Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, I’m AJ Hoge, one of the teachers of Learn Real English And welcome to our video course Now, let’s get started with Rule # or Secret # And Rule # is to always learn English phrases, and to never, never study just individual words So in this course we’re going to teach you a totally new way to learn English, a totally new way to study English, so that you can speak English quickly, easily, automatically, powerfully, confidently So what’s the old way of learning English? You know it because you learned it in school You’ve been using it for years and years and years You sit in a classroom You’ve got a textbook You memorize lists of vocabulary words You study lots and lots and lots of grammar rules You lots of reading and little fake conversation drills and activities And this is the traditional old way of learning English but we have a totally new and different way of learning it And we’re going to teach you each part of that, one part every day for a full seven days So let’s start with Part 1, Secret 1, Rule # 1…learn phrases, not individual words Now, of course, a phrase is a group of words It’s a group of words that naturally go together This is very important You see, when you only study individual words, you are doing a number of things that make learning difficult Number one, when you study just an individual word like a vocabulary, something in a vocabulary list, or even in your notebook you write one single word and then you write the meaning or the translation, here’s the problem That word has no connections to anything else Therefore, it’s difficult for your brain to remember it That’s why you have to keep repeating again and again You look at that list and you try to memorize it And then the next day you forget and then you go back and you try to memorize it again and again and again and again and again And maybe after a very long time you might remember it But most likely you’re going to forget it, especially long-term And yet that’s the way most students are learning English and studying vocabulary Here’s another problem with just learning single words When you study just single words, you’re not learning any grammar But when you study phrases, you are actually learning grammar It’s kind of an effortless, easy way to learn grammar You don’t need to think about rules You don’t need to think about anything And yet, you will be learning correct grammar when you study groups of words instead of phrases Let me give you an example of this Let’s just, y’know, take any phrase…like, um, a simple, simple sentence He was a bad dog He was a bad dog Now, let’s imagine that you’re a new English student and the word bad is new for you Of course, I know you know it, but let’s just imagine you go way back to the very beginning and your first year of learning English and bad is a new word Now the normal way of studying that, you would write it down, bad, it would be in a little, y’know, a list And then you would study www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking bad means not good, bad means not good You’d probably translate it to your own language And then after lots and lots and lots of time, maybe you would remember it Well using our system, you something very different You would write down that whole phrase He was a bad dog That’s actually a full sentence Or you could just write down was a bad dog or he was a bad dog, whatever And then every single time you study or review, you would always, always, always study the full complete phrase You would never just study that word, bad You would study the whole thing Now by doing that you’re getting free grammar How you know? Well, because first of all you’re getting that verb, was, right? Was, and that’s just going to stick in your brain, he was, he was, he was You’re also learning articles You don’t need to remember what that means You don’t have to even worry about it And yet you know that it’s correct to say, in this situation, a bad dog He was a bad dog Some people say a, he was a bad dog Both pronunciations are correct So he was a bad dog He was a bad dog A lot of students have problems When I use a, or a? When I not? When I use the? And you’re trying to memorize all these super complicated rules and situations for it Forget that It’s too complicated You’ll never remember it Just study phrases and you’ll start to feel when to use it, when it’s correct, when it sounds correct and when it sounds strange, when it’s not correct to use those things And, of course, this is true for all grammar; all phrases; all vocabulary By studying a full phrase or even a full sentence, always, always, always, you’re going to get lots of grammar You’re going to learn which vocabulary words go together naturally And you’re going to know when to use them in which situations Because sometimes, for example, there might be a situation where there are many words that mean the same thing And yet we typically use one of them Like, we might say he was a bad dog That’s a common phrase, a bad dog, bad dog We use that word bad to describe a dog who’s naughty, who’s not good But we don’t usually say horrendous Now horrendous means super super bad, really terrible And yet we don’t usually say he was a horrendous dog It sounds strange, even though the meaning is basically correct Yet, in normal real English, not textbooks, but real English, we just don’t use that word to describe dogs, not usually I don’t know why There’s no