Hi AJ. I discovered your effortless English podcast even before I discovered TPRS, Blaine Ray and S.Krashen. So yes, defenitely you helped me find all that, which is really important in my life now.
I admire the effort and passion you always put in your lessons and podcasts. However there is something I don’t understand at all. I’ve just watched your last videopodcast “Essential step 4″ and I was thinking “my god, A.J. is trying to reach learners of English, many of whom would be unable to understand what he is saying even if they could slow down the tempo and read the script. So, how on earth does A.J. expect these students to understand what he’s saying and have any sort of connection with his ideas and his energy? Luckily, I can understand all you say because I’m sort of an advanced learner of English. But I’m sure many intermediate and beginner learners won’t have any clue about what you are talking about in your videocast. I’m sorry if this comment sounds too direct, but hey pal, you have help me a lot in the past, and I would be happy to help you too in any way I can. You speak super fast on your videopodcast! (in my very very humble opinion!)
so … who are those who actually can understand what you say? Maybe just the people who don’t need your help because they are already fluent in English. So… that’s whay I don’t really understand about the way you’re trying to reach the students.
saludos desde España
it is the greatest lesson i have never seen,and you are wonderfull teacher im really engoed that video and i like it ,i listen to u and your translation for me thank you so much AJ teacher i waiting for other video thank you so much
I would like to thank you for sending the english lesson, I have still confusing with present and past sentence , when l’m wirting the email at work place , please help me out to learn the present and past sentence,
Ignacio, I respect your feedback. The “Essential Step” videos are definitely aimed at intermediate level learners. My hope is that with the text, most will be able to understand the main ideas. I have found that most Effortless English fans have quite good reading skills (and vocabulary). Their (passive reading) vocabulary is usually quite good. What they lack, unfortunately, are listening and speaking skills.
Of course, as a native speaker it’s easy for me to over or under-estimate the difficulty level of my videos. I do monitor the comments about each video carefully– and so far, almost no one has complained that they are too difficult to understand. With the text, it seems that most intermediate level learners are able to understand the main ideas of each video (so far). Because of your comment, I’ll be sure to pay attention to comments about this video in particular.
As for true beginners (with low reading skills as well as oral skills), Effortless English really is not for them. For true beginners, I recommend the Flow English lessons that I did with my friend Chris. They are very basic and simple… and also slower.
Sergio, I own this system (A.J. Hoge). There are also two other programs that use this system: Learn Real English (Kristin Dodds, Joe Weiss, and I) and Flow English (Chris Moses & I)
Thank you very much for this webinar- step number 5
The amazing thing is that you are able to express that I only could feel or I guess sometimes, but never tell loud.
i made a mistake, It was about step number 4, not 5. sory
Howeverm, I would like to add something. I meet many times the word “leverage” in so many contextes, but I never understood his meaning.
Due to your examples, I thing I understood now, but I am not really sure if I would be able to use it in a different contexte.
So, If you could insiste on the meaning of this word or tell me in which lesson of Effortless English I could find it, I would be very happy.
Maria
Good morning AJ,
Thank so much for your English Lessons.
My English skill is also not so good, althrough I have learned and worked on it for many years, but my listerning and peaking skills are really bad, and i was totally disappoited for my English, so in the recent time i have not invested in it anymore. And by accident I knew Efforless English. Last night I listened to your 3 first rules from 8pm to 12pm, maybe more than 20 times for each rule, and i can hear over 95% with that my time. Only 1 night with 4 hours, so now i should not definitely say that your lessons helped me a lot in my improving of english, but i really enjoy your rules,.. the pronlems that you mentioned in it cause barriers for students who can not speak English in many years learning, they are same with my problem i am facing now.
One more again, thank so much for your English learning Method, but i lost my english confidence for too many years, so i dont dare to believe that I can speak English well within 6 months even i am really happy now because i have just found your great method, but i will try and give me one more chance.
Have a nice day.
Maria, “leverage” is something/anything that multiplies (increases) the power of something. So “emotional leverage” is anything/something that increases emotional power (ex. a memory, a belief, a method,…).
