There is a big problem in education today– all over the world.   All over the world, schools are killing the love of learning.   Everywhere it’s the same:   schools use boring textbooks, tests, grades, competition, complicated grammar rules, desks, and boring lectures to make students suffer.

Students study English speaking for years, yet still cannot speak confidently.  Everywhere, students are bored, stressed and tired.   Everywhere, students are frustrated.

Naturally, we are born to learn.  Naturally, we love learning.  We are curious.  But schools kill this natural joy of learning…  they make learning boring, stressful and ineffective.

We must change this.   It is time to bring happiness back to learning.  It is time to make learning fun, passionate, friendly, social, powerful, successful and cooperative again!   This is the mission of The Effortless English Club.

Our dream is simple:   create a worldwide network of local Effortless English Clubs.   At these Clubs, members will learn how to speak English confidently.  They will learn how to enjoy learning again.

Our local Clubs are a place where everyone is a teacher and everyone is a learner.   We support each other.  We help each other.   No bosses.  No tests.  No textbooks.  No stress.  No grades.  No desks.

Recently, in my own life, I realized how important this lesson is.  If you are a VIP Member, be sure to be serious about this lesson when you get it.  Enjoy!

1.  Immigrants in USA, Canada, UK, and Australia
2.  Brazil
3.  Japan & Korea
4.  Italy & France

As an “honorable mention”, I also noticed that Turkey is growing quickly as more and more Turks join Effortless English.

As I’ve mentioned before, the above countries get first priority for my visits and my Workshops and Seminars  (Thailand is not on the list, but you get a special pass because I enjoy being here so much!!! 

I’ll be visiting Japan and Korea this year.

So, looking at the list,..  I think that Brazil really needs to be the next country I strongly consider visiting.  I can’t speak any Portuguese and will need Hosts and Sponsors…  but after I get back to SF in May, I’ll begin planning a visit to Brazil and looking for hosts and sponsors  (possible a visit near the last part of 2010)  

And that, at the moment, completes my travel plans for 2010!

Happy New Year!!

(If you want me to visit your country, encourage more people who live there to become members!!! 

Happy 2010–  I look forward to meeting more of you in person!!

I think it’s a very good practice to begin the new year with gratitude, remembering all the good things in our lives.

I have many many people and things to be grateful for.

However, since this is a blog and website dedicated to teaching English, here I will focus on my gratitude for the teachers who have helped me become a better English teacher.

I have learned from many great teachers, directly and indirectly, including:   Stephen Krashen, Brenda Murphy, Ashley Hastings, J. Marvin Brown, Tony Robbins, Brendon Burchard, John Gray…..

…but the very best teacher I know is Blaine Ray.   More than any other teacher, Blaine showed me how to be a great English teacher.  He is a true master.   And in addition to being a tremendous teacher (in terms of his ability and technique)- he is an extremely warm and generous person.

Quite often, teachers write to me requesting Teacher Training materials, but I always refer them to Blaine’s site.

I am grateful for all I have learned from him (through his books and conferences)……  and hope one day to match his skill and style as a teacher.

For more info about Blaine Ray’s teacher training materials, see his website at:  http://blaineraytprs.com

Dear Friend,

Your email and video course is on it’s way!  In the meantime, I have a few questions:

Do you feel shy when you speak English? Do you make a lot of grammar mistakes when you speak?

Do you want to feel confident and relaxed when you speak English?

And why do you want to speak English quickly, easily, and automatically?

• Do you want a better job or career? Do you want to grow your business?
• Do you want international friends?
• Do you want to learn more and possibly study abroad?
• Do you want to be a true global leader who helps other people?

Will you ever do these things?  Is English the key to your future success?

Founder & Director of Effortless English

I’m A.J. Hoge, the creator of the Effortless English Teaching System and the Director of The Effortless English Club- the most complete English speaking system for adult learners. My audio lessons are best-sellers in over 25 countries.

Fifteen years ago, at my first teaching job, I had a student named Gladys. Gladys was wonderful. She was intelligent, friendly, and she worked hard. Every day she studied English textbooks for 4 hours! She tried to remember 50 new vocabulary words every day!

But, after 6 months of hard work, she still could not speak. Sadly, this was true for all of the student’s in the class. I felt terrible. So I asked other teachers for help. But they had the same problem.. very few of their students improved either. That’s when I realized something was wrong– something is wrong with normal English teaching methods.

I wanted to help all of the happy, friendly, intelligent, wonderful students like Gladys– and I decided I would find an answer. I would find a way to help my students speak English quickly, easily, and automatically. For many years, I studied books about English teaching. I constantly tried new methods in my classes. I read research studies.