real rule about it It’s just that’s what we usually And every language has these kind of word combinations that are more common, and other word combinations which just aren’t used typically How you learn that? Well you can’t learn it from any rules because there are no rules about that You have to learn it by studying phrases always Always, always, always study phrases Review phrases Whenever you learn a new word don’t just write down that individual word Write down the full phrase, or even better, the full sentence that it’s in Always include the words that are around it This is going to help you improve your English speaking ability much, much, much faster www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Even better, when you write down the phrase, also write down where the phrase came from to remind yourself of the whole situation So you might, let’s say you find a new word in a newspaper article Well first of all, let’s say the word horrendous You’re reading a newspaper article or you’re listening to the radio and you hear that word horrendous Hm, that’s new, what is that? And you write it down But you’re not going to write down just that single word You’re going to write down the whole phrase that it was in And then you’re also going to make a note, you’re going to put down, y’know, this came from a newspaper article about the economy And this is going to trigger you, it’s going to remind you, give you a memory cue, a memory reminder, of the full situation So now you’re not only getting just this single word You’re getting the full phrase or sentence that it’s in and you’re also reminding yourself where that sentence came from What was the general topic, what was the general situation And in this way you’re getting a lot of extra grammar which you’re learning unconsciously, easily You don’t have to think about it but you’re learning it anyway Your brain is learning it, even though you might not know that And you’re also learning when certain phrases and certain words are used and when they’re not used You’re learning which situations it’s used, or they are used in And you’ll, of course, know that in other situations you don’t use Because as you learn more and more and more phrases, you begin to get this feeling of correctness And you begin to know when to use certain words, how to use them, and you’re also, how to use the grammar correctly as well This is so important It’s such a simple, simple little secret, a simple little trick, a simple little rule And yet it can totally change the way you speak English and learn English It’s very, very important So never, never, never study just an individual word, one word, always study the phrase or the sentence And always, always, always make a note where it came from And you want those phrases and sentences to come from real English, which we’ll talk about more later, not from textbooks Here’s another advantage of studying phrases and full sentences and always knowing the situation that they came from Phrasal verbs, you guys know about them You know all about phrasal verbs that are a frustration for so many students, right? Y’know, to be knocked out or knocked up, have totally different meaning, right? Knocked out is a phrasal verb, it’s a two-word verb, it’s a verb phrase And to be knocked out means to like, it’s like in boxing or sports, you get hit and ugh, it’s like you’re asleep, right? Boom, knocked out on the floor To be knocked up means to become pregnant We use that for women Now there’s no way if you just look at the individual words to know the meaning, right, knocked out, knocked up It’s not logical You just have to learn each one individually www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking But if you just try to study lists and lists and lists of phrasal verbs, you’re going to become very confused You’ll start confusing one with the other You’re going to forget and it’s horrible and you don’t want to that It’s not effective It doesn’t work But if you learn those phrasal verbs from real situations, real sentences, real articles, real audios, real speech, and then you always study them in the whole sentence So then you know the situation, right? If you, if you get the whole sentence, the fighter knocked out the other fighter And you’re always studying that full phrase or sentence, the fighter knocked out the other fighter You’re going to just naturally know Y’know, you’ve got that word fighter in there, helps you to remember the situation And it helps you to remember the meaning of that phrase, knocked out Or you could say the woman got knocked up by her boyfriend, right? So now you’re like, ah yeah, boyfriend, it gives you…it gives you a clue It gives you an idea of the meaning of that phrase And you’ll know that you always use that phrase in situations that describe pregnancy This is much better than studying lists and lists and lists of phrasal verbs So what’s our first rule, what’s our first secret? Always, always, always study phrases, groups of words Always write down a note about where the phrase came from to remind you of the situation And no more, never again, study just individual words And that’s all That is powerful Secret # 1, Rule # for learning to speak fantastic amazing English Start using this rule immediately today, okay? We’ll see you tomorrow for Rule Bye-bye www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, I’m Joe Weiss, and I’m one of the directors of Learn Real English And today I’m going to be