1
Most of our world is hidden in darkness.
2
This is the deep sea, which is the vast majority of our planet.
3
And even here on Google Earth, we're looking at digitally modeled shadings of the ocean floor, not pictures of the surface like we have on land.
4
And forever I thought that's because there wasn't much to look at out here.
5
Just an endless blue expanse.
6
Hard to travel to, not much going on.
7
But a few months ago my colleague Kristoff told me that there's something happening out here.
8
Something worth looking at.
9
I have a story that I think we could do together
10
that I think takes advantage of the things in reporting
11
that you're good at and the things in reporting that I'm good at.
12
Christoph's thing is diving into mysteries using internet tools and open source intelligence.
13
My thing is mapping.
14
What happens next is a dedicated effort to peek behind the curtain of this pixelated,
15
fuzzy blueness to see what happens on the high seas when seemingly no one is looking.
16
But lately, someone has been looking contact to say we saw you, okay my wife, phone number.
17
The players who are out there who are not transmitting and those are often some of the bad actors, you know, because they've gone dark for a reason.
18
I think there's a real power in just making this data visible, making it accessible so that anyone can see it.
19
So there is no hiding this activity because it's all visible now.
20
Now we can put it all together on a map to shine a light on this dark space.
21
To reveal tens of thousands of vessels that right now are on the high seas, hiding from view.
22
Kristoff and I want to find out what they're up to.
23
There's a lot going on down there that they're not showing us.
24
So how do we track ships?
25
I've been doing a bit of reading on this already
26
and the main system of keeping tracks of where ships are at any point in time is called the automatic identification system.
27
AIS, it's the most generic name possible.
28
At a basic level allows any vessel to see the traffic that's happening around it and to be seen by that traffic.
29
And when you look at like a map of what all of them look like, you know, air traffic control for the entire ocean.
30
Geez, wow, this is crazy.
31
It's a stunning amount of detail in real time that's publicly available.
32
I guess we're starting out with this reality
33
that like we have a pretty good set of eyes on the high seas
34
because every one of these ships has its GPS turned on all the time by law.
35
Right.
36
So we have a pretty solid way of seeing what's going on out there.
37
It's like pretty solid, but if you look at what an AIS transponder actually looks like, you can kind of see where the problem is.
38
Because essentially like these things are required to have on legally, but in practice the ship's master can just press that button.
39
They can turn it off and the ship effectively disappears from that map.
40
They disappear from public view and all of a sudden they're not tracked and they can get away with something fishy, for lack of a better word.
41
Every time a ship does this, it's called going dark.
42
Everything that they do in that time is called dark activity.
43
So you'll hear a lot of these terms of like going dark, dark vessels, dark activity.
44
There's also this whole sector of like
45
if you are going through an area with really intense piracy You might want to turn it off
46
and you're doing it at that point like for your own safety Yeah, because like real-world pirates if you have an AIS receiver
47
It's almost like a treasure map of like where ships are
48
around you You can literally see like where the where the cargo ships around me in real time right now
49
So that's allowed to like flip the switch press the button turn it off
50
if you are are like fearing for your safety.
51
Yeah.
52
The caveat is that if they do that, they do have to put together a report after the fact.
53
And you have to put in your ship log book.
54
You have to kind of explain why it happened.
55
So like here, for example, this is a ship that turned its AIS transponder off right here.
56
Because it was warned about pirate activity close to Oman.
57
We only know this because of this big safety report that it wound up having to put together.
58
What's crazy is like because it's all public, we can see this happening.
59
Like they're doing this to be kind of under the cover of darkness, but if we just look at historical AIS records, we can see those disappearances happening.
60
December 2012, this is a Spanish fishing vessel that's approaching Western Africa.
61
Boom, it disappears.
62
July 2015, there's an Australian fishing ship doing the same thing around a marine reserve.
63
Disappears.
64
October 2014, there is this Panamanian fishing vessel that approaches the Galapagos and then boom, disappears.
65
And these are the people we're after.
66
Like this is what we want to understand is what do they do when they press that button and go dark?
67
Right.
68
The fact that you can see their last location and then where they pick up again is a context clue.
69
It's a clue for sure.
70
And there's so much data available.
71
Like this is what I want to start to go down the rabbit hole on is like aggregating all this data,
72
looking for the trends and trying to understand what we can learn about what happens when these ships go dark.
73
So we're talking a lot about shadowy activity happening in the dead of night.