Hello, A.J. Hoge, how is life treating you? As a matter of sober fact, I am not a student. I am a TPRS coach and I would really love to ask you about something of prime magnitude. Do you know someone called Karen Rowan? And if yes, have you joined any of her workshops? I also wonder why do you not run such wonderful workshops and go on instructing other ‘poor’ instructors who are still very much sunk in the traditional, indeed mediocre methods. They definitely need change– positive metamorphoses! I would also like you to know that I am the only TPRS coach in Egypt and it would be such a great opportunity for me to invite you right here because our population is about 100 million and almost all teenagers as well as younger students are in crying needs of speaking English with excellence and precision, yet they horrendously fair by reason of the very much odious, if atrocious, methods of teaching by which the entire Egyptian world is utterly plagued. One more thing, if you please… Why do you always use the verb “want” as a dynamic verb, e.g. “I am wanting to do something,” while–in actual fact, it is stative and has invariably been thus. Many conservatives deem such a use non-standard. But I have noticed tons of Americans use it as dynamic, not stative so I’ve come to believe that it has recently been dynamic besides its being stative. Anyway, I am exceedingly proud to send you something and, by the way, I am a huge fan of Dr. Stephen Krashen, Dr. J. Marvin Brown, Mr. Blaine Ray and, on top of that, the immortal James Asher! I strictly follow in their steps and call their approaches into play and use. I only wished to ask you so simple a favor, could I–at least for the time being–use your mini-stories to teach my students or should I not do this and create them myself? Please answer me. I profoundly thank you from the depths of my very heart for the powerfully gigantic assistance you’ve given me. I will eternally remain indebted to you and I certainly would never pay any such sort or kind of compensation for whatever you’ve offered.
Best regards,
Mr. Muhammad Shahawy.
Cairo.
Hi Mr. A. J. Hoge;
you are great. as you said it works. thank you . thank you. your powerfull heart is something like gold maybe more than that. so take care of yourself . we need you.
I am also an English teacher in Iran. i see your thoughts work not only in my teachng methodology but also in my own life .
i have read the comment of I don’t know Mr. or Mrs. Ignacio Almandoz (comment no.2 ) and i have something to say about it : I think the way and the method Mr. A J uses in his speaking as you as too fast, is wonderfull not beacause they are less understandable by bigginers but beacause Mr. A J by that convey his feeling of teachng and learning to us we need emotion of learning more than understanding of details. that’s why he has attached its transcript of the video to download below it.
Muhammad,
Wow– what a great comment and very interesting! I’m always excited to hear from TPRS teachers! Regarding teacher training, I would love to do it and have thought about it many times. I frequently get requests, but just haven’t managed to get a seminar/training organized. But I will! Re: Karen Rowan– I have heard of her but have not done any of her workshops. I have been to Blaine Ray’s workshops and conferences and he is The Master! His son Von Ray is also incredible! I highly recommend anything that they do.
Re: “want” & “wanting”,.. I can’t immediately think of a situation where I have said “I’m wanting to do something”– so it would help if you could give me an example or situation. In general, I don’t worry about such things and don’t recommend that students do either. These kind of rules are dreamed up by bored academics and have no relevance to real world communication. So unless someone is studying to be a Phd. in English Linguistics,.. there’s no need for worrying about or debating intricate grammatical structures.
Finally, in regards to mini-stories I HIGHLY recommend that you create your own.. and that you do so DYNAMICALLY… with your classes. The great advantage of live face-to-face classes is that you can create unpredictable and personalized stories with the class… using lots and lots of questions. Let the class create the details– locations, names, problems, etc… It’s much more interesting and powerful when they do this. Typically, one of the students will be a hero in the story… and their favorite celebrities can be villains or other characters. Read Blaine Ray’s “Fluency Through TPR Storytelling” (if you haven’t already) for lots of ideas about creating stories with your class… using questions.
Good luck with everything.
PS: If you ever decide to do a teacher-training workshop, let me know. Basic info about hosting seminars can be found at: http://effortlessenglishclub.com/host-a-workshop-with-aj (We could discuss specific details at a future time).
Hi AJ. Thank you for this video. I enjoyed watching it.
You’re the greatest teacher I’ve ever seen. Before 6 months, I couldn’t speak English, but now I speak English very well because of you.
Whatever your religion is, you’ll go straight to the paradise because you’re always helping others.
I like you and your courses.your free courses always give me a lot of help.
7 rules for excellent english,essential step 1,2,3,4……and so on.thank you very much.
thank you aj
(MR. Muhammad I AM from EGYPT and I would like to meet you I am from helwan and I wont to study with you
please give me your email )
I invite you aj to EGYPT
first of all thank you AJ, I think using imagination is a very powerful method, I’ll try to make time for doing that haha.