teaching you Rule Number for Excellent English Speaking Okay, so what is Rule Number 2? Well Rule Number is quite simple Rule Number is not study grammar rules Do not study grammar rules Now, I know this may be a surprise to you because your English teachers have always told you that you must study grammar rules In high schools or secondary schools, in universities, in language schools, the English teachers teach grammar, and then they teach more grammar, and then they teach even more grammar And that is the method you have used to study English So now I have a question for you Have you been successful using that method? If you’re watching this video then you’ve studied English before That means you have probably studied a lot of grammar rules So you need to ask yourself this question Can you speak English quickly, easily and automatically? If the answer is no, then you need to ask why not Why not? Because you have been studying English for many years Why can’t you speak English quickly, easily and automatically? Well the answer for most people is because they studied too much grammar But you are not to blame for this, no Your English teachers are to blame for this Because your English teachers made you study grammar I bet you hated studying grammar rules But you did it because your English teachers made you study them Okay, so why is it bad to study grammar rules? Well, when you study grammar rules then you think about these grammar rules You think about the past perfect tense, the present perfect tense, the future perfect tense, prepositions You think about all these grammar rules before you speak And when you speak, you not have a lot of time When you’re writing, you have a lot more time You can write slowly You can correct your mistakes You can even look in a book if you need help When you’re writing, you have a lot of time But when you’re speaking, you not have a lot of time When you are speaking, there is no time to think about verb tenses and verb conjugations and definite articles, indefinite articles, adverbs There is no time to think about those grammar rules when you are speaking When someone asks you a question, they want you to answer that question immediately They don’t want to wait one minute while you’re thinking about grammar rules No, no, no So that is why it is important that you not study grammar rules When you study grammar rules, then you think about those grammar rules before you speak And that means that you hesitate before you speak, and you speak much slower and you understand much slower Okay, so how native speakers learn grammar then? Well, I am an English native speaker and I can tell you that I never studied grammar rules when I was a young boy and I was learning how to speak www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking English When I was years old and I was learning how to speak English, my mother and father never made me study grammar rules They didn’t it So I still speak English very well and I use correct grammar And I never studied grammar rules Well, when I was 12 years old, I studied grammar rules in school, but that was for writing It was only for writing, it was not for speaking You not want to study grammar rules for speaking For writing, it’s different Okay, so how native speakers learn grammar then? Well, they learn grammar through listening, listening to correct grammar, again and again and again and again And when you listen to this grammar over and over again, it gets stored deeply in your brain Then, when it is time for you to speak, you will be able to use this grammar because you will know what correct English grammar sounds like Okay, so the best way to learn grammar is through input So listening is one form of input, listening to correct grammar over and over again Now reading is another form of input And you can use reading also to learn grammar, but you won’t use it as much as listening Most of the time you will have listening as your main form of input But if you read, please not read textbooks You should read easy English novels, maybe novels that a young child would read But most of your input will come from listening You will listen to correct grammar over and over again And this is how you will learn grammar This is how a child or a native speaker learns grammar And you it quickly, easily and automatically without memorizing any grammar rules Okay, so today we’re speaking about Rule Number So tomorrow we will be sending you Rule Number But in Rule Number 5, I am going to tell you a powerful way for you to learn grammar Be it English grammar or the grammar for any other language And this is a very simple, powerful way to learn grammar And I promise you, it will not involve memorizing any grammar rules So I’m sure you’re happy about that But the rule today is Rule Number And Rule Number is don’t study grammar rules Do not study grammar rules When you study grammar rules, you think about the grammar before you speak and then you hesitate before you speak You speak much slower and you understand much slower So if you have any grammar books, throw them away Bury them in your backyard You can even burn them But if you burn them, please be safe, okay? Okay, so this is the end of Rule Number I hope that you’re enjoying the Rules to Excellent English Speaking course We are really happy to have you with us And have a great day and I’ll see you next time Bye-bye www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, this is Kristin Dodds Welcome