74
Kind of has to do with the sponsor of today's video who addresses the shadowy reality of data brokers, the people who buy and sell your data, your information on an open market,
75
and is why you get so much spam in your life, like junk mail and random texts and robocalls and why your name can sometimes be searchable on people's search site,
76
it's gotten out of hand.
77
And even though we legally have the right to request that our names not be on this list, it's incredibly hard.
78
I literally tried for a video a few years ago and failed.
79
Then Incogni came out and that's the sponsor of today's video.
80
I've been using Incogni for a couple of years now.
81
They've supported our work and I'm really grateful
82
because what you do is you give Incogni permission to go out on your behalf
83
and to start making requests to these data broker lists, requests that they remove your name and your address
84
and your birth date and your browser history
85
and whatever they have on their profile that they want to monetize and then you just get to sit back and watch.
86
I like graphs and they give you a graph.
87
The graph of the total number of requests that they've sent out.
88
In my case, 1234.
89
1234. Wow, that's satisfying.
90
The ones that are in progress, 222.
91
Wow, these numbers are very satisfying.
92
And completed, this is the most satisfying number, 1012.
93
There was 1012 lists that had my name and information on it that no longer do thanks to Incognito.
94
And if you want to get really granular, you can go into like the detailed view and see all these sites that Incogni is monitoring.
95
I didn't even know it was on all this stuff.
96
You can even do these custom removals where if a site is spamming you, you can ask Incogni to go after them specifically.
97
So go to incogni.com slash johnnyharris and use my code johnnyharris with no spaces and you'll get 60% off their unlimited plan.
98
Again, that's incogni.com slash johnnyharris.
99
Use the code.
100
Thank you, Thank you Incogni for sponsoring today's video.
101
Let's get back to the ocean.
102
After looking through all this data, step one is to start filtering things down.
103
And I started to filter down by fishing, just fishing vessels.
104
Let's just start there.
105
That's a lot of vessels, but it's not every vessel that is being tracked.
106
In doing that, you can start to see, it's still a big thing, but you can start to see where these ships spend their time.
107
It's fishing vessels, probably where there's lots of fish.
108
And I'm also putting on this map EEZs, which is a reminder that every country has ocean borders in
109
which they are allowed to do economic things and no one else is allowed to.
110
When you look at all of this AIS data aggregated across the whole world, you start to see some bright spots.
111
Specifically here, this is one I started to focus on quite a bit.
112
It is this water off of the coast of Ecuador surrounding this archipelago called the Galapagos Islands,
113
like where Charles Darwin invented evolution.
114
Invented it.
115
Didn't exist before, but he figured it out for us.
116
He invented it.
117
Made it up right there.
118
Now this is within Ecuador's exclusive economic zone.
119
They have exclusive rights to this water.
120
And it is also a protected marine area, but it's also teeming with valuable seafood sharks,
121
jumbo flying Swiss, skipjack tuna.
122
This is protected area.
123
And so you can see that a lot of this fishing activity happens right outside of these EEZs in international water.
124
And remember, I'm trying to figure out what people do when they go dark, when they press this button, turn off their transponders, like what are they up to?
125
The next clue comes when you do this.
126
Flags.
127
So this is all Chinese flagged ships.
128
right outside of the EEZ of the Galapagos Island, which belongs to Ecuador.
129
And what we are looking at here is something monumental.
130
The biggest, most centralized, most powerful fishing effort in human history.
131
So, seeing this, I'm starting to get tired of just pure data and shading.
132
I wanted to see what does this look like in real life.
133
Yeah.
134
Whoa.
135
Yeah, it's kind of creepy, right?
136
So those are all ships that have their lights on.
137
Those are all ships.
138
In the middle of the night.
139
It's almost like a city skyline of like a futuristic water city.
140
It's crazy.
141
Like we are in the middle of the ocean.
142
Hey, before we continue, I just want to let you all know that we are very close to launching New Press, which is something I've been working on for like over a year and we're getting super close.
143
It's a place where we are doing a new kind of journalism, not just making stuff for all of you, but inviting you in to help us make it.
144
Our current media landscape is noisy and drowning in headlines without context.
145
This isn't working and we want to make something different.
146
New Press is here to be the next evolution in our journalism.
147
And for those who you join early, you'll actually get in on a reproduction of one of my favorite maps.
148
A little gift from me and the team.
149
If this is at all interesting to you, you can get on the waitlist at NewPress.com.
150
Now back to the story.
151
So here's some quick context.
152
By the 1980s, China had basically depleted the fish in the waters near its coast.
