 What changes the life of all my past students is the
massive action they take to apply what I teach them. Those who
use the strategies that I share are the ones who
create exceptional success beyond their wildest imaginations.
Adam Khoo

8 Step
Method
1. Learn Pronunciation from a native speaker. Your country has specific sounds and so does English. Learn the
equivalents in your language e.g. tch in Portuguese is ch in English.
Learn the new sounds aswell. Germans say V for V and W. Push your lips out and say Water.

2. Learn all the words which are similar to your Language. This technique was originally suggested by Dr Bruno
Furst. There are often many patterns between the languages. http://barnesmethod.bigbig.com/ has
some collections available for free. By learning, this way you can pronounce and write in a similar way to
your language and your memory will increase.

3. Learn in opposites. For every word there is an opposite. When you learn one word, learn the opposite at
the same time. It is possible to communicate with one word in every language.
Coffee! Coffee? Coffee. Coffee and. Coffee with. Coffee!?
Tea is the opposite of Coffee or no coffee. More literal opposites include Up/Down, Left/Right
A.G. Hawke is certified in 7 languages and uses this technique.
This technique will improve your Memory and Understanding.

4. Learn the Prepositions correctly. Prepositions do Not translate with a dictionary. They are Kinaesthetic.
They are feelings. Russians imagined standing On the road and they say “I'm on the street”. English imagine
the street as a box with the buildings on both sides and the road below so “I'm in the street”. Practise them
in patterns and be the 2nd person to use prepositions correctly (I am the 1st)

5. Learn Verbs and Nouns in Example Sentences. English people have no idea what a phrasal verb is or the
present past continuous backwards forwards lemon and lime form of a word. Computers and robots talk
like that.
Instead Learn Verbs and Nouns. This is how English people learn at school.
Practise speaking with a native speaker using the verbs/nouns and add the Prepositions you have already
learned.

6. Speaking. Talk, talk, talk and talk some more. Your Professor should correct you continuously until you
speak correctly. You will speak perfect English today! is the attitude of an awesome teacher.
If the student has very basic English then Flash Cards with both languages on are excellent and give the
student a real sense of progress.

7. Children's books. An extra great thing for students also is to have a children's grammar book for homework.
Children's grammar books are so simple even a child could use them. There is a list of 10 pronunciation
patterns which are all similar so when the student understands they will find it very easy to remember. A
children's picture dictionary is also a brilliant thing. They have the pictures and 3 patterns of sentences with
synonyms. These also make a class easier to teach.

8. Computer Programs
Through learning Portuguese I have discovered a large number of excellent language learning programs. In
some ways they are better than teachers and I think you should use computer programs together with a
teacher to double your learning. Learn new words and patterns with the computer and test them with a
teacher. Rosetta Stone is brilliant for learning patterns, pronunciation and uses pictures to make you
remember even more. Before You Know It gives you perfect memory of phrases and words with the
pronunciation emphasised.

 You can slow the voices to half speed to really focus your pronunciation and I have remembered phrases 14
days after I learned them. FSI is the most comprehensive course I have ever taken, unfortunately its not
available for learning English. Fast free translators and dictionaries such as Wordweb and Freelang are
excellent additions to your studies.

For Advanced
Students
An advanced student doesn't have to learn more English. They can already
communicate. So its important to teach them useful things which add
something to their lives. I recommend:

 Learn the things for your job. Ask students about their jobs and
offer to let them bring work books to your class.

 Learn things about money. A student has asked me many times to help
him with his bank account (he used to work in a bank aswell). The
student is paying complete attention to whatever you teach them and
will remember more if the subject is important to them. I have found
money to be an amazing motivator for me learning a 2nd language. I
will read a foreign magazine for hours because of the money hidden
inside the language (i'm going to find more of it). If you want to
double the students motivation then use:

 Friends and Relationships. If you can teach a person the skills to

talk to the opposite sex they will find themselves happy to practise
and may keep their teacher longer. Social skills are a great
motivator.

 Do what you love. What do you love doing? If the person loves
History (some people do) then grab a 50p history book from a charity
shop and make them read it. In terms of pronunciation you can have a
student read their favourite subject and correct/explain as you go
along. This type of class is maximum benefit for student and teacher.
Most students are happy to learn by themselves and just want a teacher
to correct them. Give them what they want.

 Read a newspaper. Specifically, read your favourite section. Girls

go to the Star signs whilst Guys go to the Sports. In London they
give Free newspapers in the street and there are local free papers
elsewhere in the country.

 Study for an exam. These include the Cambridge First Certificate

(FCE), Cambridge Advanced Certificate (CAE), IELTS, English GCSE.
Having an exam to study for gives you a definite target. Cambridge
covers 5 parts of English and so will offer you a variety of skills
which you can use before, during and after the exam. IELTS has no
pass grade and the English GCSE is taken by English people at 16 so
its a good comparison to native English.

 Learn idioms and phrasal verbs. These give you an extra something and
link the other parts of English together. An idiom often explains
certain situations very effectively. Phrasal verbs are a part of
native English. We (English people) don't ever learn these and so we
my find them hard to explain. They are worth studying and a quick tip
is that:
Copyright © 2008 and 2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media
 Phrasal verbs are usually 2 words which mean the same as 1 word e.g.
carry on = continue

 Newsletters: Every website has a newsletter nowadays. Type in your

name/nickname and email address and you will receive free
information on your favourite subject. They usually arrive every 7
days which gives you plenty of time to read the best ones.

