Spoken English Online

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

I’ve been teaching English as a second language for over 10 years and I hear the same kind of thing all the time.

Students are shy with their speaking because they are afraid they will make a mistake.  They tell me they don’t know how to “express themselves clearly in English”.  When people speak to them in English, they can often understand but they don’t know how to answer.  They feel embarrassed.  They know they should improve, they want to improve, but they don’t really know how to improve.

They tell me reading and writing much easier than spoken English.  Then they tell me the only way they can actually improve their spoken English is to either move to an English speaking country or meet a western boyfriend or girlfriend.  They can’t imagine doing it online.

I’ll be honest, these ideas do make sense and I can really understand how the students feel.  How can you learn to speak better if you aren’t speaking with anyone?

Well, you really can.  I did the same thing with learning Chinese.  I’m not a really smart language learner, but I did have a really good method that I want to share for English.  This will help the words actually come out of your mouth.

I know it sounds a bit crazy, but you can learn very well with this online study method.

The idea is that you need to practice listening to native speakers talk.  They don’t make mistakes and you can learn from their conversation.  But you can’t learn from just listening.  You need someone to explain all those things you want to say but can’t say.  That’s exactly what we do in this program.  We know what you need to learn and we teach you exactly that.  TV and movies are too fast and they don’t explain what they are saying.  They don’t really teach anything.  We talk about the same stuff from movies and everyday life and actually explain it to you so you can start to use it.  We show you how to answer all the types of questions you will hear in real life.  You will stop feeling shy and actually be able to answer everything.  We have been living in Asia for 10 years.  We have many European friends and we’ve traveled all over the world.  We know exactly what students like you want to learn.

I’m sure you have a computer and an MP3 player like an Ipod, Iphone, Android, or something you can use to listen to MP3’s.  I’ve made over 100 lessons that are each about 10-15 minutes long.  These are natural slang conversations between myself and my real brother.  It’s easy to listen to one or two of these lessons every day  and read the PDF that we send with each lesson.  We teach all the things we say in real life.  Most English programs focus on grammar or building high level vocabulary.  The problem is that when you are having a simple conversation, you don’t need that high level vocabulary.  You just want to find the words fast enough so you can answer questions and have a normal conversation with a westerner.  We teach you the cool vocabulary and slang that is used all the time and necessary for understanding and speaking everyday English.

We only teach this kind of necessary stuff for you.  We make learning fun and interesting.  We give you the confidence you need and a perfect plan for how to speak better English.  You will learn so fast using this method.  We have over 25000 people from all over the word using this program.  Many of them are people who now live in an English speaking country, people who need English for their job or improving a test score, or people who would like to one day move to an English speaking country.  If you want to improve your oral English for any of these reasons, then I guarantee you will love this program.  You will get all the MP3’s and PDF’s emailed to you.  You can start downloading the program right away and your level and confidence will start to grow after the first day.
