Hi, I want to comment that this is also happen in most countries all over the world and I was one of the students who was writing comments and why did we use “is”, why we need to add “the” and not “a”, then get the exam hopefully to pass it. Effortless English is so great, help a lot to start my first step to pronounce English and improve it in the right way. Thanks AJ for every thing you do, We appreciate this a lot.

Hi AJ, I liked this new videos.
Good lesson that you taught in it.
I remember part of this story from that “English trauma” report.
Hey, did you meet Godzilla while you lived in Japan?
I like your Japanese speaking.
I’d like to know what Tomoe thinks of it…
Best regards.

I am myself an English teacher in Korea. After I listened to AJ’s story, Something Wrong In Japan, at first I felt terribly ashamed of myself as an English teacher, of how I have been destroying my eager, woderful students with all my tests, red X marks on their wrong answers on their tests, and my constant criticism about their grammar mistakes, which I myself have been worrying about making all my life. Looking back, I realize I am also one of the victims of the school system. I cannot measure how much the deep-rooted fear of making mistakes in English speaking contributed me being reduced into a timid coward not only in speaking English but also in my general personality. Your story was a rude awakening for me. I hope I can be born again both as an English teacher and as a human being, which will be totally owing to AJ’s story. I thank for the fate that led me to Effortless English.

You’re right on 100%, A.J. The native speakers also do mistakes. Everyday and many times. So there is nothing terible do mistakes.

Hi A.J., thanks a lot for everything you are doing for us. I love yours video and audio lessons!! I feel like “Sleeping Beauty” from fairy tale – you awake me!! I learned English in high school, in university,( oups, it was almost 40 years ago), maybe I’m the oldest one here, but now as a grandmother I want to speak fluently with my grandson Alexander, he is 3 years old American man. I want to understand and be understandable when I speak English. End I will!!

Hello A.J, Nice story and it’s helpful for the teacher of English like my friends and me. Actually, we are living in Asia country and we are taught to avoid all mistakes. We do not love the fears. Through the story, I found a new way of making the class funnier.

AJ, thank you very much for your free lessons, they are great! Thank you for sharing this information and knowledge about learning with all of us. It will work wonders in anyone who follows the rules of the effortless english system. These lessons are different and really work!!!
March 6th, 2011 at 4:10 am
Thank you A.J. for this funny and very real story. If you have never assisted teaching in Russia or Ukraine you can tell the same story named it “Something wrong in Russia”. This story is funny and very sad in the same time. So many people (including myself) are hurt by wrong teaching techniques and methods. I have been learning English forever and still do not have good result. I am perfect example of how not to learn foreign language. I count on the help of effortless English method. It sounds great, logical and right!!!
March 6th, 2011 at 2:37 pm
The story is really funny, thank you for sharing.
March 6th, 2011 at 5:36 pm

March 9th, 2011 at 12:15 pm
Dear A.J.
You are wonderfull teacher!;) Your job is very important and meaningful!
You help people to find the best way how to improve english speaking. My story is the same. There is the same situation of teaching system in my country and this is very sad. The result is tragical- I was learning grammar rules long time, but I can’t speak automatically, I don’t understand others speakers. I was confused, because English is very important for my life, for my career. Then I find your teaching system, your 7 rules. I started learn with your and other videos, I listen audio and can understand more and more every day. I enjoy it. I am glad to be your student, thank you very much!

Wow I hope I can get prety soon yours courses yours stores =) please don´t stop sending to me thanks for your life God Bless you!!
March 10th, 2011 at 9:37 am
Hi AJ,
This story is exactly what happens in my country. Everytime when I was in the English class, I kept asking myself ”Why don’t teacher speak English. This is English class, isn’t it. How can we improve in speaking or the other ways without ever hearing any English.”
I can’t believe that this is what native speaker like you also think in mind. Thank you for giving us the new method of learning English. It would be amazing if your (and my) opinion can impact our world in some day. It would be awasome.
Have a great day.
March 16th, 2011 at 8:26 pm

Really love listening to your spoken stories or teaching experience with written text, that makes us feel so much interesting ( due to your funny, vivid talking, hahaha…..!! )to learn and check more easily.

May 6th, 2011 at 3:51 am
Hi A.J. First of all, I want to congratulate you for being such a good teacher. In fact, such a nice person. I can see yu really are into your job, and that you really care about your students. I´ve been studying english for more than 5 years, but I’ve never saw anything as great as the new method you propose. It really changes paradigms. I hope you keep on “preaching ” your message around the world, cause there are people that need it.
In addition, I’d like to ask you to keep sending those movie-records shorts so we can study at home. I´m refering to the “Hitch” one.
I really appreciate you and what you’re doing, and be sure you have a friend in Colombia Bro’.

Hi AJ Hoge.First of all I want to thank you for your effort in teaching English .I heard the story about teaching English in Japan.It was easy to understand and funny to listen.I thank you for that,but I want your advise about my English spoken.I do have living for four years in the US and my speaking is still poor,as you can see it.I understand what the others are seing but when I speak I don’t have myself in control.everything you say about how people are feeling when they speak English is true.So do I .I haven’t buy your lessons yet.You think it will gonna help me to speak better English .Also I need to give the TOEFL exam for the nurse school that I want to attend.and they accept the foreign students with a score at least 230 point.Do you think I can get that?The best wishes for You and your family.