153
Huge population, rapid industrialization, they were eating a lot of fish and as they built up their economy, they just got aggressive.
154
The local fish stock started to disappear.
155
So the Chinese government stepped in.
156
They said, okay, let's build a bigger fleet, one that can go way beyond our waters.
157
And they did.
158
They subsidized the building of these massive ships capable of sailing deep into international waters, even halfway around the world.
159
And today that fleet is just enormous.
160
A recent analysis estimates that China has about 57,000 industrial fishing vessels
161
and that they account for roughly 44% of all fishing activity on Earth.
162
44%.
163
Dumbing number.
164
Isn't that insane?
165
That's half of all fishing is this fleet.
166
Right.
167
So they just put a ton of money towards like building boats
168
that are capable of going really far out at sea
169
and building this whole infrastructure to bring all that back to China to be processed.
170
But I'm imagining it is not all winds up in China.
171
It goes across the world.
172
Exactly, it's a part of a massive seafood industry.
173
But yeah, it is the Chinese government subsidizing these companies, helping them not just with subsidies but also with security.
174
Sometimes the Chinese government will send security, intelligence ships will go with them.
175
It is a part of the state effort to project power, and it also has resulted in the ability to fish aggressively
176
anywhere on Earth intelligent ships in the sense of like keeping the fishing vessels safe
177
or making sure they don't get in trouble when they push the rules?
178
Fill in the blanks with whatever you suspect.
179
We don't exactly know what they're up to but just know this is a geopolitical act.
180
I mean it feels like Belt and Road but like on the sea.
181
Yep, that's exactly it's a big economic push that results in a lot of fishing all around the world.
182
There's so many red dots that they have turned white.
183
Yes.
184
Yes.
185
Okay, so I mean, is this illegal, what they're doing?
186
To be sending these ships all the way across the world, right next to other countries, is any of that illegal?
187
No, actually not.
188
It's concerning because they are aggressively fishing, but per this AIS data, which shows that they don't cross the line,
189
they are not doing anything illegal from this view.
190
So the thing is, all of these are just AIS pings, which means this doesn't account for the fact that they can turn AIS off at any point in time.
191
Exactly.
192
So this is just the publicly tracked available data.
193
The fact that they can go dark is not pictured in this at all.
194
Absolutely.
195
This is not the full picture.
196
Like the AIS data is really helpful for me to see Chinese phishing efforts around the world
197
and to focus in on a hotspot where they're clearly doing a lot.
198
But I now want to see what's happening actually on the ground here.
199
And for that, I need someone who's actually been out here.
200
My name is Ian Urbina.
201
I'm a journalist.
202
I spent 17 years at the New York Times and then created the Allocean Project.
203
Every year, you know, two to three hundred squid vessels traverse the globe and sort of hover in very specific squid fisheries.
204
So the goal was to get out into that patch, into that fishery.
205
And if possible, get on board the Chinese vessels, where they are, who they use as workers, how long they're staying at sea, what sort of crimes are they involved in, what are the conditions on the boats.
206
So, I think I have an understanding as to why it's so hard to regulate the deep sea, like way out in the high waters.
207
It's so far away from everything.
208
To get out onto the high seas, you typically have to be in a pretty large vessel because the waters are pretty rough.
209
These are long trips.
210
Like getting out there, enforcing anything is just logistically difficult.
211
And part of it is like it's logistically difficult for like fishing vessels to get out there, for anyone to be out there for a long time.
212
Like this hasn't been a huge problem because no one's been able to actually be out there in a huge way.
213
But that's changing.
214
As fishing companies get more sophisticated, get more money, get more consolidated,
215
they can afford to send out like big operations that can be out there for a really long time.
216
And the leader of all of this is China.
217
The scope and scale of Chinese fishing is unbelievable.
218
It's not just the number of vessels, it's the way that they do it.
219
They bring out all of these vessels and then they have these motherships, the huge reefers that are big refrigerated vessels.
220
And the way that it works is that the smaller fishing boats are able to go out, fish, and come back to the mothership, drop off all their stuff,
221
get refueled, get resupplied, and then just go out.
222
So they don't have to dock at any point, they don't have to go back to shore?
223
They never have to go back to China.
224
Yeah.
225
They can be out there kind of indefinitely because that reefer eventually will fish, fish, fish, and then it will go back to China
226
while the fishing vessels will stay out there and then a new mothership will arrive.
227
Before we look into satellite stuff, I'm curious what you've been finding, but The first thing you see is how invisible it is.
