traditional way of

go very, very, very fast, right?
Theres a lot of pressure to keep
going and learning more, more,
more, more, because you have
to finish the textbook. Every
teacher feels some pressure to
finish the textbook in the cor-
rect time, right? We have to fin-
ish the textbook this year, so
next year we can do the next
textbook. Weve gotta finish
book number one. Weve gotta
do it quickly so that next year
we can do book two. It would
be terrible not to finish book
number one this year.
Thats the idea that they have
and its totally crazy and wrong.

months its not pos-

adding more and
more and more and
more and, of course,
all the vocabulary lists. More
and more and more, every week
another huge list of words to
memorize and theres all this
pressure to go faster, faster,
faster.
So, what happens of course?
You study all this stuff for the
test. You memorize it. You mem-
orize it. You take the test.
Maybe you get a good grade,
maybe you dont. Then after the
test you forget a lot of it, right,
because you never learned it
deeply. You just memorized it
short term and then you forget
a lot of it. Or maybe you re-
member it, but you cant use it.

So, heres what happens. Every I know you know the past tense.

the answer is no, if you still
make mistakes, its because you
never learned the past tense
deeply.
Now, I have no problem with
the past tense. Is it because Im
a genius? No. Of course its be-
cause I learned English as a
small child and I mastered the
past tense. How did I do it?
How did I learn it so deeply?
Through lots of repetition.

the same for you. You never

interesting things so the repeti-
tion is fun and interesting.
If youre focusing on text-
books, schools and grammar,
ah, of course repetition is diffi-
cult because its painfully bor-
ing, but with our lessons, for
example, youre listening to
funny, crazy, interesting stuff so
its easy to repeat it seven days
or 14 days or 20 days. Its not a
problem. You can go out and
find other interesting audios
and do the same thing.
So, here it is. Secret number
four, rule number four very im-
portant, learn deeply. Repetition
is the mother of skill. Learn
deeply.
All right, I will see you tomor-
row for secret number five. Have
t

a great day, bye-bye.
