Effortless English Rule 7 Powerful English Speaking Stories

hi this is AJ and you made it
rule number seven our final rule here it
is rule seven is this use the listen and
answer stories use listen and answer
stories to speak very quickly to
understand immediately and really to
speak English automatically and when I
see when I say speak English
automatically what I mean is this I mean
that you are thinking in English there's
no translating happening you're not
thinking about rules you're not trying
to remember a bunch of vocabulary you're
not translating from English to your
language to understand and then from
your language back to English when you
need to speak some people learn to do
that translating very quickly but even
if you learn to do it quickly
it's still not instant and automatic to
truly speak like an American a Canadian
and a British person to truly speak
effortlessly you have to be thinking in
English it's the only way to do it so
how do you learn to do that you use
listen and answer stories I saved it for
last because this is the most powerful
rule of all in my opinion they're all
powerful you should use all of them but
this one I feel is the most powerful so
let's talk about what it is it's the key
to faster English it's the key to more
natural speaking it's the key to instant
automatic understanding and speech so
before I tell you what this is exactly
let me talk about what happens in normal
schools so in a normal school and using
the old methods the old methods which
are like 200 years old or older these
are really old methods what do you do
you learn with your eyes you sit on your
butt in a chair and you want to teacher
up
from the class the teacher writes a
bunch of rules and vocabulary and
translations and you take notes and then
you all look in the textbook and you do
exercise number four page 78 blah blah
blah you also do a lot of listening and
repeating right
the teacher might put on a CD or if the
teacher can speak English themselves and
many times they cannot but if they do
know English somewhat they might say
like an English phrase or sentence and
then you repeat after them so the
teacher says hello how are you and then
says class repeat after me hello how are
you and the whole class together says
hello how are you I'm fine and you
class repeat and the class says I'm fine
and you listen and repeat that's how a
lot of CDs out there it's the same thing
right you hear in English phrase and
then you repeat it here you repeat it
here's the problem one of the problems
with listen and repeat you can just turn
your brain off when you do that you can
repeat it you but you might not
understand it you might not know what
you're really saying you might be
pronouncing it completely wrong but you
just repeat repeat repeat your brain
turns off you don't need to think in
English at all
you don't even need to understand what
you're saying so it's not powerful it's
not a good way to learn English and of
course as we all know it's very boring
so that's what happens in normal school
regular school regular textbooks regular
programs listen and answer stories are
different it's a special kind of story
designed to help you understand English
instantly and then use it very quickly
and this story is designed the way we do
these stories they're created and
designed to teach you to think in
English
understanding and speaking
no more translation no more thinking
about rules and we're thinking about
anything it's just you understand
instantly and when you want to say
something it just pops out of your mouth
automatically so how do we do this well
what happens is the teacher asks a very
interesting strange and funny story and
then the student immediately and
constantly answers a series of questions
now you notice I said the teacher asks
the story not tells the story what does
that mean
well it means instead of just telling a
story there was a dog the dog was hungry
he went to the store and he bought some
cereal that's just telling a story fact
fact fact fact and that's okay you know
there's nothing wrong with that but this
method is much more powerful so instead
of doing that the teacher would say what
was there of course you have no idea but
you would just guess a person the boy a
dog a man and then the teacher would say
ah there was a dog and then the teacher
would say what did the dog want again
you don't really know so you would say
ah you know to go to the park to go to
school to swim and then eventually a
teacher would give you the answer the
dog wanted to eat then the teacher would
ask a lot a lot a lot of very simple but
fast easy questions about information
you already know in the story the
teacher would say what was there and you
would say a dog you'd answer very
quickly and instantly what did the what
did the dog want to eat did it all want
to sleep or did the dog want to eat to
eat who wanted to eat the dog and if
this would go on and on and on very fast
lots and lots and lots and lots and lots
of questions
sometimes the teacher order add new
information with these questions you
just guess and then a lot of times the
teachers asking lots of different kinds
of questions about information you
already know and that's how the teacher
asks the story instead of telling the
story now you as the learner you as the
student are constantly hearing these
questions and answering as fast as you
can it's like a game so you hear the you
hear it and you try to instantly answer
it now the questions are very very
simple and easy and that is by design
right we want them as the teachers we
want the questions to be simple and easy
see if we ask you a bunch of difficult
questions you're going to pause you're
going to stop you'll start thinking you
might have time to translate but by
answering you very fast simple easy
questions they're so easy that you don't
need to think you don't need to
translate instead you understand them
very quickly and then you answer very
fast and this is how the training starts
you see so you start learning to
understand faster understand faster
understand instantly without any kind of
translating and by trying to answer
faster faster faster with just a one
word or two words your training your
brain to respond in English faster and
faster and faster and faster so your
understanding faster you're answering
faster and this is how real
conversations happen right there's a lot
of back-and-forth one person speaks than
the other one and the other one than the
other one someone asked a question you
need to understand it immediately and
then you need to understand I mean to
respond to it and answer it very quickly
and immediately there's no time for
translating in real conversations so
this is an amazing way to train you to
speak English quickly easily and
automatically it's so powerful now
here's the other nice thing about these
stories in my lessons in my stories
might listen and answer stories I always
do kind of crazy strange and funny story
usually the characters are little
strange animals or celebrities and it's
very strange and interesting situations
and they're entertaining they're funny
and I do that for two reasons number one
I want you to enjoy learning English so
that's nice
but the other reason is that your brain
the way your brain works is that it
understands and remembers strange
information quicker and longer than
normal boring information right if you
meet somebody if they have a strange
name you probably will remember their
name more easily than if they just have
a normal average name that a lot of
people have right our brains
pay attention to strange things to funny
things to different things that's what
we remember better and so if you're
listening to a strange and funny story
if it has new vocabulary you will
remember that vocabulary more easily if
you're just reading some TOEFL book you
know super boring you're not going to
remember that same vocabulary word as
easily but if you hear that word in a
strange funny interesting story with
strange events and crazy characters you
will more likely remember that new
vocabulary word because it's funny
because it's strange and of course I'm
going to be asking so many questions
using that new vocabulary again and
again and again using that grammar again
and again and again and again and again
you get so much repetition from these
questions that it goes deep it's deep
learning so for all of these reasons
listen and answer stories are the most
powerful way to improve your English
speaking the most powerful because in
many ways these stories use all the
other rules right you're listening with
your ears your to these stories their
audio stories you're getting lots and
lots of repetition and deep learning
you're hearing phrases and whole
sentences and it's real material it's a
it's a real story it's not some fake
boring textbook thing you're hearing
lots of different kinds of grammar I
mean this is so powerful these kinds of
stories and that's why rule number seven
the final rule use listen and answer
stories to speak English quickly and
easily and automatically to actually
learn to think in English and that's it
you did it you have graduated from the
seven rules video and email course
congratulations now it's time to take
action if you want to get a different
result you have to do things differently
if you continue using the same old
methods if you continue doing the same
old thing you will continue getting the
result that you're getting right now if
you're happy with that result
great continue doing what you were doing
in the past it's fine if you're not
happy with your current level of English
speaking then clearly you need to do
something differently because using
those old methods will just continue to
get you the same old result I mean we
all know this it's just obvious is
logical if you want a different result
you have to do something differently so
you need to take action now and you need
to do something differently you need to
use all seven of these rules totally and
completely change the way you learn
English speaking and when you do that
you will get a totally different result