I consider myself a good bigenner and I would like to say my opinion about the understanding level of the webinar, to me the webinar was clear , I understood most of it, actually AJ pronounce very well and clear. However I think it’s not important to understand every single word AJ said, understanding the main idea is good enough. Also I think AJ wasn’t talking fast, I think he was showing emotion and it helps us to get excited and energtic, I should say AJ has a very good and energtic speaking ability that can make people more excited and energtic.
I just love the way you teach us. You express everything with so much energy that I’ve recorded your voice throughout the whole day. This makes me to do my everyday activities likewise. Congratulations AJ, you just do it the right way!
Ignacio Almandoz,
Just referring to your comment I would like to add something. If you visit the Home page of EE site you will be reminded that AJ adress his efforts))) to those who have struggled many years (like me) for improving English. That kind of learners are always brilliant in English theoretically. They (I have to say we) have a lot of pieces of information (like puzzle) which are not stick to each other enough to speak “easily and automaticly”. As far as I am concerned his goal is to transform that mess in our mind to the structured system (subconsiously, of course). AJ is not a Bruce Willis to save the World and he never promises to help learners of all range of level. And, dear Ignasio, think about what I am going to say… even if someone just after listening Rule#4 feel discomfort because of low level of understanding…may be it might be the very leverage AJ told as in this webinar? Feeling real discomfort is a super push factor for making an “improvement jump” in all areas.
AJ, you have to pay attention to all comments, because sometimes it is a good way to get a discomfort)))…but…you are not a Mona Lisa to be admired by everyone. Keep doing, you are in a right path.
Dear Ignasio, my belated congratulations on the Great victory of Spain footbal team in the European and World Championship!!! I supported them. Viva Espana!!!
Hi!A.J.Hoge, what’s up? I am very happy to hear from you again.It step number:one, two,three now four, it give me square power, leverage in my life to continue.
thank you so much step four.
Gods bless you.
Hey A.J.! What can I say about that? This was as minimum the first thing I have started to learn English. Actually that was the first thing I thought. I DID NOT think about bunch of reasons at that time, the first I thought “I was learning English FOR 17 YEARS and I can’t speak at all!!!” Of course I could say some different words but I could not more.In one moment I got really really angry about this fact. At that time I did’nt know you else. And I got to look for… I’ve done it for more then 3 months.I was looking for something helpful and I did’nt know what that will be… And as a result now I have you as an amazing human which learnin me NOT ONLY English. I won’t to quit to learn of course even if I can speak something right now. NO! I really want to speak as a native speaker and I will. And I compare my own level one time in month. How do I do it? That very simple! I’m just listening your past lessons and other people speeches once in the month one or two days. I actually feel as raises my level of course just a little bit. For selfcontrol that is very great action very powerful.
By the way I want to say a little bit about the comment if someone don’t understand something: if human WANTS to understand meaning – he will do it anyway even if he don’t understand with the first time. Not understanding something right now is a biggest reason to learn what you don’t know. I can on all 100% confirm I made all of my very important and positive decisions by my great emotional state.
i am interesting to join to your lesson. i consider to my self is intermediate level but i have problems to speak clearly with confidence please help to imporve my sPEkin with native people.
Oh Man!!! I really need to tell you how much you’re helping me with that stuff. I’ve studied boring english courses and older methods for years and nothing had happened, I can’t understand even a little speech in English. I was so frustrated . So I found your method and I have been LISTENING it and GUESS WHAT?!! It’s really AMAZING!!! Now, I’m here in front of my computer listening your Essential Step 4 and I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!! I need to tell you : Please KEEPING DOING THIS GREAT JOB!! AND DON’T CHANGE THE SPEED OF SPEECH, BECAUSE WE NEED TO LEARN THROUGH REAL SPEECHES AND NOT WITH SLOW SPEECHES that makes us think in our own languages and thus makes us do translations … It doesn’t work. So, with regards your Great Work that show us emotion and passsion, and it´s very motivational I WANNA TO SAY THANK’S A LOT!!! YOU’RE CRAZY, ENERGETIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LIFE AND KNOWLEDGE AND I LOVE IT!!!
Very interesting lesson! Yet, The best way to build an emotional leverage is probably to create private or (more preferably ) communal rituals.
This routine ritual reinforces the polar system of negative and positive feelings .
We Jews have a complete system of rituals already. Our daily basis prayers and services are a constant reminder to our soul that each one of us has huge potential and that we should develop our own path to bring about our individuality in the most powerful way
So really the sentiments expressed by you in this video is quite religious one!

