1
Hi, this is AJ Hoag, director of the Effortless English Club.
2
Welcome to our new set of lessons.
3
These are called the Power English lessons.
4
The reason they're called Power English is is because in these lessons, we're going to do two things.
5
Number one, you're going to learn English, of course.
6
As always, we have the mini stories, which are our favorite lessons for most of our members.
7
But the content, the focus,
8
the topics in these lessons are going to be focused on the psychology of learning and the psychology of success.
9
Now, these ideas, they're not just my ideas.
10
In fact, they come from a lot of other people.
11
They come from people like Tony Robbins, who's a famous success coach, Robert Anton Wilson, Joe Vitale, Robert Kiyosaki, Alan Watts.
12
So I've taken a lot of ideas from a lot of different people.
13
about this topic of the psychology of success.
14
And the reason that we're going to talk about this in these lessons is that in my experience, most English students struggle and fail.
15
because of psychology.
16
Not because of...
17
methods, not because of teachers.
18
Those things are important.
19
But Tony Robbins talks about the fact that psychology is 80 % of success.
20
And I think he's right based on my experience with many, many English students.
21
Psychology is 80 % of success, so 20 % are the methods you use to study.
22
20 % are the schools you go to, the teachers you have, the books you use.
23
Those are important.
24
We talk a lot about them. But...
25
The other 80 % is psychology, your motivation.
26
your emotions, how you manage your time.
27
All of these things are, in fact, much, much more important.
28
What I saw in my classes was, were that the enthusiastic students, the energetic students, the optimistic students always learned much faster.
29
They succeeded.
30
the ones who failed, the ones who dropped out and quit, the ones who struggled, had the opposite mentality.
31
They had a very negative mentality.
32
their motivation was low.
33
They tended to be pessimistic.
34
They felt that they weren't good at English.
35
They had ideas that English was very tough, very difficult.
36
They struggled.
37
They didn't have enthusiasm for English.
38
They didn't love English.
39
So in these lessons, we're going to talk about how can you manage your emotions?
40
How can you develop that strong, powerful, enthusiastic attitude towards English?
41
How can you maintain it?
42
so that you don't get bored.
43
So then in fact, you get stronger and stronger with English and your psychology gets stronger and you succeed.
44
You reach your goals.
45
You speak fluently, effortlessly.
46
So among teachers, English teachers, language teachers, this topic is It's called non -linguistic factors.
47
Non -linguistic factors.
48
So what non -linguistic factors means is things that are not related...
49
to language learning directly.
50
when we talk about Language learning research, when we talk about the best methods to use when you learn English.
51
Those are linguistic factors, right?
52
They're related to the language.
53
Non -linguistic factors means not related to the language.
54
This has nothing to do with English.
55
It's more about psychology.
56
Motivation, for example, is a non -linguistic factor.
57
So that all it really means is just emotional.
58
factors.
59
And there are actually many research studies about this topic.
60
Dr. Stephen Krashen down in Los Angeles, probably again the expert in language acquisition, language learning,
61
has done many studies and he has also looked at many studies and he's found that non -linguistic factors are
62
equally or in fact more important than the linguistic factors.
63
to determine who is successful ultimately.
64
What that means is that things like your emotions, things like your peer group,
65
the community that you belong to, your feelings about English.
66
are as important or more important than the methods you're using to learn English.
67
So how are we going to do this?
68
How are we going to learn?
69
Well, one of the things we have to do is create a daily English ritual.
70
You need to engage your physiology.
71
That means you need to engage and use your body.
72
You need to engage and use your subconscious.
73
That's how you start to affect and strengthen yourself your psychology.
74
So we have to strengthen our psychology.
75
What does that mean?
76
Really, it means affecting your body and your mind at the same time so that you actually feel better.
77
Your emotions are happier. while you're learning English.
78
And I know this is the opposite of what you learned in school.
79
You probably didn't feel very happy when you were sitting in your English classes.
80
But when you're learning with effortless English, it's very important for you to feel happy.
81
for your body to feel good, for your mind to feel good.
82
for you to emotionally enjoy the process of learning English.
83
Of course, it's just more fun.
84
You're going to like it a lot better.
85
But the other benefit is that you actually will learn faster.
86
You'll improve your grammar faster.
87
You'll improve your pronunciation faster.
88
you'll remember vocabulary words better, longer, and faster.
89
when you feel good.
90
So there's a very practical reason for doing this too.
91
So we're going to talk a lot in detail.
92
in these lessons.
93
about how to do this.
94
But just right now, during this introduction, let's talk a little bit about a daily plan, something you could do immediately.
95
right now, today, to start improving your success, with English.
96
by changing your psychology.
97
So here's a little ritual, a little plan you can follow every day to start improving.
98
to start feeling better.
99
and then therefore improve your motivation and to learn English faster and faster and faster, better and better and better.
100
And it's very simple.
101
So the first thing you're going to do is when you get up in the morning, the first part of this plan, this daily plan, you want to get into a peak emotional state.
102
Peak means top.
103
For example, the top of a mountain.
104
When we talk about a top of a mountain, the very top, we call the peak.
105
So we're saying a peak emotional state means a top emotional state or top emotional feeling.
106
It means you want to feel great, not just good.
107
You want to feel really great It's the first thing you need to do before you listen to any English lessons,
108
before you study, you want to first be sure that you feel great.
109
How can you do it?
110
Well, it's really easy.
111
I recommend, for example, using music and I actually do this myself in the morning, most mornings, I will put on some great,
112
exciting music that I love, jump around, act like a crazy person, and get myself feeling energetic and happy.
113
Do that first before you listen.
114
So move your body, smile.
115
We're going to talk about this more in detail in later lessons.