Hi A.J. Your video is very funny I laughed almost all the time. I am from Poland and here is mostly the same situation, the same old methods but of course it is not really the fault of teachers but of the kind of system and how they have learned. So it is great that you have tried something new and it works! Thanks so much for your video lessons and for everything. I really see my improvement in listening though I started Effortless English just a month ago. All the best for you!

May 21st, 2011 at 6:46 pm
hi,
thank you for nice and intresting story,
May 21st, 2011 at 8:56 pm
Dear Mr.Hog,
You’re the best English Teacher – I have ever found in my life.
Really I was frustrated in my school years of learning English due to bad method and still those schools are using the same method to teach English – crushing and destroying the natural learning ability of the new students.
Should we not start a campaign against it and force them (Schools Authority ) to accept new method of teaching English.Because I think they should not have this right to spoil time, money and efforts of thousands of students for endless period.Should they ?
What we can do now !
Yes,we can do the following :
1.) E-mail or even write letters to the respective education ministry of a country to make them aware of new method of teaching English, better to say “Aj Hogs method”
2.) Take the help of national dailies of a country to make the the students ,teachers, guardians aware of the ” Aj
Hogs Teaching Methods with 7 Rules”.Because Internet is not accessible to all yet.
3.)Tv and radio advertisements/talk-shows are also necessary to make everyone understand that methods of teaching English in traditional Schools must be changed.
4.) Text materials/Audio/Video/CD/DVDs of new methods of teaching English should be supplied free or at a minimal cost to the schools authority – who are really interested to change their methods of teaching.
5.) To accomplish the above tasks an international organization should be built under the leadership of Mr.Aj Hog or any other man like him and this organization would select a country representative/group to run all these activities in the representatives own country.
I would like to get from the reader of this comment many more new ideas and process of spreading and installing “Aj Hogs English Teaching Method” in traditional schools of all over the world.
Best regards

Hi Effortless English Family, I hope your doing good. to night I want to thank you for all the thing you’ve been sending me. Some days ago I was sorfing the web and found something very interesting. It was an audio lesson from the movie ‘HITCH’ starring Will Smith and it is fantastic. In some parts of it, you ask us that if we like you to work with movies we had to tell you. OK. I do like and want you to continue doing it. I think it is a wonderfull way to learn english while having real and funny stories. I tell you one more time that I really really want to buy your lessons but I do not have a credict card and I do not know any other way to do it. Not being more for the moment, I say good bye and hope to know about you soon. God bless YOU!

May 27th, 2011 at 11:51 am
Dear AJ,
OMG I was myself a poor vicitim of the same kind of English learning system. That’s why I can’t speak fluently even after 26 years of constant learning. What a waste of time! I badly want to learn from you but I haven’t got a credit card that I can pay you for your precious lessons.I’m now in an English speaking country.To be honest, I don’t like move with the people here because of the fear that I may make mistakes. I really don’t express myself that natives may think that I’m being rude. I can’t help it. I am so scared to speak, express and communicate. I am getting disappointed with everything since I’m hopeless at communication which is the most important thing when living in a foreign country.
By the way, I admire all your efforts for a better way of teaching the language. Keep it up! You are a great teacher.
May 28th, 2011 at 12:50 am

first of all,thank you for sending me some files.but I live in iran and I can not buy enything from you. I wish I could.
June 19th, 2011 at 9:17 pm
Your story is not new. I was one of those students, but my teacher used to speake Arabic all the time. We still have the same example nowadwys everywhere. That is because English lesson means to pass the exam and get full marks and nothing more.Most students at schools study English as a subject not as a language.Unfortunatelly some teachers make the students write each new word 50 times as a homework. Otherwise they would be punished severely.However some parnts complain if the teacher speakes English while explaining the lesson.That is because they want the teacher to explain every word in Arabic. Another teacher writes all the lesson on the board and asks the students to copy evey word, when the students complain, the headmaster says that they are naughty students and the teacher is very active and spend all the time writing on the board without having a rest.
June 21st, 2011 at 11:36 pm
It is a very good report, could you send me a mp3 audio of that,please!
June 24th, 2011 at 1:02 am
thank you. i was student i have been learning English nearly one year .i all way scare and nervous when i writing story or email to a friends because i med a lot of mistake .but i very confident when i peaking English and i understand what they say. i know only litter bit of grammar.i can peak English seen 2003 but i can’t read or writ.in to 2010 i decide to go school.when i find out MY teacher’s Indian and pakistan i very disapointed He’s good at grammar but i don’t know any thing.
Aj hug said is true anyone can peaks englis if you be live yourself and confident ,

Dear A.J,
I am from Tamil Nadu, one of the State in India. I have similar experience when i was learning English in my school and colleges. At that time, Our school teacher had been teaching English thorugh Tamil language, in the end we didn’t have learned real english. I beleive this system is still continuing. When i am hearing this audio, i have really laughed many many time at the same time my eyes was filled with water when i am realising the pain we took while we had been learning.
Thanks God. I find you in one of the youth tupe. Now i am a VIP member and also learning Efforless Power English in a very natural way without taking any pain and efforts.
I feel better now. I hope i will speak fluently within couple of months.
Thanks..