to Rule # Rule # is very simple It’s very easy and it’s very powerful In fact, it’s the most important rule What is this rule? Well, Rule # is the listen first rule What I mean by listen first? I mean learn with your ears and not with your eyes So learn with your ears, not with your eyes Listen, listen, listen Ideally, you want to listen for six months or longer if possible before speaking Listening is the key to fluency Now why focus on listening first? Why learn with your ears and not with your eyes? With listening you will learn grammar You will learn vocabulary You will understand better and you will get faster There is a lot of research about listening first Listening is the most important thing you can If you learned English the way that I learned French, in middle school, high school and college, or university, then you probably have problems speaking English, because in school you learned with your eyes For example, there was a focus on textbooks, on learning from textbooks You learned how to read English You learned how to write English You learned how to think about English So that you probably know a lot of grammar rules You probably know more grammar rules than a native English speaker That’s because native English speakers don’t learn with their eyes They learn with their ears A baby doesn’t pick up a textbook and start studying grammar rules A baby does not learn with their eyes A baby learns with the ears by listening A baby learns by listening to the parents make sounds and speak to them A baby just listens and listens and listens, for a year, a year and a half to two years, before they start speaking So how must you learn English? You must learn English by listening first You must listen first if you want to speak English automatically, easily, quickly and correctly Now, there are two important things to remember with Rule # The first thing is what you listen to You want to make sure that you are listening to easy English So what I mean by easy English? I mean that you want to be able to understand 95% or more of the English you’re listening to without stopping or without using a dictionary So, for example, you might listen to a children’s program Or you might listen to a children’s audio book Another book would be a children’s movie If these are too easy, then increase the level a little bit You could listen to a teenager’s program Now by teenager, I mean, in American years, teenager would 13, 14, 15, up to 19 years old So if a children’s program or audio book is too easy, try listening to a teenager program or audio book, teenager movie These are all examples of things that you can listen to for easy English It is okay to listen to something that’s a little bit difficult if you have the text For example, if you’re listening to an English lesson, as long as you have the text, that’s okay As long as you can read along, www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking that’s okay Another example would be an audio article Or a speech, as long as you have the text these things would be okay Second, the second important thing I want you to remember is when you listen You want to listen all the time So get an mp3 player or get an iPod and listen, listen, listen Listen all the time Listen on your way to work Listen on your lunch break Listen when you’re exercising Listen on your way home from work Listen in the evenings or before you go to bed Listen as much as you can Now Rule # 3, listen first, it’s super easy and super powerful Focus on learning with your ears and not with your eyes Remember, it’s the most powerful rule Okay, that’s all for Rule # Tomorrow you’ll receive Rule # so see you later See you next time Bye www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, I’m AJ Hoge, one of the teachers of Learn Real English Welcome to day of our video course Secret # 4, Rule # is this: learn deeply Learn deeply So what does that mean? Well, of course, deep, if you think of water, like the ocean, deep means something goes down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, down, very, very far The opposite of deep is shallow, meaning does not go down far, it’s just a short little bit So what does that mean when we’re talking about learning? Well, you need to think about like your mind, your brain So if you learn something deeply, the idea is that it goes deep, deep, deep It goes into your brain very far, meaning that it’s part of you You’ll never, never, never forget it You totally master it It becomes simple and easy and automatic That’s the idea of learn deeply See, you need to think about speaking English like a sport You see, English learning, it’s not like math or science It’s not just something that you memorize It’s actually a skill that you need to use, right? You need to perform It doesn’t matter how much you remember What matters is can you it when you’re talking in a real conversation Can you understand instantly and quickly what the other person is saying? When they ask you questions, can you understand the question instantly and respond, answer immediately? When you speak, can you speak easily and automatically without stopping, without thinking, without worrying about grammar rules, without all of those problems, without feeling nervous, right? It doesn’t matter what you remember for a test What matters, what’s important is what you can actually in a real situation If you’re having a job interview in English, can you it? Can you actually it? It doesn’t