English Learning Psychology

“Psychology is 80% of success, method is only 20%”

Most English learners are very intelligent Most are highly motivated when they begin Most students are very successful in school, in their jobs, in their businesses, and in their relationships

So why do so many fail to speak English easily and quickly?

What is the problem Why do people who are normally so successful fail in this one area?

There are two answers to that question:

1 Bad Methods

2 Bad Psychology

Learn English- Methods & Psychology

I talk a lot about methods As you know, the grammar and textbook methods used in schools are terrible They are total failures Very few people will learn to speak English easily if they use those methods That’s why I developed the Effortless English system

It is a system designed to help you speak and understand real English

But even if you use my system, its not enough Tony Robbins is right– a great method

is only 20% of success The other 80% is psychology

Psychology means: motivation, energy, beliefs, rules, standards, and emotions When learning English, psychology is very important

To succeed as an excellent English speaker, you must learn to manage your emotions You must develop a psychology of success

One key way to do this is to manage your emotional states In fact, this is probably the most important element of success psychology Poor emotional states will lead to

failure, powerful emotional states lead automatically to success For example, if you are frequently tired, bored, or depressed– you will struggle to study English consistently You will have poor concentration Your memory will be worse You will be more likely to quit, or to study in a distracted or lazy way

You must learn to master your emotions You must be energetic, excited, enthusiastic, and passionate every time you study English Imagine– smiling and laughing every time you listen to English Imagine feeling energetic and extremely happy, every time you listen to English Would that make you study more? Would that make you learn

faster? Would your concentration be better? Would you improve faster? Yes– yes to all!

So how do you do it? How do you get into a peak emotional state every time you listen

to English?

Here’s my recommendation:

1 Find some exciting, energetic music that you LOVE

2 Before you start listening to your English lesson, play the music

3 As this exciting music plays, raise your head Look up

Change your body Pull your shoulders back Stand tall

Then smile… smile a big smile

Take deep breaths

4 Next, move your body Dance with the music Keep looking up Keep smiling Jump and dance Lift your arms over your head as you jump and dance and smile Feel the happiness and energy from the music

5 Stop and say loudly, “Yes!” Say it again, “Yes!” One more time, “Yes!”

6 Now play your English lesson As you listen, keep your shoulders back Keep your eyes up Keep smiling In fact, stand up and keep moving Walk and breathe deeply as you listen to the lesson

7 When you listen to the Mini-Story lessons, answer each question loudly Don’t be shy Shout your answer! Keep your head and eyes up Keep a big smile on your face as you answer with a loud voice

8 If you begin to feel tired or bored at any time, pause the lesson Play your favorite music again and repeat all of these steps Add more energy to your body and your emotions Then play the lesson again

By managing your emotions in this way, you will study longer, you will remember more, and you will learn 2-4 times faster

You’ll also teach yourself to be strong and confident when you speak English

Always be in a peak emotional state when you listen to my lessons and you will always learn much faster

Learn English online Join a fun, international club of English learners Learn to write English by reading and communicating naturally Join our Effortless English Club

Effortless English is more than great lessons We are also a club, a community– a

family of English learners

Let’s be honest- language learning is a long process, and sometimes it feels lonely You need friends, coaches, and helpers to encourage you

That’s why an English club is so important An English club is your support system

When you feel tired, they energize you When you feel discouraged, they encourage you When you have questions, they give you answers

When choosing an English club, however, its very important to find very positive

members Unfortunately, some clubs & forums are filled with very negative people

For example, my wife Tomoe (who is Japanese) recently posted her introduction on an English community forum The next day, some guy responded to her by correcting all her “mistakes” He was cold, unfriendly, and condescending

You don’t want that kind of club!

What you want are extremely positive, enthusiastic, friendly people You want an English learning family that will always encourage you

Our Effortless English Club is exactly that We are very blessed with many wonderful people Our members are absolutely fantastic They are intelligent, extremely warm and friendly, and very positive

Things Have Changed

Business English For New Business

I’ll be honest My Business English lessons are not normal They aren’t the average, boring, dry, super-formal lessons you find in most business English materials

As you know, I think most general English textbooks are boring But what’s absolutely incredible to me is that Business English books are even more boring! They are truly awful!

Sadly, most business English materials focus on business models that come from the 1940s and 1950s They are full of very stiff, formal English But American

businesspeople don’t speak that way I certainly don’t!

Business has changed since the old days

New business is fast New business uses rapidly changing technology New business is exciting and passionate

New business is Steve Jobs of Apple, Tom Peters, Seth Godin

If you want boring old business English, do not buy my business English lessons

My business English lessons focus on new business I talk a lot about online business I talk a lot about freelancing I talk about entrepreneurs I talk about innovation I talk about passion I talk about “permission marketing” I talk about “purple cows”

building my company, Effortless English LLC, by myself, starting with $200

Who will love my business English lessons?

