I will teach you a way to learn grammar naturally. Use this method and your grammar will improve automatically. You will automatically use the correct verb tense. You won't think. You won't try.
The correct words will just come out-- without trying-- no effort.
**Miyuki Learns Grammar Without Studying Rules
Miyuki did very well on grammar tests. She knew all of the grammar rules. She knew English verbs.
But Miyuki had a problem. She couldn't USE the grammar in a real conversation. She could explain the past tense, but when speaking, she would say "Yesterday I go to school".
Miyuki was confused. How could her grammar tests be so good, but her speaking so bad?
**Michael Jordan Didn't Learn From Books
Micheal Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever. How did he learn to play so well? Did he study books about basketball?
Of course not. Jordan learned by doing. He learned by watching great players and copying them. He learned by USING his basketball skills. And he learned by focusing on the basic skills.
Michael Jordan wasn't good at STUDYING basketball, he was good at PLAYING basketball.
**English Schools Fail Again
English schools teach you to STUDY English, not to USE English. English schools make English complicated. The rules seem so difficult. The tests are so difficult. There is so much to remember.
At school, you learned to THINK ABOUT English,.. but you didn't learn to SPEAK English.
You need to ask yourself-- Do you want good test scores, or do you want to speak English easily and naturally? What do you want from English?
Of course you want to use English well. To do that, you must ignore the schools and textbooks.
**Miyuki Changed To The Michael Jordan Method
After joining The Effortless English Club, Miyuki changed her study methods.
As a member, she focused on the most important basic grammar skills. I taught her to focus on the most common verb tenses: the simple past, the present, the perfect tenses, and the future.
80% of English speech uses these tenses. They are the most important. Master them first.
**Miyuki Did Not Memorize
Miyuki learned this grammar naturally. She never studied
grammar rules. How did she do it?
First I gave her a short story in the present tense. She listened to it everyday.
Then, I gave her the exact SAME story-- but this time it started with "10 years ago...." She learned to "feel" the past tense by listening to this story. She never studied rules.
Next, I gave her the exact same story. This time, it started 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 many times.
***Point Of View Mini-Stories
I call these "Point Of View Mini-Stories". They are the most powerful way to learn and use English grammar automatically.
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
You must learn grammar by listening to real English. The best way is to listen to the same story... told in different times (points of view).
Schools don't use this method. Textbooks don't use this method. It is powerful. It is simple. It is successful.
Use it, and you will succeed. You will use correct grammar naturally and automatically.
This is the secret to English grammar. Use it now and I guarantee you will improve your grammar-- without studying grammar rules!