matter what happens on the test What matters is when you’re facing that other person, how well you understand? How well you speak? How relaxed you feel? How confident are you? Right? That’s what you want You want to actually be able to it And that’s more like a sport And so you need to start learning English like you’re training, like you’re preparing for a sport And that’s why learning deeply is so important Let’s imagine this Let’s imagine, let’s say a basketball player Now basketball players, they have to be very, very good at the basics, the most important parts of playing basketball That is the most important thing If you ever watch interviews with the really great basketball players, the top ones, they will always say that the basic skills are the most important Now these guys can very advanced, amazing things But if you listen to these interviews, they always say that mostly what they practice are the basic skills, the basic skill of shooting They will practice that basic skill of shooting, shooting and shooting, thousands and thousands and thousands of times Even though they are already one of the best in the www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking world, still every day they practice that basic skill again and again Or dribbling, which is bouncing the ball, right? And passing it, those super basic skills they continue practicing them forever They practice those skills thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of times So that they never have to think about them, so during a game they just shoot They don’t think about their arm and what they with their legs, no It’s so automatic They’ve practiced it so many times It’s so deep in their brain that they just it It’s totally without effort, super easy, same with passing, same with bouncing and dribbling Well that’s what you need to with English You need to have that same feeling that when you speak, there’s no effort, there’s no thinking It just comes out easily and automatically And the only way you that is by focusing on deep learning It means you totally master something See, this is the problem in school In school, teachers and schools are always trying to make you go faster, faster, faster, more, more, more, more You never learn anything deeply, right? They’ll teach you the past tense, for example And maybe you’ll practice it two, three, four weeks And then take a test And then you go to the next chapter and they teach you, y’know, the past progressive or, y’know, the present perfect, or some other verb tense And you study that one for a few weeks And then they teach you another one, and then another one, and another one But you never really learn the past tense deeply And so you’re getting all these verb tenses and all this grammar and this vocabulary, but you never learn any of it deeply so that you can use it automatically without thinking It’s always more, more, more, faster, faster, faster That is the opposite of deep learning What you need to is slow down and repeat more Repetition is the mother of skill, that’s a Tony Robbins quote and I love it It means if you really want to be skillful at something, you really want to be able to something well, you have to repeat it many, many, many times That means, for example, with the past tense, you need to hear that thousands upon thousands and thousands and thousands of times correctly so that it goes so deep inside you that you just feel it You know when it’s correct You know how to use it and you never have to think of it Of course, when I speak English and use the past tense, I never think about grammar rules at all, or any verb tense I don’t think about them, because I’ve heard them so many times And especially when I was a child nobody forced me to study advanced grammar rules Nobody confused me with that Instead I listened to lots of simple language, lots of simple basic language, basic sentences, basic grammar, from my family for several years And I didn’t learn that advanced stuff until much later, until I had totally mastered the basics www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking So that’s what you need to do, too You need to really start focusing on repeating more So that means that when you have a lesson, for example, let’s say you’re using one of our lessons Instead of just studying it a couple of days and then going to the next one, and then study that one a few days, and then going to the next one, and trying to go very fast, you’ll the opposite You’ll take one lesson set You’ll listen to it every day for one week or two weeks, maybe even longer You will keep listening to it every single day, maybe one hour a day, until you totally know it deeply inside and you can use it easily So that when you’re listening to that lesson you understand all of it instantly No thought, nothing, it’s super easy And then you’ll still listen a few more days And that’s how you will get deep inside of you so that you can stop translating and stop thinking and just use English automatically, effortlessly So learn deeply means repeat everything a lot, many, many, many times So you want every audio that you listen to, every lesson set from us that you listen to You want to listen to it for at least seven days and two weeks is even better, every single day for 14 days, or every single day for seven days, between that amount of time So that at the end of that you totally and completely know it very well And in every one of our lessons, we’re going to repeat