📚 Rule Seven: Listen and Answer Stories

AJ introduces the final rule for mastering English: using 'listen and answer stories' to achieve automatic and instant understanding and speech. This method encourages thinking in English without translating, which is crucial for fluent communication. Traditional learning methods are criticized for being outdated and ineffective, focusing on rote memorization and translation, which does not facilitate true language acquisition. Instead, AJ advocates for a dynamic approach where learners engage with stories that prompt immediate responses to questions, fostering real-time comprehension and usage of English.

🐶 The Power of Interactive Storytelling

This section delves into the interactive nature of 'listen and answer stories,' where the teacher poses questions to guide the narrative instead of simply telling it. This approach keeps learners engaged and promotes rapid-fire responses, which are essential for real-life conversations. The method is designed to be simple and fast, preventing the brain from defaulting to translation and instead encouraging immediate comprehension and response in English. AJ emphasizes the importance of using entertaining and unusual stories to capture attention and facilitate better memory retention, as the brain is more likely to remember unusual and humorous information.

10:03

🚀 Accelerating English Learning with Listen and Answer Stories

AJ explains how 'listen and answer stories' incorporate all the previously discussed rules, making them a comprehensive tool for English learning. These stories provide audio input, repetition for deep learning, exposure to real language use, and a variety of grammar structures. They also use engaging content to enhance memory and understanding. The speaker encourages learners to take action and change their学习方法 to achieve different results, suggesting that using his lessons, which are designed around these rules, can lead to significant improvements in English proficiency within four to six months.

15:04

🎓 Graduation and the Path Forward

In the concluding paragraph, AJ congratulates viewers on completing the seven rules video course and emphasizes the need for action to achieve better English proficiency. He suggests that continuing with old学习方法 will yield the same results, so a change is necessary for improvement. He offers his own lessons as a convenient way to start applying the rules immediately, promising significant progress within a few months. AJ also provides a guarantee, offering a refund or even a double refund if learners are not satisfied with the results after six months, showing confidence in the effectiveness of his teaching method.

