Three simple rules to follow in this English course:

[1] To learn to speak English correctly, you must speak it aloud. It is important that you speak loudly and clearly when you are practicing with the recorded lessons.

[2] To learn to speak English fluently, you must think in English. You are not “thinking” in English if you are reading your answers.

Once you understand each exercise, it is very important that you respond without looking at the printed lesson. Making your mind work in order to think of the answer is an important part of learning a language.

[3] The more you speak correct English aloud, the more quickly you will learn to speak fluently.

Every lesson will be difficult when you start. However, as you practice, you will learn to speak correctly. You must practice until you can repeat the exercises fluently without looking at the printed lesson. We often tell our students, “You will learn best when your ears hear your mouth speaking correct English.”