the basics, the most important parts of the language again and again and again So when you go to the next lesson, you’re still going to get a lot of repetition And when you go to the next one, you’ll get a lot of repetition And in this way we train you, we teach you to not only know English for a test, but to actually use it correctly and easily every time And that’s what you really want And that’s it That is Rule # 4: learn deeply Alright, we’ll see you again tomorrow Have a great day Bye-bye www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, I’m Joe Weiss, one of the directors of Learn Real English And today you are going to be learning Rule Number for Excellent English Speaking But before I talk about Rule Number 5, I want you to think back a couple of days to Rule Number Rule Number is not study grammar rules When you study grammar rules, then you think about that grammar before you speak, and that causes you to hesitate And you speak much slower and you understand much slower So since you learned Rule Number 2, you may have wondered, “Hmm, how am I going to learn to speak English with correct grammar if I not learn grammar rules?” Well, that’s what I am going to be teaching you today Okay, so how we it? Well, there is a simple, powerful technique And there is research that shows that this technique is the best way to learn grammar, the best way to learn English grammar or grammar for any language Okay, so what is this technique? Well the technique is called point of view stories, or sometimes it’s even called point of view mini-stories Mini means small, so a mini-story is just a short story So Rule Number is use point of view stories Okay, so now that I’ve told you what the technique is, how we use this technique? How we use point of view stories? Well, first I tell you a story, a mini-story Then, second I tell you the same story but this time I change the point of view of the story So you may be wondering, what does it mean to change the point of view of the story? Well, one way to change the point of view of the story is to change the time that the story occurs So in the first story, I may tell you that story in the present Then, in the second story, I tell you the same story in the past So that is how I change the point of view Another way to change the point of view is to change the person who is actually telling the story or narrating the story Now, I’ll give you an example of that later in this video But one important thing to remember is each time that you change the point of view of the story, you change the grammar in the story So each time I tell you the story, I tell you the same story but you hear different grammar Okay, so now that I’ve told you how to use this technique, I think it’s a good idea that we practice So let’s practice this technique So I will tell you a story in the present, right now Okay, let’s start There is a man and his name is John And John goes to the store and John buys a shirt, and the shirt is blue And John pays $20 for the shirt Okay, so that is our first story, told in the present Now your job is easy You just listen to this story; listen, listen, and you just try to understand what is happening in the story And you listen many times, because we want this information to be stored deeply in your memory Okay, so how we use these www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking stories to learn grammar? Well, now I’m going to tell you the story again Same story, but this time I’m going to tell you the story in the past So let’s start the story One year ago, there was a man and his name was John Now John went to the store and John bought a shirt, and the shirt was blue And John paid $20 for the shirt Okay, so that is the end of the story that I’m telling the second time, in the past this time Now I want to tell you that this is just a very simple and short example Now if you get any of our video lessons or our audio lessons, or if you come to our live event, like one of our seminars, the stories are much longer And they’re much more difficult But in this easy example, we have just heard the story two times We heard the same story, but one time we heard it in the past and one time we heard it in the present So now you would listen to this story, listen many, many times And when you listen, not think about grammar Do not think about what verb tense I’m using Do not think about whether I’m using irregular verb form, no Do not think about that When you listen, you simply listen and you try to understand the story That’s all you need to That’s why this method is so easy, yet so powerful You hear these different stories and you hear them many times You hear the same story with different grammar And soon this grammar becomes deeply stored in your brain And when you speak, you will be able to use this grammar Okay, let’s continue practicing this method Now I am going to tell you this story in the future So let’s start the story One year from now, in the future, there will be a man and his name is going to be John Now John is going to go to the store and John is going to buy a shirt, and the shirt will be blue And John is going to pay $20 for the shirt Okay, so now we have heard the same story three different ways We have heard it in the past, the present and the future Now you notice this is the same story but the words in each story are different as we change the point of view So once again, you would listen to this story many, many times You would not