Thank you so much for sending these videos for me. You deserve a lot more than thank you but at the moment that is the only thing that I can offer you. Take care
Hey AJ,
I read Ignacio’s comment and I just want to tell you, I am very far from the fluent speaking, but this video then the other ones, too, is understandable for me. First I read the text and found the new word then I listen to video and read the text, too.
I did it two times and later i didn’t use the text and i understand you. Your body language is very helpful to understand what about you are speaking. Your honesty, passion is really inspired me to take actions. You are grate and lovely. Thank you so much.

It is a very good step like the other ones. Only when you feel motivated, and you work in the way to maintain your emotions you can do it. If you believe that you can do it, you will reach your purpose.

So what can I do to improve this problem?

I do not understand the meaning of “I’d” or “I would” in the sentences given below.
…So what I started doing is I’d get in the mirror and I’d look and I’d have like shirt off and I would grab the fat and I’d just look down. And I would kind of make it look even bigger, y’know, like put my stomach out. And then I would look at it and I would just make myself feel disgusted. …

I want to congratulate you for your patience and kindness.
You are really a great person.

Thank you for this video. I found very good ideas in it & I hope they will help me change some things in my life. I have wanted to make this changes for a year or maybe even more, I have thought about benefits logically, but it`s hard to bring myself to do something. After I watched this video, I understood that`s exactly what I am short on (emotions, energy). So thank you again for this amazing lesson!
Thank you A.J for your emails.I am convinced that your way to learn English is very great.And it will help more and more people in the world.Well,I really want to be your advanced member,but I just don’t have the bank cards you recommend,so it is difficult for me to join your team.And I feel so sorry.Thank you!!

I’m a french speaking english beginner but since my first lessons with effortlessenglish, I realized a big jump improvement in my listening level. So I encourage my colleagues to follow my way
the best teacher ever !! I keep wondering when he’ll come to Brazil !! I wouldn’t miss his seminar !! =D .. since I met AJ my thoughts have changed a lot !! I started to read more and quit negative thoughts about life !! I highly recommend his lessons !! He’s a teacher who has changed the way of learning anything in life !!! I’m glad I found him on the internet !!! all the best for ya buddy !!
Man… This video changed my life! I has never realized that I was doing exactly the minimizing thing, and it’s so amazing now, because I can see where is the problem, not just in English, but in everything I am now working on. Thank you, AJ. You are the best!
hi aj…you’re a fantastic english teacher that i’ve seen … your rules,ideas are effective and it helped me alot in speaking but would this help in writing tell me some effortless tips to improve would your process help my writion or not because i’ve listened many podcast but there is none about writing . you said to read alot alot and i’ve bought your lessons is it enough to read the text of your lessons.. please answer me
Gud pm, i’m very grateful to see you on your vedeo while you are taking it’s really convencing the way you speak . It’s very clear , understandable and great i’m very happy reading the writing of your fans it would rather help me a lot how much more if i have learn your lessons but it’s a great preveledge for me to avail your free email course love you my friend
I cannot express my thanks and gratitude to your invaluable lessons and I’m going to change myself and have leverage emotion not only in improving my English but also in everything in my life. Thanks a lot our wonderful teacher.
Hi Mr AJ. I’m from Viet Nam. I listened your lessons 2 years ago. Now I’m listening your webinar program about 7 essential for improving and leadership. I see that it is hapening on my life and your advice is very helpful for me. Thank you very much. I’m also reading abt Napoleon Hill, T.Hak Eker, Tony Robbin,Jack Canfield… and researching positive thinking.
Thank you so much A j, the thing you say in video step4 is great. It is true not only in studying English but also in another matter in life, I have so many problem in my life and I have usually hidden, now I thing it is the time to deal with all that things.
That’s really helpful but it’s like these instructions were in my subconscious thinking, i believe that i built up these ideas but i wasn’t sure about their success especially that in our learning experience , we encounter the plateaus phases which makes it a little bit harder to trust our subconscious mind and teacher Aj kind of pulled the trigger of my subconscious thoughts and make my mind believe in his pre-experiences based on these thoughts because he is already a leader , those seem like an approval to my perspectives of success
AJ, I do love your videos. You’re really changing my life – not only my english skills – for better. I do not have words enough to thank you. You’re awesome!
I do agree with the point you gave in this video. I always thought that although my English speaking was not very good because some of my pronunciation was not correct, it was not too bad because people still could understand me. I did not feel that I needed to change or improve my English pronunciation until I lost a good opportunity for a promotion. I was hurt deeply. After that happened, I told myself that I needed to improve my English pronunciation; otherwise, I might lose another opportunity again. So, I started listening your lessons. You are a great teacher. I like to watch and listen your video or lessons because the English you speak is so clear, which helped me a lot in correcting my English pronunciation. Thank you very much.
February 22nd, 2011 at 8:04 pm
Hi AJ, thank you for this, you are great.
February 22nd, 2011 at 8:30 pm
Hi AJ. I discovered your effortless English podcast even before I discovered TPRS, Blaine Ray and S.Krashen. So yes, defenitely you helped me find all that, which is really important in my life now.
I admire the effort and passion you always put in your lessons and podcasts. However there is something I don’t understand at all. I’ve just watched your last videopodcast “Essential step 4″ and I was thinking “my god, A.J. is trying to reach learners of English, many of whom would be unable to understand what he is saying even if they could slow down the tempo and read the script. So, how on earth does A.J. expect these students to understand what he’s saying and have any sort of connection with his ideas and his energy? Luckily, I can understand all you say because I’m sort of an advanced learner of English. But I’m sure many intermediate and beginner learners won’t have any clue about what you are talking about in your videocast. I’m sorry if this comment sounds too direct, but hey pal, you have help me a lot in the past, and I would be happy to help you too in any way I can. You speak super fast on your videopodcast!
(in my very very humble opinion!)
so … who are those who actually can understand what you say? Maybe just the people who don’t need your help because they are already fluent in English. So… that’s whay I don’t really understand about the way you’re trying to reach the students.