 Learn from many methods and sources. Every method and techniques
has several benefits. Some are better for memory, others for
pronunciation and native English is the best thing about a few
methods. You will get the most learning from the most sources.
And the patterns you make will be more accurate. If 3 different
methods all say the same way to learn Verbs then you know learning
this way is a good idea. I meet students who studied with only 1
method before me and they were sure about the things they knew. To
be sure you need to hear 3 different people say it correctly for
example, then it will be obvious this is correct.

Music. I remembered every word from every song I listened to when I was young (and still now I
think). I even remember words from Portuguese artists and I don't speak Portuguese fully yet.
Get the music from your target language. And make patterns. I heard students say they only
want to learn British English and English culture is quite Americanised anyway. If you learn
American and English together you will hear the similarities between the 2. Then you will realise if
a word is used in both countries its essential to remember.

Techniques to
Use with Every Stage
Patterns. A pattern is when we do things 3 times. 3 times is a pattern.
1st time: it could be a coincidence.
2nd time: lucky
3 times: its a pattern. Something is happening here. Its repeatable and predictable and probably worth
remembering.
Teach students in 3s. They understand patterns. Its a thing humans understand.
With pronunciation I suddenly write 3 words with the same letters an ask them to pronounce.
Sometimes they realise that I wrote them because they sound the same and say them correctly for the 1st
time.
You can say things in a pattern

New pattern technique: if there was something you made mistakes with e.g. the/a/an were not in
sentences. Then translate 3 examples of the correct English into your language.

The government believed

The USA is a big place
I like the UK

When you translate you will See some similarity. For example I did this with a polish guy and 2 of the
sentences translated the same. Both sentences did not have The. In English a collection of
countries/states/counties is “The UK, The US, The USSR”. In polish The is missing.
And it is still equal. Between portuguese and English > vai = going to. If you look for similarities you will
find them. OK OK.

Native Level English is the ability to translate 5 different phrases/sentences with identical meaning
immediately.
Your language is wonderful and you coffee is great, now decide to learn things quickly and easily.

Sequence: How do we remember days, months, numbers and similar things. Through sequence and due
to this being popular in every language we can make use of it. A student didn't pronounce Thursday
correctly and mixed it up with Tuesday (as many people did). So I say the days either side of Thursday:
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday then Thursday, Friday, Saturday then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday.
Then I ask the student to say all the days to me in sequence and they do so perfectly.
This technique makes use of patterns (do things 3 times), grouping (days) and of course sequence.
I use this for numbers aswell and because the student already has numbers/days stored in their mind this
way. They recognise it immediately. It is familiar, which is according to Virginia Satir the greatest need
within humans.

Personal Flash Cards: Students often have plenty of time to, learn new things. A spare hour or 2 during the
day and sitting on the train/bus staring into space. I began reading because I had a 1.5 hour journey to
college everyday. Reading seems very exciting when there was nothing else to do. Teachers can create
flash cards from the improvements the student must make. Students are very willing to use the cards.
They create the opportunity to practise the things you teach thus a person progresses to the next level.

Reward Good Behaviour: A teacher smiling, giving applause, looking excited or anything you can think of
can show a person they are doing well. When you was a baby people were so happy and excited when
you said one word. This amount of joy can inspire anyone, even adults. I recently started giving students
chocolate if they do well, you can do this if you like making people happy. Maybe you can direct
exceptional students to extra free resources e.g. http://barnesinstitute.2freedom.com
I remember Maths at primary school. I was really enjoying the books, I did all the exercises and then I
asked for another book or more exercises. Primary Teacher didn't give me anything. So 20 minutes of
unfun and I loved maths. But then when they started teaching silly stuff at secondary school I stopped.
I could be doing a maths degree right now (boring) if a teacher had given me extra maths books.
Help your students learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, OK
If they asked to learn something in the class and you don't know about it yet, google it later and send them
the information you find. They will appreciate it and you will make more money in the future.
If you are learning English then reward yourself.
5 cans of beer or a big bar of chocolate after studying all day is good for you and You deserve it.

MP3 Recorder: This can be for teachers who record their classes to give to students or for people learning
English who can record new words/phrases they learn during the day. This is a useful tool whenever you
decide to use it. I bought a portable MP3 player for £17 and discovered it has a recording function. The
quality is surprisingly good also in fact its the best recorder I have had and that includes large stereo
systems.

Use English to Describe English: If you want True native English then forget grammar terms. Past present
continuous backward forward lemon and lime is Not English. Robots speak better English than grammar
books did. If a word is Continuous then its true for yesterday, today and tomorrow. e.g. He drinks coffee
(everyday). Everytime you Use English to describe English you make the memories deeper and its quicker
than translating between languages. You will Fill your mind with synonyms automatically this way.

Read sentences backwards: I'm learning some Portuguese now and to make my pronunciation of
sentences smooth i'm reading them backwards.
When you pronounce a sentence backwards your brain goes “oh this is easy forwards, it was hard
backwards”. People learn by comparing what's different.