think about grammar at all You would just listen and try and understand the story Okay, now I would like to continue practicing this technique I want to tell you one more story This time I’m going to change the point of view of the story so that John, the character in our story, is telling the story Let’s start the story I am a man and my name is John I went to the store and I bought a shirt The shirt was blue, and I paid $20 for the shirt www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Okay, so that is the end of our fourth story The same story that we have heard each time, but the fourth time I am telling you this story You can hear how the words in the story change, but the story stays the same So this is a very powerful way for you to learn grammar You will listen to this story again and again And you will not think about grammar You will simply listen and try to understand what is happening in the story, that’s why this is such a simple, powerful way for you to learn grammar You hear correct grammar many, many times, and it is stored deeply in your brain Then, when you speak English, you are able to use this correct grammar And you will be able to speak quickly, easily and confidently And your friends and coworkers will notice that your English has become stronger and that you speak more confidently When you use English using point of view stories, you learn English just like a native speaker would You learn like a child would learn, by listening, listening, listening Okay, so Rule Number is use point of view stories They are a powerful, easy way to learn grammar without memorizing boring grammar rules Okay, so this is the end of Rule Number I hope you’ve enjoyed it and I look forward to seeing you soon www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, this is Kristin Dodds, and I’m going to talk to you today about Rule # Now Rule # is a simple rule and it’s a fun rule Rule # will help you to learn idioms and slang Rule # will help you to speak excellent English So what is Rule # 6?

By getting real materials that native English speakers would use I’m going to discuss two examples of real English materials The first example are reading materials Reading is a good choice if you like to read Reading is great for learning English Don’t read textbooks Find materials that are easy enough to understand when you’re reading And find materials that are fun and that interest you So you might have to start out with children’s books Or, if children’s books are too easy, you could try comic books And if comic books are too easy, or maybe they don’t interest you, you could try teenager books And by teenager, I mean, in America teenager is a young adult from the age of 13 to 19 And eventually you will advance to the level of being able to read magazines, or newspapers, or novels, or articles on the internet The second example of real English materials are listening materials Now listening is a great choice because listening should be 80% of English learning Don’t listen to textbook CDs though Don’t listen to people acting out a dialog as if they’re talking in a real conversation Find materials that are easy enough to listen to And by this, I mean that you should be able to understand at least 95% of what you’re listening to, without pausing, and without looking in a dictionary So also find materials that are fun and find materials that interest you So you may need to start with children’s TV programs, or maybe children’s movies, or children’s audio books Now I mentioned audio books in Rule #3 but I didn’t explain what they are Audio books are simply a book that someone is reading and while they’re reading it, they’re recording it, so that you can then listen Now if children’s TV programs or children’s movies or children’s audio books are too easy, then try teenager TV programs, or teenage movies, or teenage audio books And then eventually, if you’re not already there, you’ll advance to the level of being able to listen to podcasts, or the news, or TV programs, adult TV programs, or adult movies, or adult audio books Now why not learn English by reading an English textbook or by listening to a textbook CD? Because these materials are not real, they’re not normal English Textbooks teach formal English or written English The vocabulary and the style are for writing Textbook CDs have people who are acting out conversations They’re not speaking naturally www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking So for Rule # 6, remember, use real English materials Find real English reading materials that are fun, interesting, and easy enough to understand Find real English listening materials that are also fun, and easy, easy enough to understand and are also interesting Rule # is simple, and it’s fun Use real English materials No more boring textbooks No more boring textbook CDs, real English materials Okay, that’s all for Rule # Tomorrow you’ll get Rule # See you later Bye-bye www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking Hi, I’m AJ Hoge, one of the teachers of Learn Real English And today is your last day, the last secret, the last rule And we saved the best one for last The last rule, the last secret is to use listen and answer stories And learn how to think in English See the problem in schools, one of the problems, one of the many problems with English education is that most students learn English through translation Right? You learned English, probably from a teacher who spoke your