My name is A.J. Hoge. I live in San Francisco, USA. I am an English teacher. I have a Masters degree in Teaching English. I enjoy travel, SCUBA diving, motorcycle riding, movies, and learning Spanish.I will teach you a new method for learning. I will teachyou how to study-- to speak English faster and more easily.
***Your First Suggestion
Imagine speaking English automatically... without thinking. The words come out of your mouth easily, and fast. You understand instantly.To do this, you must change the way you study English. Your first action is to stop studying English words. What?
Stop studying English words.
That's right, do not memorize words. Native speakers do not learn English by remembering single words. Native speakers learn phrases.
Phrases are GROUPS of words that naturally go together.
**Learn 4x Faster
Research by Dr. James Asher proves that learning with phrases is 4-5 times faster than studying individual words. 4-5 Times Faster.
Also, students who learn phrases have much better grammar.
***RULE 1: Always Study and Review Phrases, Not Individual Words
Never study a single, individual word. Never.
When you find a new word, always write down The Phrase it is in. Always. When you review, always review all of the phrase,.. not the word.
Collect phrases. Your speaking and grammar will improve 4-5 times faster. Never again study a single word. Never write a single word in your notebook, always write the complete phrase.
Learn Phrases Only.
**Your Next Tip Comes Tomorrow
During this week, I will teach you 7 rules for learning English. I will send you a new rule each day, for 7 days.

Hi. How are you? Are you having a good day? I'm doing fine. Let's get started with Day 2 of your email course.
**Rule 2: A Story From Angelina
"My name is Angelina and I'm a student from Paraguay. When I started learning with A.J., I couldn't speak any English. I had studied English grammar many years, but I couldn't speak.
The first day with A.J.'s Effortless English I thought I would study grammar. However, he surprised me because he never taught grammar rules.
Instead, he told a story. He told it many times, in a strange way. He constantly asked questions, and I answered the questions. The questions were super-easy.
Honestly, I was a little confused. I thought he was kind of a crazy teacher
:) I thought I needed to learn more grammar.
I continued with Effortless English and then, after only two weeks, something amazing happened. My speaking improved! My friends asked me, 'How are you improving so quickly?'
I realized that A.J. was quite clever, and the stories and questions and articles were teaching me to speak English, without studying grammar rules. Wow!"
Angelina is a great student. She learned extra fast because she listened to Effortless English 5 hours a day. However, you can improve with just one hour a day.
You can get the same results... but you must follow Rule 2.
**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. Grammar rules teach you to think about English, you want to speak automatically-- without thinking!
With Effortless English, you learn English without grammar study. Your speaking improves quickly. You succeed. You speak English naturally.
So Rule 2 is: Don't Study Grammar!
*The Vital Secret For English Learning Power
In the next email, I will discuss the most important rule for speaking
English easily.
Have a great day and continue to improve your English :) Take Care,

Hi! This is A.J. again, with the next day of your 7 Rules Email Course. I really enjoy emailing you and helping you improve English.
Today is the most important rule. Most schools ignore it.
**Rule 3: A Story
Humberto is from Venezuela. He moved to Canada a few years ago. He studied English in Venezuela for many years-- mostly grammar.
In fact, Humberto learned English with his eyes- by reading textbooks, by studying grammar books, by remembering word lists.
He thought his English was good. But when he came to Canada he was surprised and shocked-- he couldn't understand anyone!
He joined an English school in Canada. He went to school everyday. What did they teach him? More textbooks, more grammar books, more word lists!
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 said:
"I couldn't believe it A.J. After one year, I still couldn't speak English. I told the teacher, 'this is a waste of time'. I was very upset.
Thank God I found a better way. Now I can speak English. I understand native speakers. I talk to Canadians every day. I feel confident. I can't believe I wasted so much time with schools... and so much money too!"
**RULE 3: The Most Important Rule-- Listen First
What is the rule that Humberto found? Simple. The rule is listening.
Listening, listening, listening.
You must listen to UNDERSTANDABLE English. You must listen to
English EVERYDAY. Don't read textbooks. Listen to English.
Its simple. That is the key to your English success. Stop reading textbooks. Start listening everyday.
**Learn With Your Ears, Not Your Eyes
In most schools, you learn English with your eyes. You read textbooks. You study grammar rules.
Effortless English is a listening system. You learn English with your ears, not your eyes. You listen 1-3 hours every day.
Your speaking improves quickly. You speak English easily-- just like Humberto.
Spend most of your study time listening- that is the key to great speaking.
* The Next Powerful Method
Good luck. I know you can do it.
Have a great day. Enjoy these emails and enjoy your English learning! Take Care,

