  • of Easy English

  • Seven Day

  • Course.

  • Thank you

  • so much for being here.

  • I believe

  • here

  • because

  • deep

  • passion for

  • learning english.

  • You want to you

  • get a better job,

  • you want to

  • not be embarrassed

  • when you try to speak english

  • uh... with your friends

  • or you want to

  • pass

  • standardized tests.

  • Like the TOEFL test.

  • Well, I

  • promise

  • to help you with that.

  • My goal

  • is to

  • help you learn english

  • quickly

  • easily

  • and while having a great time.

  • But, before we get going

  • you may be asking:

  • Why do I care

  • about this

  • Easy English

  • Seven Day Course?

  • Why do I care about your method?

  • What's

  • in it for me?

  • You may wonder,

  • what's

  • in it for me?

  • That's a good question

  • and it's a fair question.

  • Here at

  • letsdoenglish

  • we have studied

  • many different ways of teaching english.

  • We've studied

  • textbooks,

  • grammar based

  • teaching methods,

  • we've taught one on one

  • with students.

  • We've studied

  • many books,

  • many methods,

  • talked to scientists and authors and

  • we feel that we have found

  • the best

  • techniques

  • for you

  • to learn english

  • quickly,

  • easily,

  • and while having fun.

  • My goal

  • is to help you become

  • as fluent as possible

  • within

  • six months of today.

  • If you follow

  • these techniques

  • you will learn english, quickly

  • easily

  • and you know what? We're going to have a great time.

  • Rule number one

  • is

  • never study

  • grammar.

  • Don't study textbooks

  • and don't study grammar.

  • Let me ask you a question

  • you've studied

  • english

  • for years

  • already.

  • You've taken classes

  • you've followed textbooks

  • you've gone to school

  • and tryed to learn english

  • so why aren't you fluent

  • already?

  • Here's the reason.

  • The reason why

  • you are not already fluent

  • in english

  • is because you've been studying

  • grammar.

  • So today's rule is

  • never study grammar.

  • Well, you may ask

  • if i don't study grammar

  • then what do I study?

  • How do I learn english?

  • Instead of studying grammar,

  • You listen

  • to conversations.

  • You have to

  • listen

  • too many many

  • conversations.

  • Now, this may sound too easy and

  • like it's not hard enough

  • but I could show you

  • the science

  • behind

  • these techniques.

  • For instance,

  • many books have been written

  • about these

  • various the the specific technique.

  • For instance,

  • this book

  • this book, "The Natural Approach"

  • by doctor Steven Crashen,

  • is incredible.

  • He talks about how to acquire language by just listening to conversations.

  • This book,

  • "The Way of the Linguists"

  • talks about this as well.

  • Many other books here. "Fluency through TPR storytelling.

  • The list goes on and on.

  • At LetsDoEnglish,

  • we don't teach using grammar.

  • We teach

  • through english

  • conversation

  • and storytelling

  • and as you listen to stories

  • you pick up

  • the english language

  • you don't have to try so hard.

  • You just listen

  • and you learn.

  • So, what are some ways

  • that you can listen to english conversations?

  • Well, we have materials available that

  • teach you english through conversation.

  • You can also listen to

  • audio books on tape

  • with your ipod and

  • headphones.

  • You can also listen to

  • english speakers,

  • but you will want them to speak

  • slowly.

  • We'll talk about that later.

  • But today's rule, Rule Number #1 is:

  • Never Study

  • Grammar.

  • Instead

  • listen

  • to english conversations.

  • Okay. I need

  • you're help.

  • I need you

  • to tell me

  • if you understand what I'm saying.

  • I need you to

  • tell me if i'm speaking

  • too quickly

  • or if i'm speaking

  • too slowly.

  • If this is too easy for you.

  • Each day of this course

  • there will be a survey with

  • the email

  • if you will answer the questions on that survey everyday

  • for the seven days of the course

  • I will send you

  • a very valuable

  • free gift.

  • I will send you a

  • section from our teaching tales

  • the product that we sell.
