think they're going to say and you're not listening anymore.

334

Stop.

335

Learn to be more comfortable with the silence.

336

So here's the fix and it's two behaviors working side by side.

337

Note these down.

338

Behavior number one.

339

When you feel that urge to jump in, don't wait until they've finished talking.

340

Let them complete their thought on their own.

341

They're a grown adult.

342

They can do it.

343

And even once they've finished, don't reply yet either.

344

hold space sit in the silence for a full two seconds

345

and count it out in your head don't say a single word it's going to feel

346

so strange at first especially if you're someone who butts in all the time

347

but just do it anyway because here's what's going to surprise you

348

when you hold space for someone like

349

that most of the time they keep talking they'll tell you more about their day

350

or what they're experiencing or what they're feeling they'll go deeper than they were planning to

351

because the silence gave them permission to.

352

Most people never get that much room in a conversation.

353

So when they get it, they're going to use it.

354

Behavior number two, if they don't go deeper on their own

355

and you want them to go deeper and you want to go deeper together, hold the same two second pause and this time ask five words.

356

Tell me more about that.

357

And then go quiet again.

358

Don't say anything.

359

Shut up.

360

Don't fill the space.

361

Let them fill it.

362

those are the two behaviors wait two seconds before they reply

363

and if you want them to go deeper

364

because they didn't do it themselves pause for a little bit

365

longer then ask for the depth by asking them the five words I said before do those two things consistently

366

and the interrupting habit dies on its own habit number two

367

main character syndrome for seven solid years between the ages of 21 and 28,

368

I tried way too hard to be interesting and to make everything about me in every conversation.

369

My weekend, my latest business, my gym routine, my relationship drama, my childhood trauma, my next big idea.

370

Every topic became a doorway back into my own life.

371

And I know you've got someone like this in your life, we all do, it's super annoying and if you don't know anyone it means it's most likely you.

372

Because in this day and age, main character syndrome is the most common communication disease on earth.

373

But here's the tragedy, when you have main character syndrome it feels like you're the life of the party, you're the storyteller, you're the funny one right?

374

You're the person with the big opinions and the wild weekends.

375

Meanwhile your relationships are slowly deteriorating one by one

376

and you don't even notice

377

because the people who love you the most they're the ones who are likely to stay silent about it

378

and not say anything because who wants to sit across from a friend

379

and say hey man you talk too much about yourself it's really exhausting and I actually don't like you.

380

Nobody wants to have that conversation because they don't want to hurt their friends

381

and then slowly and surely they just start pulling away

382

and they stop opening up around you

383

because well you create no space for them to open up anyway

384

but what I can tell you based on experience is

385

that in a few years they begin to notice their friendships feeling hollow their relationships feeling more cold

386

and they just don't understand why

387

and I want you to pause for a second just a moment

388

and really ask yourself the hard question could this be me

389

because outside of this video almost nobody has the courage to

390

tell you your partner doesn't want to hurt you your closest

391

friend is worrying it's going to damage the friendship your family will just put up with it

392

which means the only person who could diagnose main character syndrome is me

393

and you right now and you've got to be really honest with yourself whether this is you

394

or it's someone you know let me tell you what i did to secure this.

395

One afternoon I was reading a book by Dale Carnegie.

396

It was his classic book, How to Win Friends and Influence People.

397

And while I was reading the book, I did this, right?

398

I did this.

399

So I read it.

400

I read this really powerful line.

401

I closed it and I went...

402

And to me, that's how I know I just read something epic when I actually stopped reading, closed the book and ponder on the very thing that I read.

403

And this was the sentence that stopped me.

404

The most interesting people in any room are the people most interested in everyone else.

405

my entire life.

406

I thought the path to being interesting was to be the best storyteller in the group,

407

to make sure my version of my weekend always sounded more wild than anybody else on the table.

408

Every dinner was a competition and I had to be the winner.

