definitely: adv. 100% surely; absolutely native English speakers: n. people born in an English speaking country closely: adv. carefully

would tell you, definitely -- it's the ability to understand native English speakers. That's because the most important part of learning English is.... listening. Listen closely. You could spend a lot of money on English schools, textbooks, CDs, and websites -- but all that study isn't going to help if you can't understand English, because you won't be able to use anything you learn. In the next 5 minutes, I'll show you how to easily learn the skill of listening to increase your English skill 20%, 30%, or even 50%. Here are a few things you'll learn when you read this article:

skill: n. ability; something you can do well

break rules: v. dont follow rules; dont obey does not work: v. is not successful

* Why 99.9% of English schools fail -- how they break rules of English learning -- and so fail to teach their students successfully. * Why grammar study does not work -- and why it can kill your speaking ability. * How to increase your vocabulary -- and remember it after you study.

automatically: adv. without trying, without effort

* How to understand more -- and then speak English automatically. There is a science to learning English. And there are rules about how to best learn the language. When these rules are followed, anyone can be successful.

opportunity: n. chance; possibility explain: v. teach, talk about iBT: n. internet Based Test

This is an incredible opportunity for you -- but only if you take it. Your first step is to read all of this article. Please read carefully -- I don't want you to miss a word-- because when I explain English learning for you, you cannot fail. You will improve your listening, vocabulary, speaking, grammar, and iBT TOEFL scores.

"A.J. is a wonderful teacher. My English ability is much better after following his course. My vocabulary is growing, I understand more, and I'm actually enjoying English!" -- Noi, Korean student, San Francisco.

The True Power of Language Learning the key: n. the most important idea Interesting and understandable English is the key to learning English. Real and interesting English gives you power to learn -- and real, understandable English has the power to completely change your English.

textbooks: n. school books

The best English learners are children, of course. Why? Because they don't study grammar and they don't learn from textbooks. They learn first from listening-- then later from listening and reading. The most powerful English learners are children and the older students who copy children's methods. They speak like native speakers. They have excellent pronunciation. They learn vocabulary quickly and easily. They understand grammar automatically.

methods: n. ways; how something is done native: adj. original, from (born in) a country or place

Why Most Students Fail You would think that because there are so many books about learning English, most students must have great English skill. This isn't true. There are many students who know grammar rules, but very few students can actually use English. myth: n. lie; a story or belief that is not true. surprise: n. something not expected; something shocking confuse: v. make you feel stupid; make your thoughts unclear prevent: v. stop fluent: adj. speaking fast and easily confusing: adj. causes your thoughts to be unclear; causes you to feel stupid confuse: v. make you feel stupid; make your thoughts unclear MYTH: The best way to learn English is to study grammar. Wrong! Just because someone knows grammar, doesn't mean they are good at English. Here's a surprise: Students who know a lot of grammar are usually worse at English than those who don't study grammar. That's because grammar rules confuse them. Grammar rules prevent them from being fluent. Children don't learn English by studying grammar- you shouldn't either. What most people don't know is that grammar "rules" are not really rules. The rules you learn in textbooks are confusing, too difficult, or even wrong. They confuse you. Therefore, learning more grammar will not improve your English. Simply studying vocabulary words won't help either. "Did you know that grammar study can actually kill your English ability?" Why? Because grammar study slows your brain. It confuses you. It makes you think about English, instead of speaking automatically. This is a proven fact. Grammar study and textbooks are not effective. They cause you to think about English. They make you translate English-- what you want to do is use English easily, without thinking. Therefore, to learn English like a native speaker, you need something else.

proven: adj. 100%; definite; has evidence not effective: adj. not successful; doesnt work translate: v. to think in your language and then change it to English (and vice versa)

Secrets of an English Teacher My name is A.J Hoge. I started teaching English 10 years ago when I worked in Korea, teaching children. Over the past 10 years, I've taught: v. teach (past tense) taught both children and adults. I've taught at Universities in The United States (Lanier Technical College), Thailand (Thammasat adults: n. people over 18 University), and Japan (Hirodai University). I have a Masters Degree years old in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). When teaching in Japan, I saw that most students learn slowly. After 5 years of English, they could not speak English. They could not communicate. They could not understand me. But I also saw a few different students. These few learned quickly. They understood me. They talked to me easily. They enjoyed English. Their grammar was better, their vocabulary was better, their test scores were better. I asked myself, "Why are these few students so much better? What are they doing differently?" I asked all of my students questions too. I asked them how they studied. I asked them what they studied. I learned why some students improved easily and quickly, but most failed.

