Effortless English Rule 7 Powerful English Speaking Stories

00:00

hi this is AJ and you made it

00:04

rule number seven our final rule here it

00:09

is rule seven is this use the listen and

00:16

answer stories use listen and answer

00:19

stories to speak very quickly to

00:23

understand immediately and really to

00:26

speak English automatically and when I

00:30

see when I say speak English

00:32

automatically what I mean is this I mean

00:34

that you are thinking in English there's

00:37

no translating happening you're not

00:39

thinking about rules you're not trying

00:42

to remember a bunch of vocabulary you're

00:45

not translating from English to your

00:47

language to understand and then from

00:50

your language back to English when you

00:52

need to speak some people learn to do

00:55

that translating very quickly but even

00:58

if you learn to do it quickly

00:59

it's still not instant and automatic to

01:04

truly speak like an American a Canadian

01:07

and a British person to truly speak

01:09

effortlessly you have to be thinking in

01:12

English it's the only way to do it so

01:17

how do you learn to do that you use

01:19

listen and answer stories I saved it for

01:22

last because this is the most powerful

01:24

rule of all in my opinion they're all

01:28

powerful you should use all of them but

01:30

this one I feel is the most powerful so

01:34

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

01:36

to faster English it's the key to more

01:39

natural speaking it's the key to instant

01:43

automatic understanding and speech so

01:49

before I tell you what this is exactly

01:52

let me talk about what happens in normal

01:55

schools so in a normal school and using

01:59

the old methods the old methods which

02:01

are like 200 years old or older these

02:05

are really old methods what do you do

02:08

you learn with your eyes you sit on your

02:10

butt in a chair and you want to teacher

02:13

up

02:14

from the class the teacher writes a

02:16

bunch of rules and vocabulary and

02:18

translations and you take notes and then

02:20

you all look in the textbook and you do

02:22

exercise number four page 78 blah blah

02:27

blah you also do a lot of listening and

02:32

repeating right

02:34

the teacher might put on a CD or if the

02:37

teacher can speak English themselves and

02:39

many times they cannot but if they do

02:42

know English somewhat they might say

02:45

like an English phrase or sentence and

02:48

then you repeat after them so the

02:49

teacher says hello how are you and then

02:53

says class repeat after me hello how are

02:55

you and the whole class together says

02:58

hello how are you I'm fine and you

03:04

class repeat and the class says I'm fine

03:07

and you listen and repeat that's how a

03:12

lot of CDs out there it's the same thing

03:14

right you hear in English phrase and

03:16

then you repeat it here you repeat it

03:18

here's the problem one of the problems

03:21

with listen and repeat you can just turn

03:25

your brain off when you do that you can

03:28

repeat it you but you might not

03:30

understand it you might not know what

03:33

you're really saying you might be

03:36

pronouncing it completely wrong but you

03:40

just repeat repeat repeat your brain

03:43

turns off you don't need to think in

03:44

English at all

03:45

you don't even need to understand what

03:47

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

03:50

not a good way to learn English and of

03:54

course as we all know it's very boring

03:56

so that's what happens in normal school

03:59

regular school regular textbooks regular

04:03

programs listen and answer stories are

04:06

different it's a special kind of story

04:09

designed to help you understand English

04:13

instantly and then use it very quickly

04:17

and this story is designed the way we do

04:21

these stories they're created and

04:24

designed to teach you to think in

04:26

English

04:28

understanding and speaking

04:30

no more translation no more thinking

04:33

about rules and we're thinking about

04:34

anything it's just you understand

04:37

instantly and when you want to say

04:39

something it just pops out of your mouth

04:40

automatically so how do we do this well

04:45

what happens is the teacher asks a very

04:48

interesting strange and funny story and

04:53

then the student immediately and

04:57

constantly answers a series of questions

05:02

now you notice I said the teacher asks

05:05

the story not tells the story what does

05:10

that mean

05:11

well it means instead of just telling a

05:13

story there was a dog the dog was hungry

05:16

he went to the store and he bought some

05:19

cereal that's just telling a story fact

05:23

fact fact fact and that's okay you know

05:28

there's nothing wrong with that but this

05:30

method is much more powerful so instead

05:32

of doing that the teacher would say what

05:37

was there of course you have no idea but

05:41

you would just guess a person the boy a

05:43

dog a man and then the teacher would say

05:46

ah there was a dog and then the teacher

05:50

would say what did the dog want again

05:56

you don't really know so you would say

05:57

ah you know to go to the park to go to

06:00

school to swim and then eventually a

06:02

teacher would give you the answer the

06:05

dog wanted to eat then the teacher would

06:08

ask a lot a lot a lot of very simple but

06:11

fast easy questions about information

06:16

you already know in the story the

06:18

teacher would say what was there and you

06:21

would say a dog you'd answer very

06:22

quickly and instantly what did the what

06:24

did the dog want to eat did it all want

06:27

to sleep or did the dog want to eat to

06:30

