0:01 hi it's AJ and it's time for rule number
0:06 five now rule five is one of my
0:08 favorites you'll remember way back in
0:12 rule number two that I told you do not
0:16 study grammar rules I told you to get
0:19 rid of your grammar textbooks and some
0:21 of you are feeling stressed because all
0:24 your life you were told that grammar
0:26 grammar grammar is the key to English
0:30 now if it was the key to English you
0:33 probably would be speaking a lot better
0:34 now because I know you've already
0:36 studied a lot of grammar
0:38 rules now on the other hand grammar
0:41 itself is important of course we need
0:43 grammar of course we need to use grammar
0:45 correctly when we speak but you don't
0:48 learn it from studying grammar rules or
0:51 memorizing a bunch of rules in a
0:54 textbook instead rule number five is
0:57 this use point of view stories use point
1:02 of view stories that's rule number five
1:06 now a point of view story it's a method
1:08 it's a technique for learning English
1:12 grammar and specifically for learning
1:15 spoken English grammar because of course
1:18 we're talking about speaking here not
1:21 writing so use point of view stories to
1:25 learn English grammar don't use
1:28 textbooks don't study grammar rules
1:31 instead use point of view
1:34 stories now what is a point of view
1:36 story I know you're asking what is a
1:38 point of view story most people don't
1:40 know about this so here's here's a very
1:42 simple
1:44 explanation a point of view story or
1:47 stories actually it's a series of
1:50 stories point of view stories it's a
1:52 series of stories so basically what you
1:56 need to do is you get one basic story
1:59 told from a certain point of
2:02 view what that means is really it's told
2:05 about a certain time for example let's
2:08 say the
2:09 past so we would tell a
2:11 story about something that happened in
2:14 the past let me give you a very very
2:16 very simple example um there was a
2:20 dog he was very hungry so he ate a lot
2:26 of
2:27 food that's not much of a story but it's
2:30 just an example okay so you would listen
2:33 to this story in the past right 10 years
2:37 ago there was a dog he was very hungry
2:40 and he ate a lot of food and then of
2:43 course a real point of view story would
2:44 be much longer it would be more
2:46 interesting and funny and it would be a
2:48 little more complicated but just for our
2:50 example I'll use something very very
2:52 very very simple so you understand the
2:54 idea so the first thing is you listen to
2:57 this story from one point of view the
2:59 past
3:01 and of course as you're listening to
3:03 that you're learning the past tense
3:05 you're learning the verb forms that go
3:08 with the simple past but you don't need
3:11 to study in a textbook the simple past
3:14 you don't need to know that eight is an
3:17 irregular form of the verb you don't
3:20 need to know any of that all you need to
3:21 do is listen to the
3:23 story and as long as you understand that
3:26 the story is happening in the past you
3:28 will naturally
3:30 subconsciously and in fact effortlessly
3:33 learn the correct past tense verb
3:37 forms you don't need to memorize
3:39 anything you certainly don't need to
3:41 analyze any kind of rules or
3:44 textbooks now here's the next thing you
3:46 do with point of view stories next you
3:48 would listen to that same exact story
3:50 but now it would be told from the
3:53 present point of
3:55 view so you might listen to a story that
3:58 starts like this
4:00 there is a
4:03 dog and right now he's very
4:06 hungry so he eats a lot of
4:10 food now again this isn't a real story
4:12 but it gives you an example it's the
4:14 same basic structure right the same
4:16 basic story but now it's happening it's
4:19 happening now it's happening
4:21 today or it might happen every
4:24 day and so what you would do is then
4:26 you'd listen to that story of course a
4:28 real story would be long longer and more
4:30 complicated and more interesting and
4:31 more
4:32 funny but you get the idea and by
4:35 listening now to these two versions of
4:37 the story you would
4:39 learn the past and then you would learn
4:43 the present you wouldn't just learn the
4:45 verb forms you would just you would
4:48 learn the all of the structures you
4:49 would learn how we talk about the past
4:52 you would learn how we talk about the
4:54 present you would learn those important
4:57 little time phrases like right now today
5:01 10 years
5:02 ago cuz those little time phrases tell
5:05 you which verbs to
5:07 use and of course you could listen to
5:10 the same story again another version
5:12 maybe the next version would involve
5:14 both the present perfect and the present
5:18 or the present perfect and the past
5:20 again you don't need to know the present
5:22 perfect you don't need to know what that
5:23 means you don't need to analyze it you
5:25 don't need to remember it you would just
5:26 listen to the
5:28 story and as long as you understood the
5:31 meaning and the time you would learn the
5:33 present perfect correctly effortlessly