improved: v. got better

an instructor: n. a teacher (usually at a college or university) ESL: n. English as a Second Language capable: adj. good, skillful, effective, successful interviewed: v. to ask people a lot of questions research: n.(adj.) scientific study knowledge: n. information

"During the time that he was an instructor in Lanier Technical Colleges Adult ESL program, he proved himself to be most capable and effective. " -- Flo Smith, Director, Lanier Technical College After Japan, I studied students more carefully. I interviewed hundreds of students. I read research articles. I talked to people who spoke 3, 4,-- even 9 languages. I wanted to find the secret to learning English. At the end of 2006, I knew I had the answer. I finally had enough knowledge and experience. I knew why a few students succeeded, but most others failed.

program: n. system, school, In October 2006, I started my own English teaching program. I wantcourse ed to teach English successfully. I wanted to help students truly learn English.

enthusiastic: adj. excited and positive

The Birth of Effortless English I started my English teaching program because most schools fail. There are too many students who do not learn English-- because they are using bad textbooks and going to bad schools. millions: n. 1,000,000s I wanted to help the millions of English students who want to learn English faster -- and better.

The Failure of the English Industry

Publish Date: December 31, 2006 More Sound (Audio) Archives Available At: http://www.effortlessenglish.libsyn.com Does it frustrate you that you still cant communicate with English well? Does it make you angry that you could be learning much faster-- if you knew how? The English industry is a huge international business. It includes publishing companies, big chain schools, independent schools, study abroad programs, high schools, and universities. English is big business. Its also a business that grows from failure. In America, in Japan, in Taiwan, in all the world-- most English schools fail their students. Students spend hundreds and thousands of dollars on books and classes. They are told the cost is necessary. They are told that the class has a special system that will guarantee success. All over the world, good students spend huge amounts of moneyhoping the English industry is right. They start class full of hope. They want to learn English. They hope to speak to native speakers someday. They may hope to study abroad. They may hope to get a better job. They may hope to make new friends. They may hope to live in America or Canada and make a new life. But what usually happens? A Venezuelan student told me that English schools are killers of hope. He studied at an intensive English school for one year. At the end of the year he still couldnt understand or use any English. Luckily, he found a better way. But many students never do. The English industry never blames itself. Schools never say their teaching methods are failures. They blame you, the student; and maybe you blame yourself. Schools say you didnt work hard

enough. They say you need to continue with classes. Eventually, you might think English is impossible. You, however, are not the problem. The school is the problem. The textbooks are the problem. Most schools say they teach natural English, but actually they do not. Most schools use a grammaranalysis way of teaching. They teach students to memorize complicated grammar rules. They teach students to memorize long lists of translated vocabulary. They use unnatural conversations and boring activities. They use tests. Research shows that these ways of teaching are failures. They do not work. They are not successful for most students. It is not the student that is failing, it is the school and the textbook. The good news is that you CAN learn English like a native speaker. You can succeed. You can learn to understand native speakers. You can learn to talk with them. You can get a high TOEFL or TOEIC score. You can really learn English. You can succeed- you only need to change the way you learn. Change your study method to change your results. What way should you use? What does research say is best? What is actually successful? The research says an input method is best. This means you should listen to and read real English. It means you should focus on input, reading and listening, that you understand. You should listen one hour, or more, to English everyday. You should also read every day, but not textbooks. You should read fun and interesting things. You should read real English-- childrens books, adolescent novels, comic books, articles, magazines, and novels. You should get things that seem just a little bit easy. If you do this every day, in a relaxed way, you will succeed. If you focus on real English input, not fake textbook English, you will succeed. You will improve faster. You will enjoy English more. You will increase your test scores. And you will do this without spending a lot of money.

Listening & Pronunciation
native: first; where you were Listening is the most important part of learning a new language. Listening is how babies first learn their native language. Listening is born where speaking ability comes from. Listening is (mostly) how you ability: skill learn the new language. improve: get better input: what comes in (to the Yes, we all want to speak. But speaking will improve from input-reading and listening. brain) download: get from the internet podcasts: sound (MP3) shows; internet radio shows; internet radio articles; internet sound lessons audio articles: sound stories audio: sound repetitive: repeated unknown words: words you dont understand rapidly: quickly; fast magical: amazing; incredible; wonderful phrases: groups of words; more than one word stick: stay; dont leave effort: trying; hard work notice: hear or see; be aware of; recognize adds up to: makes; is a total of replaces: is instead of; in place of texts: written words review: look at again, read again, study again Therefore, I always tell my students to LISTEN, LISTEN, LISTEN a lot. I tell them to download podcasts, audio articles, and audio books. I tell them to buy the DVD of a TV show and watch it again and again and again. When I say "listening" I mean repetitive listening. You need to listen to the same thing many times. The first time you listen to something, you may not understand much. But if you read the same thing and find the meaning of unknown words... then listen to it many times everyday- you will rapidly begin to understand it. Then something else magical happens. A few of the phrases stick in your brain... with no effort. Steve Kaufman, who speaks 9 languages, says this about listening: "All kinds of listening will help you improve your listening ability. However, it is best to listen to the same thing many times. This way the new words and phrases will become a part of you. If you are also studying new words and phrases, you will notice them while listening. Soon you will be able to use them. They will become a part of you. If you do a little bit at a time, you will be surprised how quickly it adds up to an hour. Remember that the time listening replaces time in a classroom. You have more freedom if you take your listening with you. This is more useful than a lot of classroom study. Listen often to things that you basically understand. Read the texts from time to time. Also make sure that you review the words and phrases that you have saved. Then listen again."