own language So when you were studying English you were always translating to your language from your language When you studied vocabulary you would memorize the meaning in your language, translation You also learn lots and lots and lots and lots of grammar rules And so that makes you think all the time about English, when you’re supposed to be speaking, when you should be speaking easily without thinking, instead you’re thinking about grammar, you’re thinking about vocabulary You’re also feeling nervous All of these things are happening and that’s why your speaking is not so great right now But we’ve given you rules already and now I’m giving you number to give you a totally new way to learn so that you can teach yourself again, teach yourself English again And in this way, by following all of these rules, you will learn to speak in a very, effortless way, without thinking You will learn to think in English so that the thought comes to you in English and then it comes out of your mouth in English When someone speaks to you, you just know the meaning You don’t have to translate to your language and back again And the most powerful way to this is to use listen and answer stories This is really the center part of our system, the most powerful part It’s essential It’s so, so, so important So what are they? What is a listen and answer story? Well, this is a very, very special way of teaching English So what happens is the teacher asks a story in a very special and specific way And when the teacher uses this method and this technique it trains you, it teaches you and teaches your brain to begin thinking in English It also teaches you to understand faster, faster, faster and faster, and to respond, to speak faster and faster and faster without translating, without thinking about anything So how does that work? You probably noticed I said the teacher asks a story, not the teacher tells a story So the important part of this technique and this method is the teacher will tell a funny, crazy story And we make them funny and crazy because they’re easier to remember See, if we tell you a normal, boring story, you’d probably forget it But if we tell you a story that’s funny and crazy and strange, you’ll remember the story You will also remember the grammar and vocabulary in that story That’s why we make them funny and strange and crazy The other thing that we is that we ask the story, meaning we create a story using lots and lots and lots of simple, easy questions You see, if we just tell you a story, it’s passive You just sit there and you listen and you don’t anything Hm-hm-mm, you’re listening to the story But if we ask you questions www.LearnRealEnglish.com © Copyright: Learn Real English, LLC Rule # For Excellent English Speaking and questions and questions, you have to something Your brain has to understand the question and then answer it immediately, because we ask these questions fairly fast Now the good news is they’re very simple, easy questions That’s also important You see, if we asked you difficult questions, again, you’re going to stop and think And that will teach you to understand more slowly and to speak more slowly We don’t want that Instead, by using really, really, easy, simple questions, we teach you to instantly understand They’re simple and easy so you will understand them quickly And, then, you don’t have to think about the answer It’s so obvious It’s so easy, that you can just say it immediately, very fast That is so important because that trains you It teaches you to respond instantly This is how we’re going to make your brain understand and use English faster and faster and faster and faster And that’s how you learn to start thinking in English And you stop thinking in your own language Instead, you think in English You understand English instantly and you speak it instantly So what happens is the teacher just asks you a bunch of questions, y’know What was there? You’re like I don’t know And we’ll say there was a boy Ah Was there a boy? Then you say yes there was a boy Say, that’s right, yes there was a boy Was there a boy or was there a girl? And you say there was a boy And we just continue telling the story and it becomes stranger and more difficult But we just keep asking lots and lots and lots and lots of these questions And you, your job, is just to shout the answer You use your body You use your voice You use a loud voice You want to teach yourself to be confident and happy while speaking English And that’s it By asking lots and lots of questions, we start repeating the important grammar, many, many, many, many, many times We repeat the important vocabulary many, many, many, many, many times You don’t have to study anything There’s no lists for you to read You just answer the simple questions That’s all And you enjoy this funny, crazy story I mean they’re fun, they’re funny It’s not like studying something boring or terrible It’s a funny, entertaining story And by doing this, constantly, we ask, ask, ask questions, you answer them, answer them, answer them, just shouting them out loud as you listen on your iPod or you listen on your computer You train yourself to think in English, understand instantly, speak very quickly It’s so powerful This is the most powerful part of our system So Rule # 7, the most powerful rule, use listen and answer stories Train yourself to think in English And that is our last rule Congratulations, you did it You have finished our video course So what’s next?
