Today I will teach you an important rule for learning English. In fact, this is the number one secret English schools don't want you to know. **English Can Be Simple and Easy One day, Angelina, a student from Paraguay, came to my class. She could not speak English. In her country, she studied many years-- mostly grammar. Many years of classes. Many years of textbooks. But she could not speak. The first day in my class, she was shy. She came with a textbook, -- ready to study grammar. I surprised her-- because I never used the textbook. I never used the textbook, and I never taught grammar. I never used the textbook, and I never taught grammar. Instead, I told her a story. I told the story many times. As I told the story, I asked many questions. She answered them. She was confused,... Why was this crazy teacher telling stories and asking so many questions!? Then I asked HER to tell the story-- she was shocked and amazed-- she could do it! After only two weeks in my class, her friends were amazed. They asked her, "How are you improving so quickly?" **Why Grammar Study Is Bad In school, teachers told you to study grammar. They told you that grammar was the key to learning English. They were totally wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. In fact, studying grammar is the worst thing to do. Grammar study will destroy your English speaking. Why? Because grammar study makes you think too much. You don't want to think about speaking English, you want to speak quickly-- without thinking. There is a lot of research about this topic-- and it all agrees- grammar study is terrible. Grammar study destroys your ability to think in English. You will never speak English easily if you continue to study grammar. 2 Effortless English TRAN KHA TU Tips for English Learning **RULE 2: Don't Study Grammar Angelina quickly improved speaking-- when she stopped studying grammar. This is your second rule. Stop studying grammar. Stop studying grammar. Right now. Stop. Put away your grammar books and textbooks. You don't need them. With Effortless English, you learn English without grammar study. Your speaking improves quickly. You succeed.

And once you feel Great speaking English, you will be Excited to improve more and more! DAY 3 This is it. This is the number one rule you must follow. It is simple and easy. Yet, most schools ignore it. Think about your first English class. In most schools, the teacher does not speak much English. They mostly speak your language. In Chinese schools, for example, the teachers speak mostly Chinese! They explain English grammar-- using Chinese. They answer questions-- using Chinese. They translate English words—into Chinese. And what do they mostly teach? Grammar. Students learn English grammar by listening to teachers speak Chinese. Do you see the problem? The result-- Chinese students cannot think in English, cannot speak English, and cannot understand native English speakers. Their speaking is usually slow and painful. This method is crazy-- it is guaranteed to fail. The schools, not the students, are failing. The same is true in most countries. Its even true of English schools in the U.S., UK, and Canada. **Humber to Learns The Most Important Rule Humberto is from Venezuela. He moved to Canada a few years ago. He studied English in Venezuela for many years-- mostly grammar. He thought his English was good. But when he came to Canada he was surprised and shocked—he couldn't understand anyone! Humberto was very upset. He joined an English school in Canada. He went to school everyday. What did they teach him? More grammar! After 12 months of school, Humberto was angry and frustrated. The school cost over $10,000 for one year-- but he still could not speak English. He didn't know what to do. He quit the school. He joined an internet system that knew the 7 rules to speaking English easily. He listened to the lessons every day. Six months later, Humberto could speak English easily. Now he feels powerful and relaxed when he speaks English. **RULE 3: The Most Important Rule - Listen First What is the rule that Humberto found with the Club? Simple. The rule is listening. Listening, listening, listening. You must listen to UNDERSTANDABLE English. You must listen to English EVERYDAY. It’s simple. That is the key to your English success. Stop studying grammar. Start listening everyday. Listen everyday-- and your speaking will improve quickly. Listen everyday-- and you will feel relaxed and powerful.

She couldn't USE the grammar in a real conversation. She could explain the past tense, but when speaking, she would say "Yesterday I GO to school". Miyuki was confused.

Then, she listened to the exact SAME story-- but this time it started with "10 years ago...." She learned to "feel" the past tense by listening to this story. Next, I gave her the exact same story.

He went to an English school, but his English did not improve. Finally, he decided to study at home, using deep learning. He studied just one conversation-- for 6 months. That's right, he listened to the same conversation (on MP3) for 6 months! He didn't just listen. He also paused after every sentence and copied the speakers' pronunciation. Every day he tried to improve his pronunciation. Everyday, he listened carefully.

You speak easily to native speakers. You a understood by native speakers. Fluency Hi. I hope you are doing well and are enjoying English. Today I want to discuss the number one goal for every learner. Number 1 is Fluency. What is fluency? Fluency is the ability to speak (and understand) English quickly and easily... WITHOUT translation. Fluency means you can talk easily with native speakers-- they easily understand you, and you easily understand them. In fact, you speak and understand instantly. Fluency is your goal. **There Is Only One Way To Get Fluency The research is clear-- there is only ONE way to get fluency. You must have a lot of understandable repetitive listening. That is the ONLY way. Both of those words are important-- Understandable and Repetitive. If you don't understand, you learn nothing. You will not improve. That's why listening to English TV does not help you. You don't understand most of it. The fastest way to learn is to listen to things you understand 100%. **Understanding is Only Half The Formula 8 Effortless English Tips for English Learning TRAN KHA TU Understanding is not enough. You must also have a lot of repetition. If you hear a new word only once, you will soon forget it. You must hear new words and new grammar many many times before you will understand them instantly. In the beginning, you will probably translate a lot. Later, you will understand, but very slowly. That's why you must listen to the Mini-Stories, the Vocab Lessons, The Point-of-View Stories, and the Audio articles many times. You should listen to every lesson at least 30 times. In fact, I recommend 50-100 times. When you do this, you understand faster and faster. After 6-8 months, your speaking is faster and better too. It happens automatically. think. You don't need to try. That's fluency. You don't need to To be fluent, go to Effortless English now: http://www.EffortlessEnglishClub.com **Fluency First I recommend fluency first. Spend 80% of your study time listening, and 20% of your time reading. Listen first-- until you can understand native speakers instantly without translation. After you have fluency, you will focus more on reading and less on listening. You won't need lessons for that-- just a lot of interesting and easy English novels. But to get fluency, you need help.
