Like most failed English speakers, Mary continued to make the same mistakes again and again and again.  She never learned.

 
One of her biggest mistakes was using textbooks.  
 
Most students use them.  Every English school uses textbooks.

Almost every English teacher uses them. 
 
Successful English speakers do not.

Jane stopped using English textbooks and focused only on real English.  
 
That's one big reason for her success.  
 
I want you to think about something today:  You have studied English for more than 4 years- 

why do you still have trouble understanding native speaker?   
 
You never learned REAL English. 

You learned TEXTBOOK English.  
"Your teaching is excellent! I´m very grateful to you. Thank you!"

**Megdelio Learns to Understand Native Speakers

Megdelio studied English for 5 years in Venezuela.  Teachers said he was an advanced student. 

When he came to the USA he felt good. He was excited to meet Americans. He was ready.  He wrote:


"One day I tried to talk to an American woman and everything changed.  The woman started talking-- and I couldn't understand her.  Not at all!


Her pronunciation was totally different than the textbook tapes and CDs I listened to.  She used idioms, slang, and many casual phrases.
 
I  was totally confused.  That's when I realized I needed to learn real English!"

**You Must Learn Real English


I taught Megdelio to learn with real English materials-- learning the English we use everyday in

conversations, books, movies, TV shows, comic books, audio books, articles, newspapers, magazines, and podcasts.

**Rule 6: Stop Learning Textbook English

If you want to understand real speakers, you must stop learning English from textbook tapes and CDs.  

That's what failures do.
 
Successful people who get their English dreams?
They Listen to real English.

     Listen only to real English
     Listen only to real English
     Listen only to real English


How do you learn Real English? It's easy.  Stop using textbooks.  Instead, listen to real English

movies, TV shows, audio books,  audio articles, stories, and talk radio shows.  Use real English materials. 

After 6 months of real English, Megdelio could speak more easily.  He could understand real

English from real native speakers.   You will too.


"I'm very glad to get Effortless English Lessons. I was probably like many of your students - good at tests but hopeless at speaking. I wish I had known your method earlier!"
--Barbara Sitko
