Hi again :) It's me, your English teacher... with another rule!
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 speakers?
Nothing is wrong with you. Something is wrong with the schools
you went to, and the textbooks you used. English textbooks and
audio tapes are horrible.
You never learned REAL English.
You learned TEXTBOOK English.
**How 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. She did not speak like a teacher or a
CNN announcer.
I was totally confused. That's when I realized I needed to learn real English!"
**You Must Learn Real English
My lessons taught Megdelio real English-- the English we use
everyday in conversations, books, movies, TV shows, comic books,
audio books, articles, newspapers, magazines, and podcasts.
If you want to understand native speakers, you must stop learning
English from schools and textbooks.
To learn real English, you must listen to English that native
speakers listen to. You must watch what they watch. You must read
what they read.
Listen only to real English
Listen only to real English
Listen only to real English
Megdelio listened to my articles and my stories. No more textbook
English at schools.
After 6 months, he could speak easily. He could understand real
English from real native speakers.
**RULE 6: Only Use Real English Lessons & Materials
You learn real English if you want to understand native speakers
and speak easily. No textbooks.
Learn Real English, Not Textbook English
Learn Real English, Not Textbook English
**The Final Rule
In the next email, I will tell you the final rule. I'll teach you
how to speak 2-3 times faster.
Until then, have a great day and enjoy learning English!
Good luck,