Eventually, I got a Masters degree in Teaching English… and that’s when I found incredible new methods. I was so excited! Immediately I began to use these new methods in my classes… and every day I worked hard to IMPROVE these methods.

After several more years of testing and improving, I finally found the answer! My students began to improve quickly. They learned to speak easily and automatically. And even better– they loved my classes and they were very very happy!

I was excited! I loved seeing my students improve. My classes were full of excited students!

But then I had another problem– I could only help a few students in my class. Yet, I knew there were thousands, perhaps millions of students who needed my help. I knew that everywhere in the world, there were English students who wanted to speak English well.

Finally, I had an idea– I would record my lessons and offer them on the internet to English students everywhere!

Now, I can help students everywhere in the world… and now I can help you.

I’m so grateful to be your teacher. I promise I will always do my best to help you speak excellent English.

Dear Friend,

Do you feel confused during business meetings?

Is your job or career disappointing? Are you tired of doing the same old job?

Do you feel frustrated with your career?

Does your poor English speaking limit your career? Do you lose opportunities because you can’t speak excellent English?

What if your English speaking was excellent now? And what if you also had powerful new business skills?

What new opportunities would you have?

• Would you have a better job?
• Would you have your own international business?
• Would you be financially free?
• Would you have new international business contacts?

Do you feel bored with old English lessons? Do you feel bored with business and with business English? Don’t worry, you’re not alone– most students feel the same.

In fact, I feel the same. Have you noticed that most business English lessons are horribly boring? They are absolutely terrible!

Most business English lessons, in fact, teach business terms that are very old and very formal. The problem is, modern businesspeople don’t speak that way.

If you are a new businessperson- I will help you. I will help you learn business English.

And I will help you learn new business skills.

Effortless English Systems’ Developer Allen Hoge

Allen Hoge started teaching English in Korea 15 years ago, and upon return to USA, he experienced a curious phenomenon teaching Mexican and South American students.

The students spending 4 hours studying the English textbooks and memorizing 50 words a day were still unable to speak English fluently after 6 months.He developed the Effortless English System having researched into to ways to help speak fluent English quickly and easily.

Korean students are highly passionate, but their learning is ineffective.
Utilise free periods such as commuting time and lunch times.
One should be able to communicate their point across in English.

-The reason why Korean students’ speaking does not improve despite their diligent studying.

Studying English is like driving a car. To go fast it needs sufficient fuel and a good engine. Passion, motivation, and emotion correspond to fuel. Motivation and passion of Korean students are world top class. Only a good engine is further needed, which is a study method.
Just as a car runs slower if it has a smaller engine capacity, even with sufficient fuel, the Korean students’ method of learning grammatical structure and memorizing words is ineffective in improving their speaking skills.

Furthermore, learning English with eyes is also inefficient. To be good at speaking, English must be studied by listening with ears.
When speaking with someone, all communication must be processed quickly and automatically since there is no time to think about grammatical structure.

-Effective method for actually improving speaking skills in Korea, which is an EFL environment.

To be able to speak fluently, one must firstly listen to natives speaking easy-to-understand English everyday. These days, materials such as English pod-casts, audio stories, lessons, conversations and videos are easy to get hold of thanks to the Internet. They can be listened to during free periods such as on the way to and from work, lunch times and while shopping, using gadgets such as Ipods.

Instead of focusing on speaking from the beginning, it is better to designate approximately 6 months as a “silent time”, and concentrate on listening.

-Thoughts on the assets of a global leader.

English is a compulsory asset to becoming a global leader, because one must be good at English in order to participate in global discussions. A global leader must also have an enterprising vision. People such as Steve Jobs, Tony Robinson and Richard Branson can be described as global leaders with creative vision and strong communication skills.

It is not enough for Korean students to study grammar and words. When they can communicate their point across in English with great confidence and passion, then they will be able to embrace the world.

-Realistic advice for local students

Korean students’ motivation for studying English are world top class. If the learning method is adjusted, then the results will also be different. To improve speaking skills, one should start listening to easy-to-understand English audio instead of studying grammar books and word lists. By repeated listening an hour a day, one will experience the magic of English automatically being spoken from their mouths and becoming fluent within 6 months to 1 year.

In the faculty of language, listening is categorized as input and speaking as output. In language one can only speak as much as listened, and therefore by listening to a lot of good English one will accumulate as much things to say. By using the internet to listen to interviews with famous people, talk shows, and famous speeches, and copying them, one will be able to improve their English speaking skills to meet global standards.