409

That one line from the book changed the way I thought about this completely.

410

Think about the last person you walked away from and thought, wow, that person's amazing.

411

nine times out of ten they barely spoke about themselves they asked about your life

412

and they listened like they had all the time in the

413

world weeks later they could still recall the things you were

414

talking about the cure is a ratio for every story

415

that you tell about yourself ask three questions to the person

416

in front of you three for one don't be the person

417

that just keeps talking about themselves I've made

418

that very very clear be the person who asks the other

419

people questions a first question then a second question then a third question

420

if people leave a conversation feeling seen feeling heard

421

and feeling understood they'll remember you as more interesting than anyone else they've ever met

422

and this now leads me to the final bad speaking habit

423

that you need to get rid of before it defines you

424

bad habit number one is sounding the same your your whole damn life.

425

Yep, sounding the same your whole damn life.

426

Most people get stuck in a default way of communication

427

and they become attached to this one way of speaking because they think, this is how I speak normally.

428

So in order for me to be authentic, this is how I should speak for the rest of my life.

429

No, no, no, no. Do you know what the problem with this is?

430

If this is how I normally talk in every situation in my life right now, how do you think people would define me?

431

What would they think of my personality?

432

Yeah, they'll think I'm pretty boring and disinterested, right?

433

Because the truth is, your voice is your personality.

434

People perceive your personality through the way you use your voice.

435

And if you use your voice in just one way, that version of you is the reputation people create for you.

436

I really want you to understand what I'm about to say here.

437

There isn't just one version of you.

438

You are a multi-dimensional human being.

439

There are infinite versions of you.

440

You use your voice differently in different contexts, in front of different people, and in different environments.

441

You're different in all of those different situations.

442

For example, when I talk to you through a camera lens, this is how I need to communicate in order to effectively

443

get my point across to engage you on the other side of the screen.

444

But when I stop recording and I go to have lunch with my team, I back off a little bit.

445

I'm a little more playful.

446

And I talk in a much more light-hearted way.

447

And when I get home to play with my kids you better bet your ass I get even more high-pitched

448

and really be playful with my voice Because they love it

449

when dad does this and dad gets all silly They have a really good time

450

But then when I'm halfway through playing with my kids

451

and I get a call from Peter all of a sudden

452

He's really upset now about how much I keep interrupting him

453

Then I might go into a more serious tone and then when he starts crying

454

then I might be a little more apologetic and say sorry Peter I didn't know you were so soft.

455

Did you get the point that I'm trying to make here?

456

I use my voice differently depending on the situation that I'm in

457

and so should you and does that make us fake if we do this?

458

No it doesn't.

459

I can tell you right now most people never change the way they communicate

460

because they're afraid of sounding fake and phony

461

but I'm gonna share with you a metaphor now that's gonna break this false belief

462

and get you unstuck your voice is an instrument it's like a piano with 88 keys imagine

463

that right most people spend their entire lives only playing with five keys on their piano

464

and they don't realize

465

that the goal is you've got to learn how to play

466

with all 88 keys learn how to play the whole damn instrument to me this is authenticity inauthenticity is

467

when you're just playing like this to me this is inauthentic.

468

Authenticity is when you're able to express your full self

469

because once you truly understand this you're no longer gonna feel trapped

470

when you play those new keys you don't start to think they're fake

471

and phony you just go oh right right right right right

472

I'm just really familiar with these five keys these other keys I'm playing with over here

473

and these other keys I'm playing with over here they are just unfamiliar

474

and the moment you think they're unfamiliar as opposed to fake

475

and phony Now you've freed yourself to explore your whole darn instrument, the one you've been carrying your entire life

476

Which allows you then to not be

477

so attached to who you are in the present

478

So you can give the future version of you a chance and

479

when you can learn how to use your voice in the

480

most effective way In the right situations you become truly influential

481

So tell me which habits do you need to change and work on?

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