Hi!
I’ve heard the same story in my country… even more, I’ve made the same as a teacher. I’ve to say that is “the way” students are taught here in Chile (except for those students in private schools, because they only hire native speakers and then develop a total immersion program)
I’ve been thinking how to do something different, I found this way and it’s giving me good results.
Thanks.
November 30th, 2011 at 4:57 pm

Sorry, i want to tell you a litle story i heard from a friend of mine. He told me that when he went to england london he first started to learn english by subscribing an english course. And in first lesson the teacher invited students to go out to a pub, asked them to make orders for the others and then of course i thought
it was amasing but at the same time it was a very new and intelligent way to start learning english by doing.
Thank you again for everything, for you contributing to improve our english skills.
See you soon and Bye Bye

Hallo Mr. AJ Hoge,
thank you about all your e-mails.
Thank you A.J. for this funny and very real story. teaching in Lithuania you can tell the same story named it “Something wrong in Lithuania”. This story is funny and very sad in the same time. So many people (including myself) are hurt by wrong teaching techniques and methods. I have been learning English forever and still do not have good result. I am perfect example of how not to learn foreign language. I count on the help of effortless English method. It sounds great, logical and rightly

Wow!!! I was always wondering why after several years of studying English still we can’t speak fluently. I always asked this question from my teachers that what is wrong with our English education methods that we can’t improve it and we can’t be fluent in it? but i got no answer so far. Now i understand it. We studied exactly in the situation you have described
Thank you for making us aware of it and thank you so much for incredible secrets to learn English

Hi A.J.
When I listened this podcast I remember something about this. I have a girl friend and she is an English teacher in Turkey. Actually I have two friends of Englidh teacher. Anyway, Few years ago I wanted her to teach me to speak English. And she said ‘I can’t sorry, I can help you with grammer only, because we learned only ”how to teach English Grammer to students”in university, I can’t understand every thing in English, I can’t understand all the movies in English, but if you need you can write something in English and I’ll check them.’
I asked so many people in my country about ‘I want to speak in English’, They all said the same thing; ‘you are done. you can’t learn more in here. you must go abroad, maybe you can be succesfull or not, who knows? But It is a little expencive, isn’t it?
Then I give up. Untill I met you. Thanks a lot!
Now I’m beleive you, beleive that It can be, why not? I want to teach English to my son like a native speaker, before he meet his English teacher in school, I don’t want to be like me

Hello to everybody! I’d like to thanks by the opportunity of being here, writing this commentary, and showing a little bit of my english. I’m very, very glad by already be able to speaking english, same in spite of the fact of starting there just some weeks. Is incredible how my pronounces, my listening, and my understanding in English improved, ’cause there two months ago, I couldn’t speak anything in other language, bad I knew speaking correctly that simple american phrase ‘the book is on the table”, srsr. Now, I’m able same till of think in english, and that really made me a lot of motivated. Without doubts, this course WORKING!
Thank you very much, A.J and all that believe in this method. Congratulations!

hi
passage
Crime has its own cycles,a magazine reported some years ago.police records that were studied for five years from over 2,400 cities and towns show a surprising link between changes in the season and crime pattern.the pattern of crime has varied very little over a long period of years. Murder reaches its high during July and August, as do rape and other violent attks.
Murder , moreover,is more than seasonal:it is a weekend crime. it is also a nighttime crime:62 percent of murder are committed between 6 p.m and 6 a.m.
Question:
1-According to the passage…….
1)violent actions have on specific pattern
2)police studied more than 2400 murder cases to find out the pattern
3)violent attacks are the most in August and July
4)crime patterns change every year
2-which one is NOT true?
1)Murdesr and rape are weekend crime
2)most murders happen between 6 p.m and 6 a.m
3)mostly in July and August violent attacks, murder, and rape happen
4)there is a surprising connection between time of the year and type of the crime
3-According to this passage,which time of the year is the most dangerous?
1)July and August
2)weekend
3)the weekend of July and August, between 6 p.m and 6 a.m
4)there’s no dangerous time
THE END.

Dear A.J.
I had so much fun when I listened your story in Japan. You are the best English teacher in the world. I am a Chinese. I feel that there is something wrong in China, too. When I was a student there, I learned many and many grammer roles as well as vacabularies. However, at the begining when I came to the U.S, I could not understand most Englsih people talked to me, and I also could not be understood when I talked in Englsih. I felt that I was smart when I talked with people who spoke Chinese, but I felt I was retarted when I talked in English because I had to think and put each English word in a correct order in mind first before the sentences coming out of my mouth which made my talking become so slow, like a stroke patient who had brain damage. Thank you for creating this wonderful way for our foreign people.

The story is funny and sad. Most Ukrainian schools use the same method in teaching English – more and more gramma!

Dear AJ, I had a similar experience in my school career, over a period of eight year or more! I wish
I met you and your method earlier!
Thank you, you rock!