Ignacio, I respect your feedback. The “Essential Step” videos are definitely aimed at intermediate level learners. My hope is that with the text, most will be able to understand the main ideas. I have found that most Effortless English fans have quite good reading skills (and vocabulary). Their (passive reading) vocabulary is usually quite good. What they lack, unfortunately, are listening and speaking skills.
Of course, as a native speaker it’s easy for me to over or under-estimate the difficulty level of my videos. I do monitor the comments about each video carefully– and so far, almost no one has complained that they are too difficult to understand. With the text, it seems that most intermediate level learners are able to understand the main ideas of each video (so far). Because of your comment, I’ll be sure to pay attention to comments about this video in particular.
As for true beginners (with low reading skills as well as oral skills), Effortless English really is not for them. For true beginners, I recommend the Flow English lessons that I did with my friend Chris. They are very basic and simple… and also slower.
Thanks for your feedback and suggestions–AJ

Hi my great teacher,
Thanks for your Essential 4.
Have a good day.
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:03 pm
hellô A.J I would you like to know why there is one person who uses his sistem of teaching english.
Sô who owns this school sistem?
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:11 pm
Sergio, I own this system (A.J. Hoge). There are also two other programs that use this system: Learn Real English (Kristin Dodds, Joe Weiss, and I) and Flow English (Chris Moses & I)
February 22nd, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Hi teacher A.J
I realy enjoy Essential 4 and thank you for sending me these lessens.
February 23rd, 2011 at 12:58 am
Thank you very much for this webinar- step number 5
The amazing thing is that you are able to express that I only could feel or I guess sometimes, but never tell loud.
Thank for all this confirmation.
Maria
February 23rd, 2011 at 1:11 am
i made a mistake, It was about step number 4, not 5. sory
Howeverm, I would like to add something. I meet many times the word “leverage” in so many contextes, but I never understood his meaning.
Due to your examples, I thing I understood now, but I am not really sure if I would be able to use it in a different contexte.
So, If you could insiste on the meaning of this word or tell me in which lesson of Effortless English I could find it, I would be very happy.
Maria
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:18 am
Good morning AJ,
Thank so much for your English Lessons.
My English skill is also not so good, althrough I have learned and worked on it for many years, but my listerning and peaking skills are really bad, and i was totally disappoited for my English, so in the recent time i have not invested in it anymore. And by accident I knew Efforless English. Last night I listened to your 3 first rules from 8pm to 12pm, maybe more than 20 times for each rule, and i can hear over 95% with that my time. Only 1 night with 4 hours, so now i should not definitely say that your lessons helped me a lot in my improving of english, but i really enjoy your rules,.. the pronlems that you mentioned in it cause barriers for students who can not speak English in many years learning, they are same with my problem i am facing now.
One more again, thank so much for your English learning Method, but i lost my english confidence for too many years, so i dont dare to believe that I can speak English well within 6 months even i am really happy now because i have just found your great method, but i will try and give me one more chance.
Have a nice day.
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:30 am
Maria, “leverage” is something/anything that multiplies (increases) the power of something. So “emotional leverage” is anything/something that increases emotional power (ex. a memory, a belief, a method,…).
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:56 am
i would like to know about how to write proposer writing and report writing. could u help me?
February 23rd, 2011 at 5:26 am
Hello, A.J. Hoge, how is life treating you? As a matter of sober fact, I am not a student. I am a TPRS coach and I would really love to ask you about something of prime magnitude. Do you know someone called Karen Rowan? And if yes, have you joined any of her workshops? I also wonder why do you not run such wonderful workshops and go on instructing other ‘poor’ instructors who are still very much sunk in the traditional, indeed mediocre methods. They definitely need change– positive metamorphoses! I would also like you to know that I am the only TPRS coach in Egypt and it would be such a great opportunity for me to invite you right here because our population is about 100 million and almost all teenagers as well as younger students are in crying needs of speaking English with excellence and precision, yet they horrendously fair by reason of the very much odious, if atrocious, methods of teaching by which the entire Egyptian world is utterly plagued. One more thing, if you please… Why do you always use the verb “want” as a dynamic verb, e.g. “I am wanting to do something,” while–in actual fact, it is stative and has invariably been thus. Many conservatives deem such a use non-standard. But I have noticed tons of Americans use it as dynamic, not stative so I’ve come to believe that it has recently been dynamic besides its being stative. Anyway, I am exceedingly proud to send you something and, by the way, I am a huge fan of Dr. Stephen Krashen, Dr. J. Marvin Brown, Mr. Blaine Ray and, on top of that, the immortal James Asher! I strictly follow in their steps and call their approaches into play and use. I only wished to ask you so simple a favor, could I–at least for the time being–use your mini-stories to teach my students or should I not do this and create them myself? Please answer me. I profoundly thank you from the depths of my very heart for the powerfully gigantic assistance you’ve given me. I will eternally remain indebted to you and I certainly would never pay any such sort or kind of compensation for whatever you’ve offered.
Best regards,
Mr. Muhammad Shahawy.
Cairo.

