“Selling like hotcakes”  is an old slang phrase that means “selling a lot, very fast”.

Well, our new Real Conversation Lessons are selling like hotcakes!

Even more exciting for us, members really love the new lessons.  We’re so happy you are enjoying them!

If you haven’t gotten our new Real Conversation Lessons yet, now is the time.  Remember, we have a one time only discount right now.  The discount ends November 8th and we will never offer another one. (In fact, due to rising costs, we may be raising the price of all of our lessons soon).

Finally, here are answers to a few questions we’ve had about the new Real Conversation Lessons:

1. Are these different from the Original Lesson Pack?

Yes, these are different, separate lessons.   The new Real Conversation Lessons use the same Effortless English system, but the stories and conversations are completely new.

2. What if I don’t immediately get an email with a download link?

First, check your spam/bulk/jail folder in your email.   Sometimes your email company will mistakenly send our email to this folder (because our email comes from an automatic computer response).   So please check your bulk/spam/jail folder if you don’t see our email in your Inbox.

Also, its best to use a personal (not company) email address when buying the lessons.  Some companies have firewalls that block automatic emails completely–   so please use a personal email address when you buy the lessons.

3. Use The Members Forums for more questions

If you have other questions, please ask them in the members forums.  This is one of the great things about being a member.  We have a lot of expert members now and they are very happy to help you.  Also,  several of our teachers and partners are now on the forums, including me, Tomoe, Joe, and Kristin.

More Lessons Coming

We’re very happy that our new lessons are so popular.  The response from members has been fantastic!  We’re glad you agree that these are our best lessons yet!

But more good stuff is coming soon.   I am personally working on my next Lesson Pack- and I’m very excited about it!   I have completed 8 full lesson sets already, and go back into the recording studio next month to record more….

Thanks To Our Great Members

Finally, I want to thank our incredible members.  You help us improve and get better.  Your ideas, your energy, your enthusiasm– they inspire us to constantly improve.   You make us better teacher!

Thank you!

Learn English by focusing on content, not grammar.

What do I mean by content?  I mean, learn English by focusing on meaningful communication and meaningful information.

Most schools, and most students, focus on the mechanics of the language.  They study verb conjugations. They study the “rules” of prepositions.  They analyze the language as if it was a dead thing.

All of these traditional methods are analytical.

But English is not a dead thing to analyze- it is a living language.  It is a means of communication.

Your brain is naturally fantastic at learning languages.  Your brain is created to learn languages.  But you must learn in ways that are friendly to your brain.

If you bore your brain with rules, you will learn slowly.  If you try to analyze the language, you will learn slowly. If you try to memorize vocabulary, you will learn slowly. If you study textbooks and take tests, you will learn slowly.

Your brain is a super-fast English learning machine– use it correctly and you will learn super-fast!

Here’s how to make your brain happy and learn English fast:

  • Learn with stories.  Our brains love stories– its the oldest, most natural form of communication.
  • Focus on meaning, not form.  In other words, don’t worry about grammar rules. Focus instead on understanding and being understood.
  • Listen to the music of English carefully.  To improve pronunciation, listen very carefully to the intonation of English speakers– pretend you are listening to music.
  • Choose content you love.  Only listen to and read English content that is interesting, meaningful, or funny to you.   If you don’t enjoy it– find something else!
  • Read easy novels, not textbooks.  Again, the brain loves stories and hates boring drills.  Burn your textbooks…  read easy, fun, interesting English novels instead.  Read a lot of them!
  • Make friends, join a community.  English is for communication– so communicate with other English speakers!   Forget about mistakes. Forget about grammar. Just relax and communicate!

By smiling, having fun, and focusing on meaningful content, you will make your brain happy.  And a happy brain learns very fast.

Use these brain friendly strategies to increase your English speaking improvement 2-4 times faster.

Enjoy and speak excellent English!
