Things if you do you will never learn English

Many English students emailed me and posted comments asking me to give them more advices on how to speak English fluently, they have been asking me everyday, if I don't say every hour, so I chose to write a helpful article telling them what to do really if you want to speak English easily.
I've been always talking about things you should do to improve your English, but now I'm going to talk about things that you should never do if you want to learn English, I mean real English not textbook English to be clear.

Don't study grammar:
For most English students, this rule has always been so strange, because they always think that English can never be learned without studying English grammar, I'm inviting you to read one of my old posts tittled English Grammar to learn more about how can English grammar kill you skills and abilities.

Never be shy:
This is one of the most important rules if you want to speak English without thinking and with a good accent. But unfortunately, most English students don't care about it and don't focus on it. So I'm advising you to teach yourself to never be shy when you want to speak English. I know you think that your friends will laugh at you when they hear you speak English, but you're completely "WRONG", so be clever and don't be shy.

Never speak English when listening to English:
This is also an important rule, there are two things: listening and speaking, and you should not do the two things simultaneously.
When you listen focus on listening in order to speak English very well.
I think this rule is simple and everybody can apply it, let's go to the next one.

Never leave "Fastest way to speak English"
This is a great rule, I've been giving advises to English learners since years, so you have to visit Fastest Way to Speak English at least once a week in order to take the best advices and learn to speak English like an American.

Never try to remember English vocabulary:
Because vocabulary is going to be deeper into your brain if you followed my advices. You're welcome to read the 7 steps to English vocabulary to get more details and learn how to get more new English words in your memory without trying to memorize.

I hope that you enjoyed my rules, I'm ready to answer to your comments so don't hesitate.

Repeat some English phrases

Welcome back! In this post we will talk a little bit about a specific action that English students should do in order to learn more vocabulary and to improve their pronunciation with English.

Maybe you've been already doing it, but I should talk about it!
Have you noticed that some days, you repeat some phrases alone?
If you did, I think these phrases are now deeper into your brain!

Yes, in this article I advice each English student to repeat some phrases without thinking, just to make them go deeper and you learn much much vocabulary doing so.

For example: when learning English, or listening to a conversation you hear a good phrase that you like the pronunciation, then you repeat listening again and again (because you enjoyed it) and then you start to repeat it alone subconsciously (withing thinking and without feeling) you repeat it loudly, you copy the pronunciation, maybe you repeat it for a week or more!

Then next week you hear another phrase, then you start doing the same time with the previous phrase, and then you will see that these phrases are easy for you, you understand them faster, and you speak them with thinking (especially in a real English conversation)!

OK, that's it, now tell us if you have already do this techniques with phrases that you listened and enjoyed! it's for you now!!

How to improve your English accent now

Well, this is a tip that you can practice in two minutes or less, as a result you will speak English like a native speaker (just the pronunciation and the accent).

This idea came from "American Accent Training", it allows you to speak English like a native speaker in a short time.

When you practice this tip, you won't be able to speak English like a native speaker forever, but it will give you a small idea about the American Accent.

Follow these steps in order to realize it:

1-Find a short sentence being spoken by a native speaker (MP3 file if you can)

2-Listen to the MP3 file many times.

3-Try to speak exactly like the native speaker.

4-Practice it many times up to the point you speak like the native speaker.

Well, what do you think about your pronunciation now? is it good to have an American accent?

Tip: If you couldn't realize it, it's because you didn't focus on the intonation.

Focus on the intonation, don't focus on each single word!

If you have some problems realizing it, you can post your comment and I will help you.

Improve your spoken English

Spoken English and written English are totally different. Everyone should learn English he needs and of course this returns to your goals because English students are different.

Most English students do very well with writing and reading skills, but when it's up to English speaking, they are at a total loss!

However, if you want to improve your spoken English, I don't recommend that you don't do some simple English readings because they are really helpful. All you have to do is to choose the best things to read (things that you love, simple reading, real English...)

Listening is always the key to everything, especially when it's about spoken English.