Freelancers will love the lessons Entrepreneurs will love them People who hope to someday start their own business will love them Independent, creative businesspeople will love them Designers will love them Marketers, especially internet marketers, will love them

If you are an old businessperson, buy old business English lessons

But if you are an energetic new businessperson– try mine I think you’ll like them Learn English Online

While there are many good sources for online English teachers, I recommend Lingq In

my opinion, they are the best I used to work with them and thus I feel very comfortable recommending them

Online English Dictionary & Word Saver

As you use your English lessons, you’ll sometimes want to look up new words in a dictionary or find a translation in your language Online dictionaries are simply great– much faster than text

In addition to a dictionary, you also want to save your new words and review them Ideally, you should use a service that combines a dictionary with a save & review

English conversation is quite different from English reading Conversation uses a

different type of English, including different vocabulary

English conversation vocabulary is much more casual In English, this means we use

more words of Saxon or Old English origin during conversation We also use more

phrasal verbs (two or three word verbs).

The difference between conversation and more formal English is one reason that even

“advanced” students have difficulty with everyday conversations

The problem is that students learn more formal English in school Formal English tends

to use more words of French & Latin origin This kind of English is, in fact, much easier for students who speak Romance languages such as Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, or French These students often do quite well when reading English, but have a lot of trouble understanding normal speech

So, if you want to communicate with native speakers its very important to learn English conversation– not just textbooks and reading

To learn conversation, you must listen to more casual English and you must learn the

different vocabulary and patterns used in normal speech

In my lessons, I always focus on real English conversation and I use the vocabulary of

common speech Another great source of casual English conversation is film Listen to American and English movies and read the subtitles This will also help you

Finally, Kristin, Joe, Tomoe, and I are working on some very exciting projects We are recording real conversations with our friends and family In fact, Kristin and Joe are

already finished recording over 30 real conversations

Next, we’ll send these recordings to be transcribed– so you’ll have the text for all of

them Then we’ll make lessons based on the vocabulary in the conversations– including

idioms and slang For example, we’ll use the Listen & Answer technique to guarantee you learn the vocabulary and grammar deeply

These lessons are scheduled to be released on November 1st The title of these lessons is

simple and direct We’re calling them “Learn Real English“

Learn English grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, and listening with Listen & Answer Stories

Listen & Answer stories are designed to teach you grammar in an intuitive, natural way You learn grammar the same way American children learn it– by understanding the structure of the language

Most native speakers do not know grammar rules Ask an American, “what is the past perfect tense” and most will not know But, of course, they use the past perfect tense correctly every day

In fact, they use English grammar effortlessly They don’t think about it Rather, native speakers have a “feeling for correctness” They know what “sounds right” and they know what “sounds wrong”

Can a non-native English learner develop these same skills? Yes Definitely

But you’ll never develop the natural ability to use grammar effortlessly if you try to learn by memorizing and thinking

Learn English Effortlessly

In many ways, becoming effortless with English grammar is a zen-like experience You can’t do it directly through studying grammar rules

Listen & Answer stories, on the other hand, imitate the natural way children learn Your job as the student is very easy- simply listen to the story and answer the super-easy questions

In fact, I make the questions super-easy for a reason If the questions were difficult, you would start to THINK You would probably try to translate I don’t want that I want you to answer instantly and automatically– without any kind of translation

Another thing I do in the stories is repeat these easy questions in many different ways I

do this to get the grammar structures deep into your brain You don’t realize it, but as you answer all these easy questions, you are actually learning English grammar

This kind of learning is useful and practical You can learn English online with these stories- just download them and put them on your iPod

Over time, you will use grammar correctly as you speak You’ll use the correct

grammar but you won’t think about rules at all

The more you listen to the Listen & Answer Stories, the more deeply you learn the grammar, and the more automatically you will use it That’s why I tell students to listen

to only one Lesson Set per week I want you to be a master of English grammar

One final benefit of learning in this way– its a lot more fun You’ll actually smile and laugh while you learn English grammar Does that happen when you study textbooks?

Its very important, if you want to have your own business, to understand the difference between a “business” and “self-employment”

Self-employment is what most people create when they try to make their own business Self-employment is basically a job… the only difference is that you no longer have a boss You are both the boss and the employee

Certainly, self-employment is more fun than working for someone else But it has many problems The biggest problem is over-work For example, many lawyers are

self-employed But they work too much– 50, 60, 70, or more hours a week In many ways, they don’t own their business,… their business owns them

When self-employed, you are basically doing the same job you used to do for someone else A key trait of self-employment is that your business only makes money when you work If you take a vacation, your business stops making money (or makes less)

A true business is different It is not the same as a job A business is an organization of systems It continues to work even when you are not working or present You create systems by automating your business and/or training others to do parts of it Your goal is

to create a business that can run without you Ideally, you should be able to disappear for

6 months… and the business continue working well while you’re gone

This is easier said than done To accomplish this, you must organize every part of your business You must simplify all tasks and train people to accomplish them easily You must create a strong, clear management system You must automate every part of the business that you can… so that things happen automatically

To understand this idea better, I recommend the following two books:

The E-Myth

Rich Dad, Poor Dad

Both are available on my Amazon Business BookStore, or at your local English

bookstore

Business English Success

You’ll also learn more about this idea with my new Success Business English

Lessons…

Business English lessons with a strong focus for small business and entrepreneurs-

that’s how I describe my new “Success” business lesson pack

As always, I did not want to create normal, boring lessons Unfortunately, most business

business English lessons are filled with horribly fake and boring dialogues Most contain

no valuable information– other than long lists of business vocabulary

As you know, I never teach in a boring or conventional way
