There are two ways to use our English lessons. One way produces good results. Your English speaking will improve steadily. The second way produces outstanding results. Your English speaking will improve very quickly.
What are these two ways of study?
The first method is basically passive. Each day, you listen to all of the lessons in one lesson set. You repeat this every day for one week or more. For example, if you are studying the lesson set titled “A Kiss”,… each day you would listen to the Vocabulary Lesson, The Main Article, The MS (more than once). You would also read the Main Text, and since this lesson set has a MS Transcript, you’d read that too.
Your method would be very relaxed and passive. Basically, you’d just listen in a calm and easy way. During the Mini-Story, you wouldn’t answer the questions out loud– though you might think the answers. You might pause after each question, or you might just listen and not worry about answering. You’d probably be sitting down while listening.
This is a perfectly acceptable way to use our lessons.
However, there is another way to use them– a way that produces amazing results.
This method is extremely active. Of course, each day you still listen to all of the lessons in one lesson set, you still repeat this every day for one week, etc…
But the way you listen is totally different. Instead of sitting, you stand. And you don’t stand normally. Rather, you stand tall and strong, with your shoulders back, your eyes and chin up… feeling strong.
As you listen to the lessons, you move your body. You make gestures that are connected to the meaning of the English you are hearing. During the Mini-Story you pause after every question and you shout your answer with powerful emotion. As you shout your answer, you use all of your body and energy. You move your arms, chest, face, and whole body powerfully. You consciously have a huge smile on your face during every lesson.
This way of learning feels like a workout! You pour out your emotion and your energy! You put your entire body into the listening and learning process! You look like a boxer or a dancer as you listen to the lessons! When you finish, you feel happy and energized.
Both ways of using our lessons work. Both will be successful. But the second method is exponentially more powerful. Try both methods, on different weeks, and compare the results for yourself!

You are absolutely right; really I like the second method especially when I heard your excited voice.
February 16th, 2009 at 1:47 am
Another exciting learning insight! Great job AJ!
March 1st, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Hi, AJ.
I’m learning your success lessons. I enjoy it. Your firs sesson set Flow English is very good, because there are so mush emotions. The second one is also interesting, very interesting, but it’s a little bit more stronger and it’s difficult to sit down and to listen to it. I quickly get asslip. But if I take my iPod and go outdoor and walk around my house or go somewhere else and liten to your lessons, I realize that you’re right. I need to move when I listen to the lessons. I’m even trying to run with iPod. It’s good! The only warning. Be carreful if you run in the dangerouse places, where a train or a car may pass.
your lessons are veeeeery goooood!
Thank you, and your team.
Best regards.

I am 64, and I started learning English when I was 50, and this is the best tool I have found to learn and practice speaking English using only the ears. Thanks.
May 26th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
A one year ago I began to use the first way and I recognize that it is very powerful. I felt nervous, I didn’t understand English and I didn’t also talk. Today it is very different, I am very better because every day, step by step, I learn new something. I know I am not 100%, anyway it is a good begin.
Thanks a lot.

August 13th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
When answering the questions (ms)for the lessons we can repeat the answers that come before, acting like some movie star. There’s more fun then and you can speak English more in longer chunks of speech. After such an exercise you really feel English sounds.

Thanks alot AJ for this amazing article. Of course, i followed and still follow the second methond; actually without it i cannot tolerate listening to something for 1 hour. unlucly, i only listen for 1 hour a day for one week. i wish i could increase listening hours, but i cant. anyway, i will never give up and i am sure i will finally learn to speak english fluently. thanks for all your efforts.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:52 pm
AJ’s teaching is fantastic.I have spent years reading books to learn english.But when i searched this website & got learning methods from AJ i learned english in just 3-4 months & i think that after a year i would be speaking like a native speaker.
All the best to new learners.These methods realy works…….

OF COURSE THE SECOND WILL WORK VERY WELL
BECAUSE I ALWAYS IMITATE THE WAY YOU SPEAK IN VIDEOS WHCH MAKES ME MORE ACTIVE AND ANERGIZED

My dream is to go San Francisco and to wear some flowers in my hair…
…If you’re going to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you’re going to San Francisco
You’re gonna meet some gentle people there
For those who come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
In the streets of San Francisco
Gentle people with flowers in their hair
All across the nation such a strange vibration
People in motion
There’s a whole generation with a new explanation
People in motion people in motion
For those who come to San Francisco
Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
If you come to San Francisco
Summertime will be a love-in there
All the best AJ
