Lesson 1 – The Right Way to Learn toSpeak English (New) Want to improve your English speaking fast? If yes, you must do two things… Number one, spend more time on learning methods that actually work. Number two, stop wasting time on learning methods that don’t work. Make sense, right? But how do you know what works and what doesn’t? The video tutorial below will answer that question. Summary 1. There are two ways to learn to Speak English: explicitly or implicitly. 2. Explicit learning results in explicit knowledge. To use explicit knowledge, you need to think about it. 3. Implicit learning results in implicit knowledge. To use implicit knowledge, you don’t need think about it. 4. Implicit learning is the right way to learn English because you don’t need to “think” about English when speaking. But Wait a Minute! If explicit learning doesn’t work, how come many English students like to learn this way? The answer is simple. When people learn English explicitly (for example, studying grammar), they feel like they’re learning something. It gives them a sense of accomplishment. When people learn English implicitly (for example, listening to English conversations), they don’t feel like they’re learning anything. So there’s no sense of accomplishment. That’s why most people don’t like to do it. Learning Activities to Stop Doing 1. Stop studying grammar. Stop consuming articles and Youtube videos about grammar. Get rid of your grammar books. Stop going to English classes that teach grammar. 2. Stop consuming articles and Youtube videos with titles like these: Talk, Speak, Tell – What’s the difference? 6 confusing words – small & little, big & large, tall & high Slang in English – Bodily Noises – FART, BURP, YAWN, HICCUP, QUEEF These titles have nothing to do with grammar, but they teach English vocabulary explicitly, which results in explicit knowledge. Even if you understand the video/article perfectly, you won’t be able to use that knowledge when speaking. Here’s What You Need To Do Knowledge is useless without action. Here’s what you can do to make what you’ve learned today useful: If you’re currently learning English explicitly (for ex, studying grammar), decide if you want to continue doing that. If you decide to continue, unsubscribe from this website immediately. This website is not for you. You can find the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email I sent to you. If do decide to stop, that’s great! Just wait for the next lesson to arrive in your inbox. Lesson 2 – Why You Must Listen to English Regularly. (Even If Your Listening is Good.) This is lesson 2 the free English mini-course. Lesson 1 is here. In the first lesson, you learned that they are two ways to learn to speak English. Implicit learning and explicit learning. You learned that you must learn English implicitly to speak English well. In this lesson, we’ll talk about one of the best methods for learning English implicitly… listening. Let’s Start With Some Bad News for Those Who Hate Listening Here’s the bottom line: if you want to speak English well, you have to listen to English on a regular basis. It’s impossible to become an advanced English speaker without a lot of listening. Why? To speak English well, you need to build implicit knowledge of English. The greater your implicit knowledge, the better. (If you don’t understand this, go back to thefirst lesson.) And guess what…listening is the easiest way to build your implicit knowledge of English. If we take two groups of English students, and we tell the first group to study grammar everyday while telling the second group to listen to English everyday. their sentence structure is much better. Why? The reason is that the second group has greater implicit knowledge of English than the first group. and so on and so forth. you’ll find that the second group can speak English much better than the first group — They are better at finding appropriate words to use. .Over the period of six months. Greater implicit knowledge = better speaking. lesson 1 | lesson 2 Have you ever tried to talk to yourself in English? Some English students do it.