Hi Mr. A. J. Hoge;
you are great. as you said it works. thank you . thank you. your powerfull heart is something like gold maybe more than that. so take care of yourself . we need you.
I am also an English teacher in Iran. i see your thoughts work not only in my teachng methodology but also in my own life .
February 23rd, 2011 at 5:55 am
AJ thank you for all video lesson , you are great…
Iam Acehnese
February 23rd, 2011 at 6:21 am
i have read the comment of I don’t know Mr. or Mrs. Ignacio Almandoz (comment no.2 ) and i have something to say about it : I think the way and the method Mr. A J uses in his speaking as you as too fast, is wonderfull not beacause they are less understandable by bigginers but beacause Mr. A J by that convey his feeling of teachng and learning to us we need emotion of learning more than understanding of details. that’s why he has attached its transcript of the video to download below it.
February 23rd, 2011 at 6:58 am
Muhammad,
Wow– what a great comment and very interesting! I’m always excited to hear from TPRS teachers! Regarding teacher training, I would love to do it and have thought about it many times. I frequently get requests, but just haven’t managed to get a seminar/training organized. But I will! Re: Karen Rowan– I have heard of her but have not done any of her workshops. I have been to Blaine Ray’s workshops and conferences and he is The Master! His son Von Ray is also incredible! I highly recommend anything that they do.
Re: “want” & “wanting”,.. I can’t immediately think of a situation where I have said “I’m wanting to do something”– so it would help if you could give me an example or situation. In general, I don’t worry about such things and don’t recommend that students do either. These kind of rules are dreamed up by bored academics and have no relevance to real world communication. So unless someone is studying to be a Phd. in English Linguistics,.. there’s no need for worrying about or debating intricate grammatical structures.
Finally, in regards to mini-stories I HIGHLY recommend that you create your own.. and that you do so DYNAMICALLY… with your classes. The great advantage of live face-to-face classes is that you can create unpredictable and personalized stories with the class… using lots and lots of questions. Let the class create the details– locations, names, problems, etc… It’s much more interesting and powerful when they do this. Typically, one of the students will be a hero in the story… and their favorite celebrities can be villains or other characters. Read Blaine Ray’s “Fluency Through TPR Storytelling” (if you haven’t already) for lots of ideas about creating stories with your class… using questions.
Good luck with everything.
PS: If you ever decide to do a teacher-training workshop, let me know. Basic info about hosting seminars can be found at: http://effortlessenglishclub.com/host-a-workshop-with-aj (We could discuss specific details at a future time).

