How To Use The Lessons

Welcome to the system. To improve quickly, you must follow this method: One lesson set every day for at least a week. Deep learning is the key.

Overview

Each lesson "Set" has at least 4 different audio files. All lessons in a Set have the same name (e.g., "Secret Love"). These lessons go together.

Every day, you will listen to all the lessons in ONE lesson SET. You will listen to only one set for a week or more.

This is very important. You will only improve quickly if you follow this method. Do not switch lesson sets every day.

The Lesson Types

1. Text Article (PDF)

Read the article and review the wordlist. Do not "study" or memorize it. Just read it a couple of times each day. Use a dictionary only if necessary.

2. Vocabulary Lesson (MP3)

Just listen. Don't memorize. Listen to this 1–3 times each day for at least a week.

3. Mini-Story (MP3)

MOST IMPORTANT

The most powerful lesson. Listen and pause after each question. Answer loudly in English. Don't worry about mistakes.

4. Audio Article (MP3)

Just listen. Relax and enjoy it. Your goal is to understand 100% instantly and automatically.

Mini-Story Instructions

I will do three things:

  • 1 I make a statement. You say, "Ahhhh" or "Ohhhh".
  • 2 I ask a question you know. You answer with one or two words.
  • 3 I ask a question you don't know. Guess immediately.

The Golden Rule: Speed is your goal. You want short, fast answers. Don't worry about grammar mistakes. Shout your answers!

Learning Schedule

Study one lesson set for a week or more

Only one set. If you get bored, make it a game—try to answer faster.

Listen at least one hour every day

Two hours is best. You can divide your time (morning, commute, lunch, before bed).

Start with Level 1

Even if they seem easy, listen for a full week. You need the deep repetition for the grammar to become automatic.

Relax :)

Do not think about grammar rules. There is no pressure. Just listen and answer.