If you’re not interested. Previous lessons: lesson 1 | lesson 2 | lesson 3 | lesson 4 People often ask me how long it took me to become good at speaking English. I know the precise duration because I took notes to track my progress. you can simply ignore it. I realized that I still wasn’t satisfied with my speaking. I believe you can improve your speaking faster if you learn from my mistakes. This is going to be a long lesson. and they ask me to share my story as well. I started studying subjects like skill development. The lessons were good for beginners but it wasn’t effective enough for an intermediate like me. The Biggest Mistakes That I Made Now that I’ve told you my story. Eventually. After I started using that technique. The first chance was at a meeting where each of us was asked to give opinions about certain things. I revised the technique a few times to make it more effective. it took me only four months to finally reach the point where I was quite satisfied with my English speaking. Mistake #1: Spending too much time on easy English lessons As I alluded to earlier. In spite of that. I invented something similar to the Imitation technique that I teach in the third module of my English course. I still practiced each lesson at least seven times since I didn’t know what else to do.become truly fluent in English. since every lesson had the same difficult level. At first. I had two different opportunities to speak English with others. I found the lessons to be quite challenging. The second chance was a 1 – 1 meeting. and I stopped improving. but overall it was impressive. make sure you don’t make these same mistakes. I named the technique “Imitation. The technique really works! After that. the training quickly became easy. (At this point.) . However.) He told his students to use each lesson every day for at least seven days. This is another reason it took me a long time. I want to share with you the three biggest mistakes that I made during my journey—mistakes I wish I hadn’t made. I spent five months researching and trying new techniques. I had not discovered Imitation yet. (He’s still very famous today. The One Technique That Helped Me Improve Very Quickly After five months of researching and trying new things. I started improving my English by using English courses. Below is what I wrote in my journal after having used the technique for about four months: Today. The creator of those courses was probably the most famous English teacher on the Internet.” I chose that name because the key idea behind the technique is to imitate native speakers so that you speak English like them. I followed his advice. I spoke fluently. I was able to explain everything I wanted to explain. If you want to improve fast. I made small mistakes and couldn’t come up with the right words sometimes. This kind of training was new to me. The second problem is that you don’t learn any new vocabulary if you practice this way. I still hadn’t ditched the other methods that I’d been using. Even after I became quite good at speaking English thanks to Imitation. All you need to know is that they were difficult to use and not as effective as Imitation. focusing solely on using Imitation to improve my speaking. I will not tell you what those methods were. it’s really obvious why that was a big mistake. They are the reasons it look me 1 year and 9 months instead of 9 – 12 months. Don’t waste your time doing it. you’ll never become good enough at speaking English. Mistake #2: Trying to improve my speaking by talking about random things (to myself) After I stopped using those easy English courses.Looking back. All right. The bottom line is. If a certain lesson is too easy. I’ll move on to the next one immediately. . When I practiced this way. I had no idea if I was speaking English properly or not. That’s the reason the EngFluent course has both easy lessons (Module 1) andadvanced lessons (Module 2). if will not repeat that lesson. I stopped using the other methods altogether. Those are the three biggest mistakes I wish I hadn’t made. Even if you repeat those courses a thousand times. talking to yourself about random stuff doesn’t work very well. But I didn’t know that at the time. Mistake #3: Trying to improve my speaking using too many methods. I didn’t work at all. here’s what I’d do instead: 1. what’s my plan for the day. I improved a lot faster. I had a feeling that if there were other people listening to me. When I tried to express an idea. Once I realized that. If you keep using courses that only have easy exercises. and before I came up with the Imitation technique. I want to keep challenging my students’ English level. your English will still be at the same level since you’re not really challenging your current English level. Because of that decision. etc. they probably wouldn’t understand me since I wasn’t speaking English like native speakers. I tried to improve my speaking by talking to myself in English. Instead. There’s no need to spend my valuable time on easy lessons. I would talk about what I did yesterday. The first problem is that I wasn’t exposing myself to correct English. It took me some time to realize that Imitation is really the best way to improve my speaking. If I had to start over. Practice with one English course until I’ve mastered every lesson. There’s no step- by-step strategy. “don’t be afraid to make mistakes. Finally. I will start using the Imitation technique immediately. Today. I had always been upset with English teachers on the Internet. They tended to give students mediocre advice: They’d tell you. At the time. I got really excited. I would do that by sharing proven methods and techniques that were based on personal experience. and I’m really proud of what I’m doing.” but they didn’t tell you how to practice in a way that you will make fewer and fewer mistakes over time. no plan. no framework. And I wanted to share it with the world. out of frustration.) They’d tell you. I will not waste my time on any other learning activities that are less effective. it’s simply a total waste of time. I had discovered a technique that would allow any English student to become truly fluent in English. The advice might “seem” to be useful. “try to speak English as much as possible” or “practice every day. (They didn’t have one.2. Staring EngFluent was the best decision of my life. I’m making an impact on people’s lives through my YouTube videos and my English Fluency Training course. (They didn’t know it. I made one of the biggest decisions in my life.) They’d tell you. But in reality. Once I’ve mastered the basics. So. “just be confident.) The problem with these pieces of advice is that they aren’t very actionable. I quit my job as a software engineer and started EngFluent to teach people how to become truly fluent in English. Most of them were not sharing anything worthwhile. .” but they didn’t tell you what to do if you have on one to talk to. (They actually didn’t know how.” but they didn’t give you any concrete plan for improving your English so that you can speak confidently.