The Effortless Way
difficult: hard Just how can you improve English without difficult study? How can you improve vocabulary, listening, grammar, and speaking without using textbooks or expensive schools? I hear these questions from many people. Of course, the basic question is, How does The Effortless Way work? The Effortless English system comes from a lot of research. The idea is-- language is learned from comprehensible input. Comprehensible means understandable- can be understood. Input, in this case, means listening and reading. So, we learn a language by understanding phrases in that language. Its simple, right? This happens to all babies. Our mom says, mama, mama, mama while smiling and holding us. Every day she says, mama, mama, mama. One day, when we accidently say something like mama, our mom laughs, cheers, and smiles. She is very happy. Eventually we understand that mama is the sound for our mother.

phrases: more than one word; a group of words simple: easy; not hard; not complicated accidently: by chance; without trying cheers: yells (to celebrate); encourage

We quickly go from these simple messages to understanding senmessages: communications tences. For example, when mom says, come to mama-- if we move towards mom, everybody laughs, cheers, and smiles. Now we understand that this sentence means move towards mom. Once we learn a lot of this simple language, we are ready for more difficult ideas. We begin to read- and thats when our vocabulary and grammar grow very quickly. We learn thousands of words every year. We dont study most of these words. We never try to memorize context: situation them. We learn them by reading. We understand their meaning from repetition: doing the same context-- from the situation in the story. We understand them from thing many times; again and repetition. By listening and reading to things we mostly understand, again we can learn the parts we dont know. We learn most of our language this way. system: way of doing something This is how you will learn at Effortless English. My system has both fairly: somewhat; a little easy and fairly difficult articles, but I use several methods to make methods: way of doing them understandable. something; system; way

First, I give the text for an article. By reading first, you can go slowly text: written words and learn new words gradually. I have a word list with the textgradually: step by step; little which gives simple English meanings for the most difficult words and by little; not suddenly phrases. By reading the article many times and using the word list, you learn most of the new vocabulary without stress. stress: worry Next, you listen and read at the same time. This teaches you the correct pronunciation of all words. It also starts to improve you listening skill in a low-stress way. audio: sound discussion: conversation The next step is an audio vocabulary discussion. I explain some of explain: teach the difficult words and phrases. You listen to these lessons many lessons: teachings; classes times- which helps you learn the new vocabulary more deeply. I deeply: thoroughly; comalways encourage students to relax, listen, and enjoy. pletely; totally Next are the mini-stories. The mini-story is, perhaps, the most mini: small; short; little important lesson. This lesson helps you get a strong understanding of perhaps: maybe the vocabulary, and how to use it. For the mini-story, I choose 8 to choose: pick 10 words from the article. I then make a little story using these words. re-tell: tell again; say again I tell the story three times. When I re-tell the story, I ask a lot of questions. I ask you to repeat the story after me, using the new vocabulary. I ask you to listen to the mini-story many times. original: first The final step is for you to listen to the original article many times. Now you can understand a lot of it. You put it on you iPod and listen to it during the day. You listen to it many times and learn vocabulary and grammar naturally. Each step in the system is important. By following all the steps, you learn English in a relaxed way. You improve your vocabulary, your listening, your grammar, and your speaking. You improve faster than students who use textbooks and normal schools. To really learn English like a native speaker, you need to use an input system. You need to use a system like the Effortless Way. You dont need to join Effortless English, but you do need to read and listen to real English. You need to do this a lot. Throw away your textbooks.

The article is interesting, and you realize you are actually enjoying English. On the way home, you listen to the article on your iPod. Sometimes you read and listen at the same time, sometimes you only listen. The article is short, so you listen to it 5 or 6 times. You understand more each time.