228
And the only reason why we know the scale and scope of this is because they do have their transponders on, like most of them do.
229
And you can see just from the publicly available data,
230
just these fleets of fishermen nonstop working in these clusters.
231
And they're often clusters that are hugging right up against the economic waters of other countries.
232
Ecuador, a lot of places in South America, Argentina, you'll see these clusters of fishing vessels.
233
Most of those are Chinese.
234
That's about it.
235
That's all you can see.
236
And from that perspective, it's like pretty legal.
237
They're just sort of sitting there.
238
Yes, they're fishing.
239
Yes, it's kind of crazy.
240
Yes, we need new regulation to determine if this is okay.
241
But on paper, it actually looks pretty fine.
242
But it's like why else would you go right up to the border of something
243
if it's not to like occasionally pass over?
244
Exactly.
245
There's no reason to be clustered like that.
246
Right there.
247
Right on the border.
248
Fishing is the world's most dangerous profession in terms of fatalities globally.
249
Ian Urbina has spent years investigating what actually happens out here on these ships.
250
And what he's found is pretty bleak.
251
The guys said we're being held against our will.
252
They took our passports desperately want to come home.
253
You know, there's violence on board.
254
I've seen and interviewed workers who are on two-year contracts and they never come to shore.
255
He's documented crewmen who have been at sea for years, literally years, against their will sometimes.
256
Cut off from their families, trapped by debt and fake job promises, their passports taken away from them, stuck indefinitely.
257
Because now that these boats can drop off their fish and get fuel and supplies from these motherships, they never have to go back to port.
258
We are not going to go.
259
He is not going to be able to get us.
260
Even if we are in a hospital, we are not going to be a crime.
261
Then I said, I don't want one minute.
262
He is not going to be able to get us.
263
It's not just falling overboard from exhaustion or getting hit by a heavy piece of equipment.
264
It's also just infection.
265
It's suicide.
266
It's lots of other forms of slow motion threat to a brutal, brutal type of work.
267
The mental health kind of burden of being in solitary confinement, essentially for two years of this sort, you can see in these guys.
268
These men develop horrible illnesses.
269
They get injured, they're malnourished, they're abused, and all of it, the sickness, the exhaustion, the despair, happens in total isolation, way out here,
270
far from anyone who might see it.
271
Squid vessels in particular are also just gruesome because squid inks
272
when it panics and they're bringing thousands per hour on board and they ink everywhere.
273
So it's like climbing, sorry to gross you out, but into someone's nose.
274
There's just mucus, layers, years of layers of mucus on every imaginable surface.
275
The railings, the floor, you can't get that stuff off, so it's insanely slippery, there's vermin everywhere, it smells, it's very ammonia smell,
276
because squid use ammonia for buoyancy, so it smells like piss.
277
That's the kind of thing that you can't see.
278
It's very well hidden.
279
And again, on paper, when I look at these maps of their transponders, they are behaving per what we can see on the satellite.
280
And that's what I'm curious about is like when they turn off
281
that transponder and they can't be pinged and they can't really be seen, what happens?
282
We track some of this data and you see these boats that go right up to the EEZ.
283
They disappear for 72 hours or seven days
284
and then they pop back up in safe zone and then they disappear and then they pop back on.
285
What is going on there
286
and how can we know what is happening during those dark hours and days when the transponder is turned off?
287
Because that's the crucial time.
288
They're so far away, no one's going to see them.
289
So anything they do during that time is completely unseen.
290
How's it going, Kim?
291
How are you?
292
I talked to a couple people at Global Fishing Watch and they helped them kind of understand
293
how we are able to have eyes on what is happening even when AIS goes dark.
294
It turns out AIS is not our only source.
295
There is another way.
296
Based on AIS there you'll see a lot of fishing activity along the northern coast of Mediterranean
297
and in the Strait of Sicily, also in the Adriatic.
298
You'll see almost no fishing activity along the coast of North Africa.
299
That doesn't mean that there is no fishing happening along the coast of North Africa, it's just that we can't see it based on AIS.
300
That's because a lot of these fleets are comprised of small vessels that don't have access to AIS devices.
301
So relying on just one data stream tells us only part of the picture in this case.
302
This is where we start to use these other data streams.
303
Night light detections which are based on vessels using bright lights at night.
304
Radar detections which detect large metal objects.
305
Optical imagery which is basically high resolution photos of vessels at sea.
306
This allows them to detect objects that aren't being detected on AIS.