eat who wanted to eat the dog and if

06:35

this would go on and on and on very fast

06:38

lots and lots and lots and lots and lots

06:40

of questions

06:41

sometimes the teacher order add new

06:43

information with these questions you

06:45

just guess and then a lot of times the

06:48

teachers asking lots of different kinds

06:51

of questions about information you

06:52

already know and that's how the teacher

06:55

asks the story instead of telling the

06:59

story now you as the learner you as the

07:02

student are constantly hearing these

07:05

questions and answering as fast as you

07:09

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

07:12

hear it and you try to instantly answer

07:14

it now the questions are very very

07:17

simple and easy and that is by design

07:21

right we want them as the teachers we

07:24

want the questions to be simple and easy

07:25

see if we ask you a bunch of difficult

07:27

questions you're going to pause you're

07:31

going to stop you'll start thinking you

07:33

might have time to translate but by

07:35

answering you very fast simple easy

07:39

questions they're so easy that you don't

07:42

need to think you don't need to

07:43

translate instead you understand them

07:46

very quickly and then you answer very

07:48

fast and this is how the training starts

07:50

you see so you start learning to

07:53

understand faster understand faster

07:54

understand instantly without any kind of

07:56

translating and by trying to answer

07:58

faster faster faster with just a one

08:00

word or two words your training your

08:03

brain to respond in English faster and

08:06

faster and faster and faster so your

08:09

understanding faster you're answering

08:10

faster and this is how real

08:12

conversations happen right there's a lot

08:15

of back-and-forth one person speaks than

08:17

the other one and the other one than the

08:18

other one someone asked a question you

08:20

need to understand it immediately and

08:23

then you need to understand I mean to

08:25

respond to it and answer it very quickly

08:27

and immediately there's no time for

08:30

translating in real conversations so

08:33

this is an amazing way to train you to

08:36

speak English quickly easily and

08:39

automatically it's so powerful now

08:43

here's the other nice thing about these

08:45

stories in my lessons in my stories

08:48

might listen and answer stories I always

08:51

do kind of crazy strange and funny story

08:55

usually the characters are little

08:57

strange animals or celebrities and it's

09:00

very strange and interesting situations

09:02

and they're entertaining they're funny

09:03

and I do that for two reasons number one

09:07

I want you to enjoy learning English so

09:09

that's nice

09:10

but the other reason is that your brain

09:14

the way your brain works is that it

09:17

understands and remembers strange

09:20

information quicker and longer than

09:26

normal boring information right if you

09:30

meet somebody if they have a strange

09:32

name you probably will remember their

09:35

name more easily than if they just have

09:38

a normal average name that a lot of

09:39

people have right our brains

09:42

pay attention to strange things to funny

09:45

things to different things that's what

09:48

we remember better and so if you're

09:51

listening to a strange and funny story

09:52

if it has new vocabulary you will

09:56

remember that vocabulary more easily if

10:00

you're just reading some TOEFL book you

10:02

know super boring you're not going to

10:05

remember that same vocabulary word as

10:07

easily but if you hear that word in a

10:09

strange funny interesting story with

10:11

strange events and crazy characters you

10:16

will more likely remember that new

10:18

vocabulary word because it's funny

10:21

because it's strange and of course I'm

10:24

going to be asking so many questions

10:25

using that new vocabulary again and

10:28

again and again using that grammar again

10:30

and again and again and again and again

10:31

you get so much repetition from these

10:34

questions that it goes deep it's deep

10:36

learning so for all of these reasons

10:40

listen and answer stories are the most

10:43

powerful way to improve your English

10:46

speaking the most powerful because in

10:50

many ways these stories use all the

10:52

other rules right you're listening with

10:55

your ears your to these stories their

10:57

audio stories you're getting lots and

10:59

lots of repetition and deep learning

11:01

you're hearing phrases and whole

11:03

sentences and it's real material it's a

11:06

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

11:08

boring textbook thing you're hearing

11:12

lots of different kinds of grammar I

11:13

mean this is so powerful these kinds of

11:15

stories and that's why rule number seven

11:18

the final rule use listen and answer

11:22

stories to speak English quickly and

11:27

easily and automatically to actually

11:30

learn to think in English and that's it

11:35

you did it you have graduated from the

11:37

seven rules video and email course

11:40

congratulations now it's time to take

11:44

action if you want to get a different

11:47

result you have to do things differently

11:51

if you continue using the same old

11:53

methods if you continue doing the same

11:55

old thing you will continue getting the

11:58

result that you're getting right now if

12:01

you're happy with that result

12:03

great continue doing what you were doing

12:05

in the past it's fine if you're not

12:07

happy with your current level of English

12:10

speaking then clearly you need to do

12:14

something differently because using

12:17

those old methods will just continue to

12:20
