Learn The 7 Rules For Excellent English
Day 1: How To Speak Fast

How are you doing today ? I'm writing because you asked for my email course
and you want to improve your English.
My name is A.J. Hoge. I am the creator of The Effortless English Teaching
System. I am also the Director and Founder of The Effortless English Club-
the most complete English speaking system for adult learners.
You have now joined over half a million subscribers from over 100 countries in
the world.
This email contains your first rule for speaking excellent English.
Thanks very much! I am studying English according to your method. I will
introduce your lessons to my friends!

+) Rule 1: 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 told her NOT to use "listen and repeat".
I told her to use "Listen & Answer" Mini-Story lessons.
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.... especially if you must answer fast!
After using listen & ANSWER Mini-Story lessons for just 4 months, her
speaking became fast, easy, and automatic.
Emi was excited. She wrote:
" The Mini-Story 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!"

Ps: Today’s homework
1. Listen to this email- 10 times while reading, 10 times without reading.
2. Ask your native speaker Tutor to create Listen & Respond stories
Ask them to record the stories
Listen to the stories every day.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 2: Never Study Grammar
How are you? Are you having a good day? I'm doing fine. Let's get started with
Day 2 of your email course.
"No word seems to be enough to explain to you my happiness when I received
these lessons."
+) 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.

2. Throw away your grammar books.
Really. I'm serious. Give them to someone else, or throw them in the trash!
Do it now. Today.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Day 3: The Number One Secret
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.
"I should definitely confess that your lessons helped me a lot in improving!"

+) 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!"
"I really want to thank you very much for the great method you have given to

I hope you are feeling good and are enjoying the 7 Rules Email Course. Here's
rule 4.
I want to thank YOU for the excellent work you are doing. I think your lessons
are fantastic!
+) Rule 4: A Story
Hyun, a student from Korea, said:
"I'm 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.
My English is now much improved because of you, and also my understanding

"I am glad to tell you that I have improved my English after listening to your
Effortless English Lessons. I think your Effortless English system is great."

+) 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.
Thanks A Lot. I Can't Believe I Found The Solution To My Problems. Thanks

Good luck with your English learning,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Day 6: The Best English Books, Audio, and Video

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.
"Your teaching is excellent! I´m very grateful to you. Thank you!"
+) 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


Day 7: Learn Vocab & Grammar At The Same Time

Today is the last rule! Remember, I promised to send you 7 rules for excellent
English speaking. Today is number 7
Today is the last Rule, and it is the easiest. This rule is a very simple way to
learn vocabulary and grammar at the same time-- easily and automatically.
"I'm so glad that I signed up for "Effortless English"! It really works! I was
afraid to talk in the past. Only a week later, I spoke to my English teacher! She
was amazed! I'm really improving my English and I'm happy with this fact!"
+) Your Last Rule
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. One easy thing to do
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. In fact, when you
learn phrases you learn both vocabulary and grammar-- easily and
automatically.
"I am so proud of you Mr Hoge!!!! You are an excellent teacher with power
and infectiousness ....you helped me improve my accent !!!!! Thank You For
All!!"
+) 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.


Listen to the audio AND read the email at the same time. Do this 5 times.
Listen only to the audio, without reading the email. Do this 5 times.
2. Make a Phrase Notebook.
Collect and Review Phrases Always. Never write only a single word, always
save the entire phrase or sentence. Always review the entire phrase or
sentence.
I've been working the way you suggested listening to the lessons. I have gained
more fluency when speaking and self-confidence. As a result, I was able to get
a job as an interpreter of the English Language. Thank you very much.

“How you Will Speak Excellent English In 6 Months
Or Less”
Dear Friend !
Do you feel embarrassed when you speak English? Is your pronunciation
bad? Do you make a lot of grammar mistakes when you speak?
Do people have trouble understanding you? Do they seem confused when
you speak English?
Is it difficult for you to understand native speakers? Do you feel frustrated
because you still can’t understand English speakers easily?
You have studied English for years. You read English well, but when its time
to speak– you feel nervous, foolish, embarrassed, and shy when speaking
English.
Is it possible that you will never speak English well?
Are you angry that you studied for years but still cannot speak English easily?
What is wrong? Have you wasted all of your study time? Have you wasted
all of your English vocabulary? Will you ever speak English easily?
Will you ever feel relaxed and happy when you speak English?

speaking was not good. Now I speak English fluently. I never translate. I speak
automatically, just like you said I would!”
Alain Andrade, France
Learn English Not Grammar Rules
Does English grammar make you feel sad, bored, and depressed?
What if I told you that grammar rules are not the key to speaking English
easily, correctly, and automatically?
The best English learners are children, of course. Why?
In fact, its because they don’t study grammar and they don’t learn from
textbooks. They use very specific methods and “rules” for learning.
I call these the 7 Rules of Effortless English, and you probably already know
them from my email course. I used these rules to create a powerful collection
of English lessons.
What if you could learn excellent pronunciation, a large vocabulary, and
automatic grammar– easily– would you be excited?
If I told you that English grammar is actually easy to learn when you use the
correct system, would you feel happier about learning English?
Well, its true. English grammar is easy, but only if you learn it correctly. And
the correct way is not studying grammar rules. You must use the Effortless
English method.
You must learn grammar intuitively. You must learn grammar
subconsciously. You must learn grammar naturally.
You must learn grammar easily and effortlessly- just like children.
“If you want to become like a native speaker, you don’t need to learn when you
are a child. You need to use the same methods as a child.”
Dr. J. Marvin Brown
