Day 5: How to Learn Grammar....

Hi. How are you today?

On Day 2, I told you never to study grammar rules. But, of course,
you want to use correct English grammar.

Maybe you are thinking, "How can I learn English grammar if I don't
study English grammar rules?"

Well, today I will tell you. I will teach you a powerful method for
learning English grammar-- without studying grammar rules.

I will teach you a way to learn grammar naturally. Use this method
and your grammar will improve automatically. You will automatically
use the correct verb tense. You won't think. You won't try.



**Miyuki Learns Grammar Without Studying Rules


Miyuki did very well on grammar tests. She knew all of the grammar
rules. She knew English verbs.

But Miyuki had a problem. She couldn't USE the grammar in
a real conversation. She could explain the past tense, but
when speaking, she would say "Yesterday I GO to school".

Miyuki was confused. How could her grammar tests be so good,
but her speaking so bad?



**Michael Jordan Didn't Learn From Books


Micheal Jordan was the greatest basketball player ever. How did
he learn to play so well? Did he study books about basketball?

Of course not. Jordan learned by doing. He learned by watching
great players and copying them. He learned by USING his basketball
skills. And he learned by focusing on the basic skills.

Michael Jordan wasn't good at STUDYING basketball, he was good at
PLAYING basketball.



**Miyuki Changed To The Michael Jordan Method


After using The Effortless English Club lessons, Miyuki changed her
study methods.

She focused on the most important basic grammar skills.
I taught her to deeply learn the most common verb tenses: the simple
past, the present, the perfect tenses, and the future.


**Miyuki Did Not Memorize


Miyuki learned this grammar naturally. She never studied
grammar rules. How did she do it?


First she listened to a short story in the present tense. She
listened to it everyday.

Then, she listened to the exact SAME story-- but this time it
started with "10 years ago...." She learned to "feel" the past
tense by listening to this story.

Next, I gave her the exact same story. This time, it started with
"Since 2004..." Miyuki learned to FEEL the perfect tenses by
listening to this story.

Finally, I gave her the exact same story... beginning with "Next
year". She learned to FEEL the future tense simply by listening
to this story.



***RULE 5: Use Point Of View Mini-Stories


I call these stories "Point Of View Mini-Stories". They are the
most powerful way to learn and use English grammar automatically.


Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar
Use Point of View Stories for Automatic Grammar


You must learn grammar by listening to real English. The best way
is to listen to the same story... told in different times (points of
view): Past, Perfect, Present, Future.

Schools don't use this method. Textbooks don't use this method. It
is powerful. It is simple. It is successful.

Use it, and you will succeed. You will use correct grammar
naturally and automatically.

This is the secret to English grammar.



**How To Learn Real English


In the next email, I will tell you how to avoid textbooks and learn
only real English.



I guarantee you will succeed. Don't quit. You can do it :)


Good luck with your English learning,
