Spoken English Learned Quickly

 

Introduction

You have an opportunity for a better paying job, but you need to improve your English before you can apply. Or, you want to enroll in a university in the United States, but your English is not good enough yet. You have already taken English classes for two years in secondary school. Maybe you have studied more English at the university. You know English grammar and can write, but you need to learn how to speak English. And you need to improve your spoken English very quickly. This training will tell you how to retrain your mind—and your tongue—in order to learn fluent spoken English. With the information from this training, you can learn to speak English in half of the time it normally takes. Throughout this training, we will emphasize spoken English.

 

Teaching Your Tongue to Speak English explains the concept on which this Spoken English Learned Quickly method is built. The remaining parts tell you how to apply that information as you learn to speak English fluently.

 

 

Module 1: Teaching Your Tongue to Speak English

 

What you learn: Speech is controlled in your mind by feedback from your hearing and mouth position as much as it is from your memory. If you want to speak fluent English, it is just as important to retrain your tongue as it is to train your memory. To be effective, however, you must retrain your mind, tongue, and hearing at exactly the same time because they must work together when you speak English. Why have you studied English so long in school without learning to speak fluently? It is because your teachers have tried to train your mind with written exercises without retraining your tongue at the same time.

 

Module 2: Four Rules for Learning Spoken English

 

What you learn: This module explains four rules which you must follow in order to learn spoken English. These four rules help you retrain your mind and tongue simultaneously so that you will learn to speak fluent English quickly. You will be surprised by the fourth rule which states, "You must never make a mistake when you are speaking English."

 

Module 3: Grammar and Writing in Spoken English Study

 

What you learn: Any language is unintelligible without grammar because grammar consists of the rules used to put words together in ways which convey meaning. The issue is not whether or not you need to know English grammar. The question is, "How do you learn English grammar best?"

 

Module 4: Do You Need Beginning and Advanced Lessons?

 

What you learn: Without first evaluating the unique qualities of language, it is often assumed that English study must be divided into beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels. However, a careful assessment of English indicates that it does not use multiple levels of language complexity. The kind of sentences which you use as a beginning student are the same kind of sentences which you must master as an advanced student in order to gain English fluency. As a beginning English student, you must learn English in the context of full sentences. As an advanced student, you must use the same sentences to perfect syntax and intonation.

 

Module 5: Selecting a Text

 

What you learn: For spoken English study, you will need both a written text and an audio recording of that text. It will be easier to make an audio recording using a newspaper text than it will be to transcribe a radio audio program as a written text. The newspaper article becomes an excellent text for language study. If you are using Spoken English Learned Quickly, both the text and the audio recordings have already been prepared for you.

 

Module 6: Studying the English Verb

 

What you learn: Learning to use the English verb correctly will be one of the most difficult tasks for you in learning to speak fluent English. We suggest that it will be much easier for you if you simultaneously learn all persons and tenses of each new English verb. Spoken English Learned Quickly includes four kinds of spoken Verb

 

Module 7: Success in Spoken English Study

 

What you learn: This Module will encourage you to be persistent in studying spoken English. Staying at the task will be your greatest difficulty. This Module will also encourage you to improve your spoken English fluency by reading newspapers. The chapter closes by telling you that you can expect success as you study spoken English.