307
You'll suddenly see that then all of this area that had previously been completely dark, but now with radar imagery,
308
we can now kind of fill in those gaps and we can see a lot of vessel activity along North Africa.
309
Using these satellite detections, we can detect where these vessels are, even if they disable their AIS devices.
310
Can we go to Galapagos and see the nightlight?
311
Because that's a huge one.
312
Yeah.
313
There we go.
314
Yeah, right there.
315
But so, we can look at something like this and see all of a sudden, okay, here's AIS unmatched optical detections.
316
The Galapagos goes from being completely clean inside the edges to all of a sudden, dots all over the place.
317
Wow.
318
Dude, they go dark, but here they are.
319
And it's also interesting because each of these different kinds of satellite imagery overlays is limited in its own way.
320
Every layer, every data stream has its limitations.
321
Optical imagery is exciting for us, but it is typically limited to taking images once or twice a day.
322
So it really only gives us snapshots of activity and doesn't allow us to recreate what these vessels are doing.
323
And as you can see by these footprints, it doesn't scan the entire ocean, but usually looks at areas close to shore.
324
Same is true for radar imagery that looks at areas close to shore.
325
It doesn't tell us much about what's happening on the high seas.
326
And then nightlight detection is particularly useful for vessels like squid jiggers, which fish using very bright lights at night.
327
None of these datasets by themselves can really paint a full picture.
328
They will all be missing part of the activity.
329
But it's something, right?
330
It's eyes where we previously had no eyes before.
331
Okay, so we have all these other views that aren't just reliant on AIS and Ian and his team's cameras.
332
Can we actually see what is happening during dark activity?
333
Like, what do we learn about the Galapagos and what these ships might be doing when they turn off their transponders?
334
Right, so in a situation like in the Galapagos where you have, you know, ships on AIS going dark right around the edges, overlaying something like radio frequency,
335
all of a sudden you can see pings of places where those ships might be.
336
So all of a sudden you go from just knowing that a ship is disappearing and maybe doing something or not, but having no hard evidence, by overlaying these different kinds of satellite imagery,
337
all of a sudden you have evidence that they were somewhere else.
338
We have all these ships that are going dark right on the edge of the Galapagos EEZ, but we don't necessarily know that they're going inside.
339
And when we look at radio frequency signals, we can see that they are going inside.
340
And then because there are multiple different kinds of imagery sources, we can overlay SAR data and have even more detail.
341
We can see ships inside.
342
So this is using that radar ping that just looks for something dense or shiny.
343
And you can now see that where on my map it looks clean and legal.
344
This shows that there's actually activity happening inside the EEZ.
345
Right.
346
It's obviously not an end-all be-all.
347
I feel like you might see this map
348
and think by being able to see past the AIS dark activity zones
349
that all of a sudden we have like perfect eyes on what's happening.
350
But we don't really.
351
All of these are kind of individual snapshots.
352
They're just a moment in time, but they do give us a way of, you know, when something looks suspicious to be able to have like a higher level of detail as to what's going on.
353
Yeah.
354
It's basically a way of catching ships in the act
355
when they think that they're getting away with something by turning off one kind of tracker.
356
Either they leave another kind of tracker on
357
or they wind up being visible by another kind of satellite imagery that's passing overhead.
358
But it still seems like piecing together the puzzle with this kind of data versus that kind of data, like it seems quite manual.
359
It's very manual labor, the kind of thing that is only kind of helpful at a very large scale.
360
So I mean this used to only be helpful kind of one example at a time.
361
This was like not something that really gave us broad insights, but that's changing fast with the people that I talked to.
362
I mean it's so much data and it is so many images and it's a constant process of cross-checking those things.
363
It's more than any human can do.
364
but we are obviously moving into an era where machines can do that.
365
Rather than labeling all these data manually, by hand, by visually inspecting these tracks, that's where we use machine learning to do this at a global near real-time scale.
366
I guess my question now is like, what do we know now about what's happening at sea that we didn't know before?
367
I mean, what this leaves us with is a much better picture of just how widespread
368
dark activity is of just how many ships are going untracked.
369
Before this we had no sense of exactly how many ships we knew was happening.
370
We didn't know exactly like what they were doing
371
when they went dark but we didn't know how globally widespread the problem is and now we do.
372
When we put all of these data sources together Global Fishing Watch found
373
that between 72 and 76 percent of all fishing activity around the world is untracked.
374
And potentially illegally, meaning in places that are supposed to be protected.