116
But just for now, every morning when you get up, first put on some music, some energetic, happy music that you like.
117
Smile, move around.
118
Do that for maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes.
119
Then when you're feeling really great, your body's moving, you feel like you have energy, you're happy, then, start your English lessons.
120
The first thing you want to listen to is the main article, the main audio.
121
That's how you're going to use these lessons.
122
So the first thing is listen to the main talk.
123
And you can read this as well the first time.
124
If you cannot understand easily, you can read the transcript and listen at the same time.
125
Do this perhaps two times a day, starting with the main story and reading.
126
Use a dictionary if you need to, to look up new words.
127
Next, listen to the vocabulary.
128
So in the vocabulary, again, I will discuss the meanings of some of the difficult words that I used.
129
And again, you can read the transcript of that vocabulary lesson.
130
There's always a transcript you can read.
131
If you can't understand my speaking, if I'm too fast, then read at the same time.
132
It's okay.
133
Next, you'll listen to the mini story, and the mini story is the most important lesson.
134
The mini story is designed for deep learning.
135
In the mini -story, I'm going to ask a lot of very easy questions.
136
while I tell a story.
137
In fact, I really ask the story, I don't tell the story.
138
"Why am I doing this?" students ask me.
139
"Why are the questions so easy?" Well, the questions are supposed to be easy because I want you to answer Fast and automatically.
140
I want you to train your brain teach your brain to answer very quickly.
141
I don't want you to translate from your language to English or from English to your language.
142
It's a bad habit.
143
It'll make you speak very slowly.
144
I want you to just answer quickly, automatically, very fast.
145
So that's why I ask so many questions and questions again, again, again, again, again.
146
Very easy.
147
Your job, answer the questions quickly.
148
You can answer with only one or two words.
149
It's okay.
150
Short answers are fine.
151
You don't need to answer with a big long sentence.
152
In fact, short is better.
153
So that's the order that you're going to follow.
154
You're going to listen to the main article first one or two times.
155
You can read as well if you need to.
156
Thank you.
157
Then you're going to listen to the vocabulary.
158
One or two times?
159
each day.
160
And then finally you're going to listen to the mini story one or two times or more.
161
You can also read the transcript for the mini -story in the beginning.
162
Now, another important point when you're listening to these lessons, do not study them.
163
Don't struggle to memorize.
164
Just relax and listen.
165
If necessary, you can read as well, as I said, if you need to. But relax.
166
You're not trying to memorize anything.
167
Just let it come in.
168
Let the English come into your ears and into your eyes.
169
Don't think about it.
170
Don't analyze it.
171
Do not think about grammar.
172
The mini -stories will help you learn grammar Subconsciously,
173
So don't interrupt that process by trying to analyze it.
174
Don't think about grammar rules.
175
You want to learn like a native speaker and that means you're going to
176
learn the patterns of English in these many stories
177
You might not be able to explain them just like native speakers usually cannot explain grammar rules.
178
But that's okay.
179
You want to be able to use them correctly.
180
That's the important part.
181
So again, you want to relax and Do not study.
182
Do not think about grammar rules.
183
Do not try to translate.
184
Just relax and listen.
185
That's why we call it effortless English.
186
It should be effortless.
187
You should be smiling, relaxed, and just listening.
188
Now another important point, You want to move your body while you're listening to the lessons.
189
This will keep your energy high.
190
So what do I mean by that?
191
Well, a really easy way to do this is just to walk.
192
Yeah.
193
You've got an iPod, you've got your earphones in, listen to the lessons while you go for a walk.
194
You can do two things at one time.
195
You exercise, you improve your body, and you listen to English lessons and improve your mind at the same time.
196
If you're sitting in a train, then maybe you just stretch your body a little bit.
197
If you're in your car, you can move a little bit.
198
You can move around in your seat.
199
If you're at your house, you can go crazy.
200
You can jump around.
201
You can exercise.
202
very strongly.
203
You can go to the gym.
204
Do something with your body while you're listening to the lessons.
205
It will keep your energy high.
206
It will keep you feeling better.
207
You'll actually learn faster by doing that.
208
Finally, A very, very important point.
209
You need to use our deep learning method.
210
That means you listen to each lesson set for one week or more.
211
So for example, this introduction It's got three parts.
212
There's a main lecture, a main talk.
213
There's a vocabulary section and there's a mini story.
214
Well, those three, you want to listen to those three every day.
215
for seven days.
216
You want that repetition.
217
Repetition is very important.
218
You want it to go deeply into your brain.
219
Just one time is not enough.
220
even if it's very easy for you.
221
If you listen, you understand everything.
222
It's simple.
223
Still, Follow the deep learning method.
224
Still listen to the whole set.
225
for one week or more.
226
On the other hand, if it seems very difficult, Listen longer, two weeks is okay.
227
Doesn't matter.
228
The point is you want it to go very deeply into your brain, which means you want it to be almost effortless.
229
It's just going to go into your brain and eventually just come out.
230
without you thinking.
231
And that requires deep learning.
232
It requires a lot of repetition.
233
So that's kind of your basic plan for using these lessons.
234
Again, first you're going to get into a peak state.
235
You're going to get excited.
236
You're going to jump around.
237
You're going to listen to music.
238
You're going to feel great.
239
Then you're going to listen to the main lecture, the main audio.
240
one or two times.
241
Then you're going to listen to the vocabulary, one or two times.
242
Then you're going to listen to the mini story, One, two, three, four, five times every day.
243
And remember, relax, feel good, and enjoy the lessons while you listen.
244
Okay, that is it for our main section for this introduction.
245
Next is the vocabulary.
246
I'll see you next time.
247
Bye -bye.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