Hi Mr. Hoge,
Thank you very much
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:59 pm
first of all thank you AJ, I think using imagination is a very powerful method, I’ll try to make time for doing that haha.
I consider myself a good bigenner and I would like to say my opinion about the understanding level of the webinar, to me the webinar was clear , I understood most of it, actually AJ pronounce very well and clear. However I think it’s not important to understand every single word AJ said, understanding the main idea is good enough. Also I think AJ wasn’t talking fast, I think he was showing emotion and it helps us to get excited and energtic, I should say AJ has a very good and energtic speaking ability that can make people more excited and energtic.
Asma.

THANKS A.J.
February 23rd, 2011 at 5:25 pm
hello mr.A.J
i’m little confused about the pronunciation of the “a” sound.
British accent is little bit differ than the American.
February 23rd, 2011 at 7:39 pm
I just love the way you teach us. You express everything with so much energy that I’ve recorded your voice throughout the whole day. This makes me to do my everyday activities likewise. Congratulations AJ, you just do it the right way!
February 23rd, 2011 at 9:05 pm
Ignacio Almandoz,
Just referring to your comment I would like to add something. If you visit the Home page of EE site you will be reminded that AJ adress his efforts))) to those who have struggled many years (like me) for improving English. That kind of learners are always brilliant in English theoretically. They (I have to say we) have a lot of pieces of information (like puzzle) which are not stick to each other enough to speak “easily and automaticly”. As far as I am concerned his goal is to transform that mess in our mind to the structured system (subconsiously, of course). AJ is not a Bruce Willis to save the World and he never promises to help learners of all range of level. And, dear Ignasio, think about what I am going to say… even if someone just after listening Rule#4 feel discomfort because of low level of understanding…may be it might be the very leverage AJ told as in this webinar? Feeling real discomfort is a super push factor for making an “improvement jump” in all areas.
AJ, you have to pay attention to all comments, because sometimes it is a good way to get a discomfort)))…but…you are not a Mona Lisa to be admired by everyone. Keep doing, you are in a right path.
Dear Ignasio, my belated congratulations on the Great victory of Spain footbal team in the European and World Championship!!! I supported them. Viva Espana!!!
February 23rd, 2011 at 10:45 pm
Hi!A.J.Hoge, what’s up? I am very happy to hear from you again.It step number:one, two,three now four, it give me square power, leverage in my life to continue.
thank you so much step four.
Gods bless you.
February 23rd, 2011 at 11:07 pm
Hey A.J.! What can I say about that? This was as minimum the first thing I have started to learn English. Actually that was the first thing I thought. I DID NOT think about bunch of reasons at that time, the first I thought “I was learning English FOR 17 YEARS and I can’t speak at all!!!” Of course I could say some different words but I could not more.In one moment I got really really angry about this fact. At that time I did’nt know you else. And I got to look for… I’ve done it for more then 3 months.I was looking for something helpful and I did’nt know what that will be… And as a result now I have you as an amazing human which learnin me NOT ONLY English. I won’t to quit to learn of course even if I can speak something right now. NO! I really want to speak as a native speaker and I will. And I compare my own level one time in month. How do I do it? That very simple! I’m just listening your past lessons and other people speeches once in the month one or two days. I actually feel as raises my level of course just a little bit. For selfcontrol that is very great action very powerful.
By the way I want to say a little bit about the comment if someone don’t understand something: if human WANTS to understand meaning – he will do it anyway even if he don’t understand with the first time. Not understanding something right now is a biggest reason to learn what you don’t know. I can on all 100% confirm I made all of my very important and positive decisions by my great emotional state.
February 23rd, 2011 at 11:28 pm
Hi I want to be your regular student.Your teaching method is very nice.I hope u help me to learn real English
February 23rd, 2011 at 11:35 pm
Hi, A J
i am interesting to join to your lesson. i consider to my self is intermediate level but i have problems to speak clearly with confidence please help to imporve my sPEkin with native people.
February 24th, 2011 at 12:16 am
Oh Man!!! I really need to tell you how much you’re helping me with that stuff. I’ve studied boring english courses and older methods for years and nothing had happened, I can’t understand even a little speech in English. I was so frustrated
. So I found your method and I have been LISTENING it and GUESS WHAT?!! It’s really AMAZING!!! Now, I’m here in front of my computer listening your Essential Step 4 and I UNDERSTOOD EVERYTHING YOU SAID!!! I need to tell you : Please KEEPING DOING THIS GREAT JOB!! AND DON’T CHANGE THE SPEED OF SPEECH, BECAUSE WE NEED TO LEARN THROUGH REAL SPEECHES AND NOT WITH SLOW SPEECHES that makes us think in our own languages and thus makes us do translations … It doesn’t work. So, with regards your Great Work that show us emotion and passsion, and it´s very motivational I WANNA TO SAY THANK’S A LOT!!! YOU’RE CRAZY, ENERGETIC AND ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LIFE AND KNOWLEDGE AND I LOVE IT!!!
February 24th, 2011 at 1:39 am
Hi AJ
Very interesting lesson! Yet, The best way to build an emotional leverage is probably to create private or (more preferably ) communal rituals.
This routine ritual reinforces the polar system of negative and positive feelings .
We Jews have a complete system of rituals already. Our daily basis prayers and services are a constant reminder to our soul that each one of us has huge potential and that we should develop our own path to bring about our individuality in the most powerful way
So really the sentiments expressed by you in this video is quite religious one!
Best regards