"Hi AJ, Ever since I joined Effortless English Club, I have been listening to every lesson I downloaded into my MP3 player for 5-6 hours a day. Whenever my boss is not around, I put a headphone on and start listening to them!"
===============================================
Hi. Its me again ;) I hope you are feeling good and are enjoying the 7 Rules Email Course. Here's rule 4.
**Rule 4: A Story
Hyun, a student from Korea, said: "Im a very serious student. When studying English in Korea, I memorized 50,000 English words for a big test. Fifty Thousand!
My problem was-- I couldn't USE them. I could pass an English test. But I could not understand native speakers.
With Effortless English, I learned to instantly understand English. I learned how to automatically use vocabulary. After 6 months, I could speak easily. I didn't need to think.
Thanks so much!"
**RULE 4: Slow, Deep Learning Is Best
Hyun learned a lot of words in a short time. Her learning was short and shallow. That's why she quickly forgot the words. That's why she could not use them.
The secret to speaking easily is to learn every word & phrase DEEPLY. Its not enough to know a definition. Its not enough to remember for a test. You must put the word deep into your brain.
To speak English easily, you must repeat each lesson many times. You must learn English deeply.
Learn deeply, speak easily. Learn deeply, speak easily.
How do you learn deeply? Easy-- just repeat all lessons or listening many times. For example, if you have an audio book, listen to the first chapter 30 times before you go to the second chapter. You could listen to the first chapter 3 times each day, for 10 days.
**Deep Learning Of Grammar
What about grammar? How do you learn it deeply, without studying grammar rules?
I'll tell you in the next email.
Have a great day :)

Hi. How are you today? Are you having a great day? I'm doing well. Today I'm back to explain Rule 5. I hope you are enjoying these emails :)
On Day 2, I told you never to study grammar rules. But, of course, you want to use correct English grammar.
Maybe you are thinking, "How can I learn English grammar if I don't study English grammar rules?" Well, today I will tell you.
I will teach you a way to learn grammar naturally. Use this method and your grammar will improve automatically. You will automatically use the correct verb tense. You won't think. You won't try.
**Rule 5: A Story
Miyuki did very well on grammar tests. She knew all of the grammar rules. She knew English verbs.But Miyuki had a problem. 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. How could her grammar tests be so good, but her speaking so bad?
Miyuki said:
"Before Effortless English, I knew all the grammar rules, but I couldn't speak correctly. I couldn't feel English grammar. After using Point of View stories, I feel it and use it correctly.
Now my grammar is great when I speak. I never think about it, I just automatically use correct grammar. Thank you A.J.!"
Miyuki learned this grammar naturally. She never studied grammar rules. How did she do it?
First she listened to a short story in the present tense. She listened to it everyday.
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. This time, it started with "Since 2004..." Miyuki learned to FEEL the perfect tenses by listening to this story.
Finally, I gave her the exact same story... beginning with "Next year". She learned to FEEL the future tense simply by listening to this story.
***RULE 5: Use Point Of View Mini-Stories
I call these stories "Point Of View Mini-Stories". They are the most powerful way to learn and use English grammar automatically.
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
You must learn grammar by listening to real English. The best way is to listen to the same story... told in different times (points of view): Past, Perfect, Present, Future.
How do you do this? Easy! Find a story or article in the present tense. Then ask your native speaker tutor to write it again in the Past, with Perfect tenses, and in the Future. Finally, ask him to read and record these stories for you.
Then you can listen to stories with many different kinds of grammar. You don't need to know the grammar rules. Just listen to the Point of View stories and you will improve grammar automatically!
You can also find Point of View lessons and use them to learn grammar automatically.
It is powerful. It is simple. It is successful. You will succeed. You will use correct grammar naturally and automatically.
This is the secret to English grammar.
**How To Learn Real English
In the next email, I will tell you how to avoid textbooks and learn only real English.
I guarantee you will succeed. Don't quit. You can do it :) Have a great day!
Good luck with your English learning,

