Rule 6 Use Only Real English Materials

Hi again.

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!” –Milan Hodac, Czech Republic

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.

“I’m very glad to get Effortless English Lessons. I was probably like many of your students - good at tests but hopeless at speaking. I wish I had known your method earlier!” –Barbara Sitko

Ana Rodriguez wrote: “I’m finally enjoying English! I’m finally talking to Americans! Thank You!”


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 rule, I’ll teach you how to speak 2-3 times faster.
Until then, have a great day and enjoy learning English!

Rule 5 Use Point of View Stories

How are you today? Are you having a great day? I’m doing well.

Today I’m back to explain Rule 5.

With Rule 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.

“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.” –Aleister Yu, Singapore

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 From The Bottom Of My Heart! –Eman Awad


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 story 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.
“Hi AJ. I want to tell you that I really really benefited from Effortless English. Everyday I meet my American teacher and I can really communicate with him. I really don’t know how to thank you!!!!” –Shimo Abbas

I guarantee you will succeed. Don’t quit. You can do it. Have a great day!

Rule 4 Learn Deeply

I hope you are feeling good and are enjoying the 7 Rules of Effortless English. Here’s rule 4.

Fantastic! “I want to thank YOU for the excellent work you are doing. I think your lessons are fantastic!” Isa Jata, Albania

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 English 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.

Understanding Native Speakers “My English is now much improved because of you, and also my understanding of native speakers is much better than before. So I would like to say thank you very very much!!” Mao Sokha

Great! “I downloaded many English lessons and everyday I listen to them 1 hour a day. In short -THEY’RE GREAT!” Mona Hassan, Palestine

Rule 3 Learn With Your Ears, Not Your Eyes

Today is the most important rule.Most schools ignore it.

“I should definitely confess that your lessons helped me a lot in improving!” Toussaint Zondi, France

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 me. It works very well. Since I have started, I have made a huge improvement, as it becomes easy for me to write this kind of email without thinking or translating. I work about one hour each day by listening to your lessons again and again through my mp3 device. Its simple but really terrific.” Frederic Achour, France

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.

“I bought your English lessons a month ago. They are reallyexcellent and not only me but all my family enjoys them (wife & kids). My English is improving very quickly! I keep persuading all my friends to get the lessons.” Marek Wojtaszec, Poland

“Hi AJ, Ever since I joined the 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!” Hiroshi Ichikawa, Japan


Good luck. I know you can do it.
Have a great day,

Rule 2 Never Study Grammar Rules

How are you? Let’s get started the second rule of Effortless English


“No word seems to be enough to explain to you my happiness when I received these lessons.” Antoine Jean Penel, France

“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.

“I began Effortless English 5 months ago. I work with General Electric as a contractor. Well, I went to Atlanta, GA, USA last November (a whole month!) for training purposes. I was very surprised because I realized that the method works. I felt confident and relaxed all the time. During the meetings I could understand 90% of the conversation. When I spoke, the words came out automatically.” Vicente Gonzalez, Mexico

“Before I knew you I looked for a lot programs and courses to improve my English, especially in speaking, but they didn’t work. It was a waste of time and money. From now I am insisting on your lessons and am getting better!” Ha Nguyen, Vietnam


RULE 2: Don’t Study Grammar

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.


Have a great day and continue to improve your English,

To do this, you must change the way you study English. Your first action is to stop studying English words. What?

RULE 1: Study 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.

Rule For English Learning Success

Hi all,

I would like to share a new method for learning, how to speak English faster and more easily,

1. Never Study A Single English Word
That’s right, do not memorize words. Native speakers do not learn English by remembering single words. Native speakers learn phrases.

2. Never Study 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!

3. Learn With Your Ears, Not Your Eyes
Spend most of your study time listening- that is the key to great speaking.

4. Slow, Deep Learning Is Best
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.

5. Use Point Of View Mini-Stories
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.

6. Only Use Real English Lessons & Materials
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.

7. Listen and Answer Mini-Stories (not Listen and Repeat)
Because the teacher constantly and quickly asks easy questions, you don’t have time to think about grammar. You just immediately shout a couple of words– which teaches you to respond faster, and faster, and faster.