I did it two times and later i didn’t use the text and i understand you. Your body language is very helpful to understand what about you are speaking. Your honesty, passion is really inspired me to take actions. You are grate and lovely. Thank you so much.

And second, I’d want to ask you something special:
My problem is that I can understand another native english, but I can’t retain in my mind those phrases to translate to another person in spanish.
So what can I do to improve this problem?
Thank you in advance.

March 4th, 2011 at 6:04 pm
Dear AJ,
I do not understand the meaning of “I’d” or “I would” in the sentences given below.
…So what I started doing is I’d get in the mirror and I’d look and I’d have like shirt off and I would grab the fat and I’d just look down. And I would kind of make it look even bigger, y’know, like put my stomach out. And then I would look at it and I would just make myself feel disgusted. …
Would you please explain it to me?
Best regards
Jiri

Mr. Hoge:
Thank God I found a person like you. It`s really an amazing moment whenever I attend your wise lessons to all of english learners. To be honest with you, I have learned more about the quality of life -based on your own life experience- than English language itself.
I want to congratulate you for your patience and kindness.
You are really a great person.

Hi, A.J.
Thank you for this video. I found very good ideas in it & I hope they will help me change some things in my life. I have wanted to make this changes for a year or maybe even more, I have thought about benefits logically, but it`s hard to bring myself to do something. After I watched this video, I understood that`s exactly what I am short on (emotions, energy). So thank you again for this amazing lesson!

Hi Mr AJ. I’m from Viet Nam. I listened your lessons 2 years ago. Now I’m listening your webinar program about 7 essential for improving and leadership. I see that it is hapening on my life and your advice is very helpful for me. Thank you very much. I’m also reading abt Napoleon Hill, T.Hak Eker, Tony Robbin,Jack Canfield… and researching positive thinking.
October 27th, 2011 at 6:09 am
Thank you so much A j, the thing you say in video step4 is great. It is true not only in studying English but also in another matter in life, I have so many problem in my life and I have usually hidden, now I thing it is the time to deal with all that things.
November 11th, 2011 at 1:37 pm

January 11th, 2012 at 10:46 pm
now i speak English faster and easily thanks to you Mr. A.j Hoge… i am in debt with you—
January 24th, 2012 at 1:36 am
That’s really helpful but it’s like these instructions were in my subconscious thinking, i believe that i built up these ideas but i wasn’t sure about their success especially that in our learning experience , we encounter the plateaus phases which makes it a little bit harder to trust our subconscious mind and teacher Aj kind of pulled the trigger of my subconscious thoughts and make my mind believe in his pre-experiences based on these thoughts because he is already a leader , those seem like an approval to my perspectives of success
January 27th, 2012 at 12:22 pm
AJ, I do love your videos. You’re really changing my life – not only my english skills – for better. I do not have words enough to thank you. You’re awesome!
January 30th, 2012 at 11:38 pm
I do agree with the point you gave in this video. I always thought that although my English speaking was not very good because some of my pronunciation was not correct, it was not too bad because people still could understand me. I did not feel that I needed to change or improve my English pronunciation until I lost a good opportunity for a promotion. I was hurt deeply. After that happened, I told myself that I needed to improve my English pronunciation; otherwise, I might lose another opportunity again. So, I started listening your lessons. You are a great teacher. I like to watch and listen your video or lessons because the English you speak is so clear, which helped me a lot in correcting my English pronunciation. Thank you very much.
February 11th, 2012 at 9:46 am
hi AJ!your video is very interesting!i love you!thank you!
