AJ Hoge _ 7 rules to speak English easily

Hy Guys..
Whats up??
I hope you are doing great because in this chance I would like to share special
secrets to improve our English. You wanna know?? Okay, here we are.

Do you know AJ Hoge? Or Have you ever heard AJ Hoge? Im sure some of you have
heard that name and the others not yet. Okay, before I tell you about AJ Hoge, Im
gonna tell you how can I get this. I got it from my English course in Pare and my
teacher gave some records about it. I listened to them for many times and finally I
decided to write it down in my blog. I hope it can help us to learn English easily.
Now, Im gonna tell you about him and what the lesson he teachs about. AJ Hoge is
an English teacher and he has master degree in teaching english. He lives in San
Fransisco, USA. He likes to enjoy travel, scuba diving, motorcycle riding, movies,
and learning Spanish.

He teachs about 7 rules to speak English faster and more easily.

Rule 1 : STOP STUDYING ENGLISH WORD

Yeah, dont memorize English singular/individual word, but memorize phrases.

Always study and review phrases. Phrase is a group of many words that has a
meaning. Its usually called as ideom and It will help you study English faster.

For example :
Below are some of simple ideoms for conversations. I got it when I was studying
Speak First in Daffodils, Pare.
As a matter of fact : Kenyataannya
Catch a cold : flu/ masuk angin
Every Jack must have his Jill : Setiap orang pasti ketemu jodohnya
Love me little, Love me long : Cintai aku selamanya

Heart to heart conversation : Curhat

I guess by studying phrases or ideoms, it will help us to study English faster
because native speaker doesnt speak word by word, but they speak using ideoms
and slanks. So, lets study together .

Rule 2 : STOP STUDYING GRAMMAR

There is a story from Angelina. She is a student from Paraguay. When she studied
with AJ Hoge, she couldnt speak in English. She had studied English grammar for
many years but she couldnt speak. She was surprised when she knew that AJ Hoge
never told about grammar rules. After only two weeks something amazing
happened. Her speaking improved!! Angelina is a great student and she learned
extrafast and she listened English for 5 hours a day. But AJ Hoge said that we can
improve our English by listen English for one hour a day and we can get same
result, but we must follow Rule 2, STOP STUDYING GRAMMAR! Grammar teachs us
to think about English, whereas we have to speak English automatically without
thinking. So, put away your grammar books and stop studying grammar right
now :D.

Rule 3 : LISTENING, LISTENING, AND LISTENING

There is a story from Omberto. He is from Venezuela and he moved to Canada few
years ago. He studied English in Venezuela for many years. In fact, Omberto studied
English by his eyes, by reading text book, by studying grammar book, and by
remembering words. He told his English was good but when he came to Canada, he
was surprised and shocked. He couldnt understand anyone. He joined English
school in Canada and he went to school everyday. There were more text books and
more grammar books. After twelve months in school, Omberto was angry and
frustrated. His school cost over ten thousand dollars for one year. But he still
couldnt speak English and he didnt know what to do. But now, he can speak engish
and he always speaks with Canadian. What rule?? Rule 3 is the most important rule.
Rule 3 is Listening, Listening, and Listening. Stop reading text book, and start
listening everyday. Learn with your ears, not with your eyes. You should listen one or
three hours everyday. This is powerful method. Try it!!

Rule 4 : LEARN DEEPLY, SPEAK EASILY

Hyun is a student from Korea said Im very serious student. When studying English
in Korea, I memorize 50.000 english words for a big test. My problem was I couldnt
use them. I can pass English test but I couldnt understand native speakers. Here
with AJ Hoge, I learn automatically use the vocabulary and after six months I could
speak English easily. I didnt need to think. Thank you so much.

