hi I'm AJ Hoge the director of effortless English and i have been
teaching English for WoW over 12 years and while teaching english i have found
in many countries all around the world that many students have the same kinds
unfortunately for example i have found that most students read well but speak
do you sometimes feel that you read English well
but you do not speak english well I'm sure this is very difficult for you
it's a very common problem all around the world and also for immigrants here
in the United States and in Canada and other english-speaking countries
do you sometimes feel nervous or shy when you speak English well this is
again is very common it's a very common problem
so many students feel very nervous and shy when they want to speak English and
they feel bad bored tired frustrated shy nervous about speaking English
so when I was a teacher I saw this in the past I saw it in all my classes and
all the different schools in so many different countries
the same problems and i realized i needed to find a better way to teach
because the old methods they were not working
most students had these problems even after many many years of studying
English so I searched in fact i went back to school
and I got a master's degree in teaching english i also did a lot of research
I looked and I looked for better teaching methods better teaching
techniques and finally after many years of teaching and looking
I found the answer to help students like you speak English quickly easily and
automatically and i'm happy to say that now
my students are successful students who use my methods to study with me
they learn to speak English quickly easily and automatically also very
they feel strong confident relaxed happy when they are speaking English you can
so the first thing you need to realize you probably already know the old ways
of learning the old ways of teaching
they don't work they are not successful
for example in most English schools in most English classes you study a lot of
grammar rules you study grammar rules and textbooks
it doesn't work it's not successful
right you have probably study grammar rules
many many years but still you have trouble speaking English
another thing that doesn't work is forced speaking probably and some of
the teacher put you in little groups and told you to speak to each other right
the students speak to each other
you had some speaking activity you have done this kind of activity for many many
still you're having problems you're not alone
this is very common it does not work
memorizing long list of vocabulary
I'm sure you have done this maybe in the past maybe you are still trying to do
it doesn't work to study these long lists
why will you forget most of them very very quickly
studying vocabulary list doesn't work it's not a good method
so what's the solution well the number one solution is easy input
I actually have a seven rules course that teaches you my system
all of the effortless English system so i created a system that uses seven
different rules but this is probably the most important one
easy input i'm going to teach it to you now
well input means it's coming in so that means easy listening and easy reading
how do you use this rule how do you use this to speak English quickly easily and
automatically will step number one you need to focus on a lot of easy listening
most students try to listen to English that is too difficult
so you don't understand a lot of it when you don't understand a lot
you learn more slowly I know you want to learn a lot of vocabulary
don't worry you will eventually learn difficult english but now you need to
focus on a lot of easy easy english listening
your step number two with that easy listening
you need to repeat it many many times you need to repeat every English audio
step number three don't speak English for six months
what you're probably thinking what are you crazy a lot of students are
surprised about this but i recommend that you do not try to speak English for
don't worry about speaking you can speak a little bit if you need to or if you
want to but don't focus on speaking
don't focus on speaking for the next six months
what are you going to do instead for the next six months step 4
just listen I'm going to listen and listen and listen to a lot of English
you are going to focus on listening for six full months
this is in a very important part of the effortless English system now I know you
think this is strange but look all babies do this right
all babies have a silent . right he imagined a baby we have a little baby
and we go to the little baby and we tell the baby
hello baby hello and then we reshape the baby we say baby say how the baby smiles
confused strength is a baby say hello hello hello
right we keep doing it again and again
the baby will never say hello of course not
we know this is crazy with a baby all babies for what may be one year
sometimes longer sometimes a little shorter they just listen they listen and
they don't try to speak and the parents don't force them to speak they listen
this is called a silent . this is the reason that all babies learn to speak
they learn perfect grammar perfect pronunciation and a lot of vocabulary
they are fluent well you want to be like the baby you want to have a silent .
also now you are an adult or older
so you don't need a total silent . you can speak a little bit of English but in
focus just on listening here are a few do's and don'ts things to do and things
to not to do number one as i said already
I'm going to repeat it again and again because it's so important
you should understand ninety-five percent or more of everything
you listen to in english so another thing to do I told you again before me
tell you again repeat every English audio 20 to 50 times now not in the same
day of course right so maybe on the first day you listening to something in
maybe some little conversation on a CD
well on day one maybe you listen to it five times the next day
listen again to the same audio five six times the next day
a day number 3 again five six eight times the next day again
so you listen to the same audio many times each day for maybe one week maybe
at least 20 to 50 times for each audio more is ok now here's something obvious
if you listen again and again and again you might get bored so it's important to
audio right so focus on topics you like if you like travel find English audio
if you like sports find English audio about sports topics then it will be
it's so important do not choose audio that's boring
obviously you won't like it choose things that are interesting and fun for
you and listen to them many many times
here's again I'm going to remind you again i will say it again it's so so
do not listen too difficult english i know so many students you are very
you want to try very hard I understand but it will not help you to listen too
difficult English for example so many students try to listen to english movies
well for most of you that's too difficult right
most of you maybe you only understand seventy percent of CNN
maybe less it's okay don't worry you don't need to get rid of it throw it
save it for later in the future
yes you will be able to understand CNN you will be able to understand movies
audio when you can understand easy audio quick
well then the more difficult audio also becomes easy