If you want to speak English very well and to improve your spoken English, you should think about these three things:

Real English material, you ears, your mouth (and tongue of course)

First you should find real English material where real English is spoken, this is very important if you would like to speak English like an American, like a native speaker!

Then, you should use your ears which means that you should listen to English a lot! listen to English everywhere, at any moment! (I recommend using an IPOD or something else)

Finally, use your mouth (what does mean?) try to answer before reading the next words.
Of course it means practicing English, don't tell me that you forgot your English friends!

Another thing is the pronunciation: the most important is a clear pronunciation, then you try to have a good accent (pronunciation and accent are not equal!)

Another tip, is to subscribe by Email to my feeds if you want to get the latest updates, see you next time!

Why do they speak English so easily?

In a previous article, we said that English students are different and they don't have the same level and don't have the same reason they learn English. It's true, but there are some countries where English is spoken as a second language but almost everybody speak English very well!

For example, in Holland and Germany people speak English very well, they speak English fluently, easily and with a clear pronunciation!

While in other countries like France and Italy people doesn't speak English well, even their pronunciation is so bad!

This is due to many reasons, we will talk about some of them:
*In some countries, they study English earlier than others. For example, in Holland they begin to study English at the age of ten!

*They are willing to learn English and they should (because of business and many reasons)

*Their language is related to English, for example Dutch and German are not so far from English!

*In Universities, they use English instead of their own language which gives them a huge motivation to learn English!

Well, even if you are from France you can learn to speak English fluently because nothing is impossible!

Even if your accent is so bad, you can speak English with a clear pronunciation and a good accent.

I advice you to build you psychology before you start to learn English because it's one of the most important steps but unfortunately many English students skip it!

Our next ebook "How to speak English fluently in short time" will help you to speak English even if you're so bad, so don't be upset and never stop learning English because it's very important!

Speak English fluently is the most important

Most English students start to learn English with only one goal which is "to speak English fluently", then they follow some boring methods (grammar, memorizing word lists) then they end with a different goal from the goal they started with.

Always put in your mind that speaking English fluently is the most important thing in your English learning career, English grammar and all other methods are just useful things and ways which can lead you to the goal.

Studying English grammar makes English students think only about grammar and the structure of the language.

Please tell me: which one is the best: to speak English fluently with correct grammar without knowing grammar Or to know everything about English grammar but don't speak English fluently?

let's talk about memorizing word lists: Which one is the best: to have a limited vocabulary you can use easily OR to have a huge vocabulary you can't use?
(But I want you to have a huge vocabulary you can use)

Always put it in your mind: English grammar and memorizing word lists are not goals, your most important goal is to "speak English fluently".

I think everything is clear now, but I want to ask you a question just to read your comments:
Do you have a:

1-Huge vocabulary you can use.
2-Huge vocabulary you can't use.
3-Few vocabulary you can use.
4-Few vocabulary you can't use.

I'm waiting for your answers in the comments, hope to see you for the next tip.

Talk English with your friends

If you want to speak English fluently and easily without practicing with you friends, I think you're in the wrong way!

There is a difference and a relationship between "speak" and "talk"
to speak means "words come out of your mouth", but "talk" has the idea of speaking with others.

So, when you speak, you're just getting words coming out of your mouth, but when you talk you're making a conversation.

If you talk with your friends in English, you're making an English conversation.

The relationship between these two words is that, talking in English helps you to speak English fluently.

The best solution is to practice talking English with a native English speaker, try to find someone who can help you, I mean, someone who slows done when you ask him, someone who repeats when you don't understand...

If you find a native English speaker who can help you, you can make him as an English tutor. And I don't ask you to look for something else to learn English because you already have the best solution.

While finding an English tutor is not available for everybody, finding some friends with the same level as you can also help you to improve your spoken English.

For example, if you have some English friends, each one of you knows some vocabulary others don't know and then everybody will learn more vocabulary!

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, talking in English is very important for you, because it helps you either to learn English or to improve your spoken English.