And AJ Hoge said : Hyun learned a lot of words in a short time. Her learning was
short. Thats why she quickly forgot the words, thats why she couldnt use them.
The secret to speak easily is to learn every word and phrase deeply. Its not enough
to know a definition. Its not enough to remember for a test. You must put the words
deep into your brain. To speak English easily, you must repeat each lesson many
times. You must learn English deeply. Learn deeply, speak easily. How to learn
deeply? Easy!! Just repeat all lessons or listening many times. For example, if you
have audio book, listen to the first chapter 30 times before you go to second
chapter. You could listen to the first chapter three times a day for ten days. So, be
patient guys

Rule 5 : USE POINT OF VIEW MANY STORIES

In rule 2, AJ Hoge told us never to study grammar rules, but of course we want to
use English correct grammar. Maybe were thinking how can we learn English
grammar if we dont study English grammar rules? Well, in this rule 5, AJ Hoge will
tell us. He would teach us way to learn grammar naturally. Use this method and our
grammar will improve automatically. You will automatically use the correct verb
tense. You wont think, you wont try hard.

Story : Miyuki did very well in grammar test. She knew all the grammar rules. But
miyuki had a problem. She couldnt use the grammar in real conversation. She
could explain the past tense but when speaking she would say yesterday, I go to
school. Miyuki was confused. How can the grammar test was so good but her
speaking was so bad. But after using point of view stories, she feels it and uses it
correctly. Now, her grammar is great when she speak. She never think about it and
she just automatically use correct grammar. Thank you AJ Hoge.

AJ Hoge said : Miyuki learned this grammar naturally. She never studied grammar
rules. How did you do it? First, she listened to short story in the present tense. She
listened to it everyday. Then, she listened to the exact same story but this time is
when 10 years ago. She learned to feel the past tense by listening to the story.
Next, I gave her the exact same story. This time is happened with since 2004.
Miyuki learned to feel the perfect tenses by listening to this story. Finally, I gave her
the exact same story beginning with next year. She learned to feel the future tense
simply by listening to this story.

Rule 5, use point of view many stories. He called these stories point of view many
stories. Use point of view many stories for automatical grammar. You must learn
grammar by listening to real English. The best way is to listen to the same story in
different times. Point of view, past, perfect, present, future. How do you do this? Its
easy. Find the story in the present tense, then ask your native speaker to write it
again in the past with perfect tenses and in the future. Finally ask him to read and
record the story for you. Then, you can listen to the story many different kind of
grammar. You dont need to know the grammar rule. Just listen to the point of view
story and you will improve your grammar automatically. You can also find point of
view lessons and use them to learn grammar automatically. Its powerful, its
simple. Its successful. You will succeed if you use grammar naturally and
automatically. This is a secret to english grammar. How to learn real English.

Rule 6 : LEARN REAL ENGLISH, NOT TEXT BOOK

Magdeleo studied English for five years in Venezuela. Teacher said that he was a
good student. One day, he talked to American woman and everything changed. The
woman started talking and he couldnt understand her, not at all. Her pronunciation
was different with the text book. She used ideom, slank, and many casual phrases.
He was confused and he realized that he needed to learn real English.

AJ Hoge told Magdeleo to learn with real English materials. Learning English we use
everyday in conversations, books, movies, tv shows, komic books, audio books,
newspapers, magazines, radio talkshow and broadcasts. Stop learning text book
English. If you want to understand native speaker, you must stop learning English
from text book. To learn real English, you must listen to English that native speaker
listen to. You must watch what they watch. You must read what they read. Listen
only to real English.

Rule 7 : LISTEN AND ANSWER, NOT LISTEN AND REPEAT

Emy is Japanese woman had a problem. Her speaking was slow. She could not
answer question quickly. She listened and repeated what the speaker said. And AJ
Hoge recommended her to listen and answer many stories. He told that listen and
repeat is not enough, but listen and answer, you need to think. By using this
method, emy can improve her English. Use listen and answer many story lessons. In
the story, speaker told short simple story and he also asked a lot of easy questions.
Everytime you hear question, you post and answer. You learn to answer question
quickly without thinking. Your English becomes automatically. How can you use
listen and answer story? Easy. Find the native speaker, ask him to use this method,
ask him to tell you a story and give question about it. These would teach you to
think quickly in English. This is the last rule.

So guys, you got it?? Emm.. I think the rules are interesting but actually I have a
problem with native speaker because I have no friend from abroad, I mean there is
no native speaker for me. How can I ask them to help me improve my English.

must be a way to reach Rome!!