375
I mean, the crazy part about that is you kind of start off thinking
376
that this is maybe some small problematic minority that is committing crimes, but the fact that it's 75%,
377
that it is the great majority of all fishing, means that going dark is the norm.
378
It is a practice that many, many ships are doing.
379
Maybe it is to commit crimes or to get away with things unseen, But maybe it's just for a bit of a competitive advantage
380
to be fishing somewhere where they know they have the best access to fish.
381
And maybe it's just out of non-compliance, unawareness about the laws.
382
There's a whole bunch of reasons that ships could be going dark or not turning on their AIS.
383
But they all kind of enable the worst of this problems.
384
They set the stage for the worst offenses to be committed.
385
Going into China's fleet, which is just one of many countries that have this problem, but it's the biggest and the most aggressive,
386
I think following the rest of that story of where that seafood goes, it's important to sort of like get our head around why this is a problem.
387
Because what I learned from my reporting is that after it is in the Galapagos and it goes into the mothership, it kind of gets washed,
388
meaning it gets blended with product and squid from a bunch of different other sources that did have their tracker on, and then it's invisible story is completely washed.
389
The mothership goes back to China.
390
It delivers the squid to a buyer who then mixes it with even more squid from other sources.
391
It gets processed sometimes from even more forced labor from either Uighur Muslims
392
that are re-educated and forced to work in the seafood plants
393
or North Koreans who are in China working for the North Korean state.
394
And then it's shipped out to the world.
395
70% of China's seafood is actually shipped out and it's a huge industry for them and it comes to all of us.
396
So we're eating it.
397
Yeah, absolutely.
398
I didn't really know that.
399
It can go somewhere else in Asia, maybe it's turned into sushi in Japan or it goes to Europe where it is cooked into a risotto or canned.
400
But a lot of it ends up in the United States.
401
Calamari.
402
Calamari, cheap calamari.
403
It's like in every restaurant you can get calamari.
404
And now I kind of understand where that comes from.
405
Like this isn't a black market.
406
This isn't a renegade thing happening in some organized crime ring.
407
This is the norm on the high seas and it is something we all participate in.
408
And being in the maps, but especially being in the footage and the interviews, you realize how in that product is hidden the true cost,
409
which is environmental degradation, human suffering, depletion of our fish stocks and theft from national resources.
410
It makes me appreciate the people working on this.
411
It makes me grateful for the technology
412
that enables better views of these hidden spaces
413
and it puts urgency on how important this issue is because if we can solve it, if we can get eyes on the ocean in a new way,
414
it can have a huge impact on all of these domains.
415
There is a really weird disparity between seeing the activity mapped out here where it looks very busy,
416
but then you think about what it must actually look like in real life.
417
The empty, empty oceans.
418
It's such a vast quantity of space.
419
Even in the places where it looks so condensed, so busy, it must still be just impossible to police any of that.
420
It's incredibly logistically complicated and dangerous to be on the high seas.
421
I started this story feeling like AIS was this like amazing tool for safety
422
and surveillance at sea
423
And now I see just how easy it is to press one little button
424
and to disappear
425
and do whatever you want I'm feeling like this is a really hard problem to tackle
426
because of the nature of being on the high sea
427
And it's not gonna be through humans going out to catch the bad guys
428
that we solve this I'm convinced of that now.
429
Right.
430
Like if we're gonna actually See this and stop this it's gonna have to be something else I'm sorry.

Gölgeleme Tekniği Nedir?
Gölgeleme, başlangıçta profesyonel tercüman eğitimi için geliştirilen ve çok dilli Dr. Alexander Arguelles tarafından popüler hale getirilen, bilim destekli bir dil öğrenme tekniğidir. Yöntem basit ama güçlüdür: ana dili İngilizce olan bir sesi dinler ve hemen yüksek sesle tekrar edersiniz — konuşmacıyı 1-2 saniye gecikmeyle takip eden bir gölge gibi. Pasif dinleme veya dilbilgisi alıştırmalarının aksine, gölgeleme beyninizi ve ağız kaslarınızı gerçek konuşma kalıplarını eşzamanlı olarak işlemeye ve yeniden üretmeye zorlar. Araştırmalar, telaffuz doğruluğu, tonlama, ritim, bağlı konuşma, dinleme anlama ve konuşma akıcılığını önemli ölçüde geliştirdiğini göstermektedir — bu da onu IELTS Konuşma hazırlığı ve gerçek dünya İngilizce iletişimi için en etkili yöntemlerden biri yapar.