play00:00

hi this is AJ and you made it

play00:04

rule number seven our final rule here it

play00:09

is rule seven is this use the listen and

play00:16

answer stories use listen and answer

play00:19

stories to speak very quickly to

play00:23

understand immediately and really to

play00:26

speak English automatically and when I

play00:30

see when I say speak English

play00:32

automatically what I mean is this I mean

play00:34

that you are thinking in English there's

play00:37

no translating happening you're not

play00:39

thinking about rules you're not trying

play00:42

to remember a bunch of vocabulary you're

play00:45

not translating from English to your

play00:47

language to understand and then from

play00:50

your language back to English when you

play00:52

need to speak some people learn to do

play00:55

that translating very quickly but even

play00:58

if you learn to do it quickly

play00:59

it's still not instant and automatic to

play01:04

truly speak like an American a Canadian

play01:07

and a British person to truly speak

play01:09

effortlessly you have to be thinking in

play01:12

English it's the only way to do it so

play01:17

how do you learn to do that you use

play01:19

listen and answer stories I saved it for

play01:22

last because this is the most powerful

play01:24

rule of all in my opinion they're all

play01:28

powerful you should use all of them but

play01:30

this one I feel is the most powerful so

play01:34

let's talk about what it is it's the key

play01:36

to faster English it's the key to more

play01:39

natural speaking it's the key to instant

play01:43

automatic understanding and speech so

play01:49

before I tell you what this is exactly

play01:52

let me talk about what happens in normal

play01:55

schools so in a normal school and using

play01:59

the old methods the old methods which

play02:01

are like 200 years old or older these

play02:05

are really old methods what do you do

play02:08

you learn with your eyes you sit on your

play02:10

butt in a chair and you want to teacher

play02:13

up

play02:14

from the class the teacher writes a

play02:16

bunch of rules and vocabulary and

play02:18

translations and you take notes and then

play02:20

you all look in the textbook and you do

play02:22

exercise number four page 78 blah blah

play02:27

blah you also do a lot of listening and

play02:32

repeating right

play02:34

the teacher might put on a CD or if the

play02:37

teacher can speak English themselves and

play02:39

many times they cannot but if they do

play02:42

know English somewhat they might say

play02:45

like an English phrase or sentence and

play02:48

then you repeat after them so the

play02:49

teacher says hello how are you and then

play02:53

says class repeat after me hello how are

play02:55

you and the whole class together says

play02:58

hello how are you I'm fine and you

play03:04

class repeat and the class says I'm fine

play03:07

and you listen and repeat that's how a

play03:12

lot of CDs out there it's the same thing

play03:14

right you hear in English phrase and

play03:16

then you repeat it here you repeat it

play03:18

here's the problem one of the problems

play03:21

with listen and repeat you can just turn

play03:25

your brain off when you do that you can

play03:28

repeat it you but you might not

play03:30

understand it you might not know what

play03:33

you're really saying you might be

play03:36

pronouncing it completely wrong but you

play03:40

just repeat repeat repeat your brain

play03:43

turns off you don't need to think in

play03:44

English at all

play03:45

you don't even need to understand what

play03:47

you're saying so it's not powerful it's

play03:50

not a good way to learn English and of

play03:54

course as we all know it's very boring

play03:56

so that's what happens in normal school

play03:59

regular school regular textbooks regular

play04:03

programs listen and answer stories are

play04:06

different it's a special kind of story

play04:09

designed to help you understand English

play04:13

instantly and then use it very quickly

play04:17

and this story is designed the way we do

play04:21

these stories they're created and

play04:24

designed to teach you to think in

play04:26

English

play04:28

understanding and speaking

play04:30

no more translation no more thinking

play04:33

about rules and we're thinking about

play04:34

anything it's just you understand

play04:37

instantly and when you want to say

play04:39

something it just pops out of your mouth

play04:40

automatically so how do we do this well

play04:45

what happens is the teacher asks a very

play04:48

interesting strange and funny story and

play04:53

then the student immediately and

play04:57

constantly answers a series of questions

play05:02

now you notice I said the teacher asks

play05:05

the story not tells the story what does

play05:10

that mean

play05:11

well it means instead of just telling a

play05:13

story there was a dog the dog was hungry

play05:16

he went to the store and he bought some

play05:19

cereal that's just telling a story fact

play05:23

fact fact fact and that's okay you know

play05:28

there's nothing wrong with that but this

play05:30

method is much more powerful so instead

play05:32

of doing that the teacher would say what

play05:37

was there of course you have no idea but

play05:41

you would just guess a person the boy a

play05:43

dog a man and then the teacher would say

play05:46

ah there was a dog and then the teacher

play05:50

would say what did the dog want again

play05:56

you don't really know so you would say

play05:57

ah you know to go to the park to go to

play06:00

school to swim and then eventually a

play06:02

teacher would give you the answer the

play06:05

dog wanted to eat then the teacher would

play06:08

ask a lot a lot a lot of very simple but

play06:11

fast easy questions about information

play06:16

you already know in the story the

play06:18

teacher would say what was there and you

play06:21

would say a dog you'd answer very