5:37 subconsciously it would go into your
5:38 brain without thinking and that's what
5:40 we want with speech there's no time to
5:44 think and remember a bunch of rules
5:47 there's no time to translate everything
5:50 hap happens very instantly immediately
5:52 automatically you need to think it in
5:55 English feel it in English understand it
5:59 instantly in English say it instantly in
6:02 English
6:04 correctly and you'll never learn that by
6:07 studying grammar rules will not happen
6:10 you will learn it through point of view
6:14 stories and of course we could tell the
6:16 same story again from a future point of
6:19 view you know we could imagine in the
6:21 future there will be a dog and he'll be
6:25 very hungry he will be very hungry and
6:27 he's going to eat a lot of food
6:30 GNA means going
6:32 to so you would listen to a whole long
6:34 story and then it's the same basic story
6:37 but now it's told about the future and
6:39 by listening to all the different
6:41 versions your brain would get a feeling
6:43 for how things change sometimes it's not
6:46 just the verb sometimes vocabulary
6:48 changes a little bit when we talk about
6:50 different time
6:52 periods and of course it's not just verb
6:54 forms we can use other grammar to focus
6:57 on with these kind of stories and making
6:59 these changes helps your brain
7:02 understand what's
7:03 happening without you having to think
7:06 about it and analyze it and memorize
7:08 like you're taking a test it all just
7:09 happens automatically by listening to
7:12 these simple funny interesting stories
7:15 and listening to all the different
7:16 versions that's how you learn spoken
7:20 English grammar that's how you learn to
7:23 use it instantly automatically
7:28 correctly this is is much more powerful
7:31 than studying some
7:33 book and the great thing is all you have
7:35 to do as the student as the learner all
7:39 you need to do is just listen to each
7:41 version of the story every
7:44 day that's all your job is just to
7:47 listen understand and enjoy the stories
7:51 you just need to concentrate and focus
7:52 so you can hear how things are
7:55 changing you don't need to remember any
7:57 grammar terms you don't need to remember
8:00 present perfect past perfect you know
8:02 future Progressive none of that matters
8:04 you can just forget all that it doesn't
8:05 matter all you have to do is understand
8:09 what the story is about understand the
8:10 meaning understand the point of view the
8:13 time that it's happening and then you
8:15 can compare the different versions of
8:16 the stories as you listen to each one
8:18 every day it's a really easy and fun way
8:23 to do
8:23 it and of course in my real point of
8:26 view
8:28 stories uh make the stories crazy and
8:31 funny and
8:32 entertaining and I make them strange
8:35 because it's easier to remember strange
8:36 and funny things than normal and boring
8:39 things so that's also
8:42 important so this is how you learn
8:45 grammar easily effortlessly
8:49 unconsciously automatically and this is
8:52 how you learn to get a feeling for
8:55 correctness it's that that feeling
8:57 inside that you know something sounds
8:59 right and something else sounds wrong
9:03 you have that in your own
9:04 language that's how you use correct
9:07 grammar in your own language when you're
9:10 speaking your own language you are not
9:12 constantly trying to remember a bunch of
9:14 grammar rules of course not but if you
9:17 hear something that's wrong in your
9:19 language grammatically wrong you know it
9:22 you kind of feel it right something in
9:24 your brain or something about it just
9:26 sounds wrong if someone says yesterday I
9:29 eat a
9:31 lot I I don't think oh well the the
9:34 correct form of the verb is eight and
9:37 it's irregular I don't think about that
9:40 just as a as a as a native English
9:43 speaker I just it just sounds wrong it
9:45 sounds strange to me I'm like uh right
9:47 my first reaction is deep inside it's
9:49 just kind of that's that's wrong I feel
9:53 it you know if I want to I can think
9:55 about it but that takes a lot of time
9:57 but the feeling happens instantly in
9:59 automa
10:00 ically that's what you need to
10:04 speak correctly and to use correct
10:07 spoken grammar when you're writing I
10:10 don't care what you do you can think as
10:11 much as you want and go as slowly as you
10:15 want but for speaking you got to be
10:19 instant fast immediate very important so
10:23 that's it when you learn with point of
10:25 view stories you will learn to use
10:27 grammar automatically and correctly
10:30 you will learn much faster you'll
10:32 improve your spoken English grammar much
10:34 much faster and you'll learn it like a
10:36 child and you'll actually have fun doing
10:39 it you will actually enjoy learning
10:42 grammar by listening to these stories
10:44 and and that's a big benefit too so rule
10:47 number five use point of view stories to
10:52 learn and master spoken English grammar
10:57 I will see you tomorrow for rule number
10:59 six have a great day
