Rule 2: Do Not Study Grammar
Hi,
this is A.J. Hoge again, the director of Effortless
English. And today, we are going to learn
about rule number two. Now, rule number two is a suprise for many
people. Rule number two is simple. Do Not Study Grammar Rules. Do
not do it.
Now
I know, this is a tough rule for some people. Because, most of your life,
learning
English, you have been told to learn
grammar rules. In middle school, In high
school, In university, In language school, everywhere in the world;
grammar,
grammar,
grammar…
So,
my first question to you is: Did it work? Was
it successful?
If
you are watching this video, you have studied english before in school,
somewhere. And probably, you focused on grammar
rules. So, my question is: Can you speak
English easily, quickly and automatically
right now? If the answers no, Why not? Because you have studied
english for many years already. Why can’t you speak
English quickly, easily and automatically,
why not?
Well,
it’s not your fault actually. The reason, the answer for most people is that
you study grammar rules
too much. You focused on, grammar rules.
Why?
Because your teachers told you to.
Why
is it bad to study grammar rules?
Well because, when you study grammar rules,
when you focus on grammar rules, you focus on analysing English.
In
other words, you think about English. You think about the past tense,
the present tense, the future, the present perfect, the past perfect.
Now
for writing English, that’s Okay. Why? Because when you
write English you have time. You can go slowly. You can write very
slowly, you can think about it, you can erase
your misteke, it’s okay. You don’t need to write fast. But for speaking,
there
is no time. You do not have time to think about
rules, the present perfect tense in English when you listening
and speaking. There is no time.
Someone
asks you a question, you must answer immediately. You have no time
to think about propositions, you have no time to think about verb tenses,
possessives, all the stuff you learned, there is no time.
How
do native speakers learn grammar?
Well,
I am a native English speaker and I can tell you, I never studied grammar
rules. Not until high school. And we studied grammar
rules for writing. In college native
speakers study grammar rules again, why? For writing. But for speaking,
we
don’t. So how do we learn grammar rules?
We learn through listening. Through
hearing correct grammar again and again… a lot of correct grammar.
So
the best way to learn english grammar is
through imput. Another word, English coming in mostly through your ears.
But reading is also okay but don’t read textbooks, don’t read grammar
books. Just read easy
English books, easy novels. But most of all
listening. Now, in the next e-mails that you get, I will tell you exactly how
to learn grammar and
easy way and effortless way, without studiying rules.
So
keep getting those e-mails. Reed the next e-mails, because in later e-mails I
will tell you exactly how to learn English grammar so
you can use it quickly and very fast when you are speaking. Not just writing.
But for now, for today, the number two rule, i want you to remember
that “Do Not Study Grammar Rules” If you focus on grammar rules it will hurt your speaking.
Your
speaking will more slowly, your understanding will be more slowly.
So
if you have grammar books,
throw
away! Put in them in a trash, good bye grammar
books. If you want, you can burn it. Burn
them in a fire. Because, they are useless. They will not help you with your English
speaking or your English
learning or listening. So good bye grammar
books. No more grammar rules yeaaa. That
shoud make you happy. Okay, good enough. This is the second rule for learning
to speak excellent english. Tomorrow you will get the next rule.
Rule number three tomorrow. So, I hope you enjoy this e-mail course
and these videos. And I will see you next time. Bye bye.