play06:22

quickly and instantly what did the what

play06:24

did the dog want to eat did it all want

play06:27

to sleep or did the dog want to eat to

play06:30

eat who wanted to eat the dog and if

play06:35

this would go on and on and on very fast

play06:38

lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

play06:40

of questions

play06:41

sometimes the teacher order add new

play06:43

information with these questions you

play06:45

just guess and then a lot of times the

play06:48

teachers asking lots of different kinds

play06:51

of questions about information you

play06:52

already know and that's how the teacher

play06:55

asks the story instead of telling the

play06:59

story now you as the learner you as the

play07:02

student are constantly hearing these

play07:05

questions and answering as fast as you

play07:09

can it's like a game so you hear the you

play07:12

hear it and you try to instantly answer

play07:14

it now the questions are very very

play07:17

simple and easy and that is by design

play07:21

right we want them as the teachers we

play07:24

want the questions to be simple and easy

play07:25

see if we ask you a bunch of difficult

play07:27

questions you're going to pause you're

play07:31

going to stop you'll start thinking you

play07:33

might have time to translate but by

play07:35

answering you very fast simple easy

play07:39

questions they're so easy that you don't

play07:42

need to think you don't need to

play07:43

translate instead you understand them

play07:46

very quickly and then you answer very

play07:48

fast and this is how the training starts

play07:50

you see so you start learning to

play07:53

understand faster understand faster

play07:54

understand instantly without any kind of

play07:56

translating and by trying to answer

play07:58

faster faster faster with just a one

play08:00

word or two words your training your

play08:03

brain to respond in English faster and

play08:06

faster and faster and faster so your

play08:09

understanding faster you're answering

play08:10

faster and this is how real

play08:12

conversations happen right there's a lot

play08:15

of back-and-forth one person speaks than

play08:17

the other one and the other one than the

play08:18

other one someone asked a question you

play08:20

need to understand it immediately and

play08:23

then you need to understand I mean to

play08:25

respond to it and answer it very quickly

play08:27

and immediately there's no time for

play08:30

translating in real conversations so

play08:33

this is an amazing way to train you to

play08:36

speak English quickly easily and

play08:39

automatically it's so powerful now

play08:43

here's the other nice thing about these

play08:45

stories in my lessons in my stories

play08:48

might listen and answer stories I always

play08:51

do kind of crazy strange and funny story

play08:55

usually the characters are little

play08:57

strange animals or celebrities and it's

play09:00

very strange and interesting situations

play09:02

and they're entertaining they're funny

play09:03

and I do that for two reasons number one

play09:07

I want you to enjoy learning English so

play09:09

that's nice

play09:10

but the other reason is that your brain

play09:14

the way your brain works is that it

play09:17

understands and remembers strange

play09:20

information quicker and longer than

play09:26

normal boring information right if you

play09:30

meet somebody if they have a strange

play09:32

name you probably will remember their

play09:35

name more easily than if they just have

play09:38

a normal average name that a lot of

play09:39

people have right our brains

play09:42

pay attention to strange things to funny

play09:45

things to different things that's what

play09:48

we remember better and so if you're

play09:51

listening to a strange and funny story

play09:52

if it has new vocabulary you will

play09:56

remember that vocabulary more easily if

play10:00

you're just reading some TOEFL book you

play10:02

know super boring you're not going to

play10:05

remember that same vocabulary word as

play10:07

easily but if you hear that word in a

play10:09

strange funny interesting story with

play10:11

strange events and crazy characters you

play10:16

will more likely remember that new

play10:18

vocabulary word because it's funny

play10:21

because it's strange and of course I'm

play10:24

going to be asking so many questions

play10:25

using that new vocabulary again and

play10:28

again and again using that grammar again

play10:30

and again and again and again and again

play10:31

you get so much repetition from these

play10:34

questions that it goes deep it's deep

play10:36

learning so for all of these reasons

play10:40

listen and answer stories are the most

play10:43

powerful way to improve your English

play10:46

speaking the most powerful because in

play10:50

many ways these stories use all the

play10:52

other rules right you're listening with

play10:55

your ears your to these stories their

play10:57

audio stories you're getting lots and

play10:59

lots of repetition and deep learning

play11:01

you're hearing phrases and whole

play11:03

sentences and it's real material it's a

play11:06

it's a real story it's not some fake

play11:08

boring textbook thing you're hearing

play11:12

lots of different kinds of grammar I

play11:13

mean this is so powerful these kinds of

play11:15

stories and that's why rule number seven

play11:18

the final rule use listen and answer

play11:22

stories to speak English quickly and

play11:27

easily and automatically to actually

play11:30

learn to think in English and that's it

play11:35

you did it you have graduated from the

play11:37

seven rules video and email course

play11:40

congratulations now it's time to take

play11:44

action if you want to get a different

play11:47

result you have to do things differently

play11:51

play11:53

methods if you continue doing the same

play11:55

play11:58

result that you're getting right now if

play12:01