================================================
Hi again :) It's me, your English teacher... with another rule!
I want you to think about something today: You have studied English for more than 4 years- why do you still have trouble understanding native speakers?
Nothing is wrong with you. Something is wrong with the schools you went to, and the textbooks you used. English textbooks and audio tapes are horrible.
You never learned REAL English. You learned TEXTBOOK English.
**How To Understand Native Speakers
Megdelio studied English for 5 years in Venezuela. Teachers said he was an advanced student.
When he came to the USA he felt good. He was excited to meet Americans. He was ready. He wrote: "One day I tried to talk to an American woman and everything changed. The woman started talking-- and I couldn't understand her. Not at all! Her pronunciation was totally different than the textbook tapes and CDs I listened to. She used idioms, slang, and many casual phrases.
I was totally confused. That's when I realized I needed to learn real English!"
**You Must Learn Real English
I taught Megdelio to learn with real English materials-- learning the English we use everyday in conversations, books, movies, TV shows, comic books, audio books, articles, newspapers, magazines, and podcasts.
**Stop Learning Textbook English
If you want to understand native speakers, you must stop learning English from textbook tapes and CDs.
To learn real English, you must listen to English that native speakers listen to. You must watch what they watch. You must read what they read.
Listen only to real English Listen only to real English Listen only to real English.
How do you learn Real English? It's easy. Stop using textbooks. Instead, listen only to real English movies, TV shows, audio books, audio articles, stories, and talk radio shows. Use real English materials.
After 6 months of real English, Megdelio could speak easily. He could understand real English from real native speakers. You will too.
**RULE 6: Only Use Real English Lessons & Materials
You learn real English if you want to understand native speakers and speak easily. Use real magazines, audio articles, TV shows, movies, radio talk shows, and audio books.
Learn Real English, Not Textbook English.
Learn Real English, Not Textbook English.
**The Final Rule
In the next email, I will tell you the final rule. I'll teach you how to speak 2-3 times faster. Until then, have a great day and enjoy learning English! Good luck,

Rule 7
Hi. Today is the last rule! Remember, I promised to send you 8 emails.
Today is number 7 :)
Today is the last Rule, and it is the easiest:Most English CDs use "listen and repeat". The speaker says something in English, and you repeat exactly what they said. This method is a failure.
**Rule 7: A Story
Emi, a Japanese woman, had a problem. Her speaking was SLOW. She could not answer questions quickly.
Emi listened to many English tapes and CDs. She listened. She repeated what the speaker said.
Emi emailed me. I recommended "Listen & Answer" lessons. I told her not to use "listen and repeat".
I told her to use "Listen & Answer" Mini-Stories.
I told her that "listen and repeat" is not enough-- when you repeat, you only copy the speaker. But when you hear a question and you ANSWER it-- you must think in English.
After using listen & ANSWER lessons for just 4 months, her speaking was fast, easy, and automatic.
Emi was excited. She wrote:
"The lessons are FANTASTIC! I love them. My speaking is so much faster now. I understand quickly and I can now speak English without thinking.I can't believe it!"
Use Listen & Answer Mini-Story Lessons
Use Listen & Answer Mini-Story Lessons
In each Mini-Story Lesson, a speaker tells a short simple story. He also asks a lot of easy questions. Every time you hear a question, you pause and answer it.
You learn to answer questions quickly-- without thinking. Your English becomes automatic.
How can you use Listen & Answer Stories? Easy! Find a native speaker tutor. Ask him to use this method: Ask him to tell a story... and to constantly ask you easy questions about it.
This will teach you to think quickly in English!
You can also find Listen & Answer lessons. They will teach you to think quickly in English.
**What's Next?
That is the last rule! How can you continue?
A great way to use the 7 Rules is to use my Effortless English Club lessons. I teach you to speak English easily, and fast. My lessons use all of the 7 Rules.
