Lesson 1 – The Right Way to Learn to Speak English (New) Want to improve your English speaking fast? If yes, you must do two things… Number one, spend more time on learning methods that actually work. Number two, stop wasting time on learning methods that don’t work. Make sense, right? But how do you know what works and what doesn’t? The video tutorial below will answer that question.

Summary 1.

There are two ways to learn to Speak English: explicitly or implicitly.

2.

Explicit learning results in explicit knowledge. To use explicit knowledge, you need to think about it.

3.

Implicit learning results in implicit knowledge. To use implicit knowledge, you don’t need think about it.

4.

Implicit learning is the right way to learn English because you don’t need to “think” about English when speaking.

But Wait a Minute! If explicit learning doesn’t work, how come many English students like to learn this way? The answer is simple.

When people learn English explicitly (for example, studying grammar), they feel like they’re learning something. It gives them a sense of accomplishment. When people learn English implicitly (for example, listening to English conversations), they don’t feel like they’re learning anything. So there’s no sense of accomplishment. That’s why most people don’t like to do it.

Learning Activities to Stop Doing 1.

Stop studying grammar. 

Stop consuming articles and Youtube videos about grammar.



Get rid of your grammar books.



Stop going to English classes that teach grammar.

2.

Stop consuming articles and Youtube videos with titles like these: 

Talk, Speak, Tell – What’s the difference?



6 confusing words – small & little, big & large, tall & high



Slang in English – Bodily Noises – FART, BURP, YAWN, HICCUP, QUEEF

These titles have nothing to do with grammar, but they teach English vocabulary explicitly, which results in explicit knowledge. Even if you understand the video/article perfectly, you won’t be able to use that knowledge when speaking.

Here’s What You Need To Do Knowledge is useless without action. Here’s what you can do to make what you’ve learned today useful: 

If you’re currently learning English explicitly (for ex, studying grammar), decide if you want to continue doing that.



If you decide to continue, unsubscribe from this website immediately. This website is not for you. You can find the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email I sent to you.



If do decide to stop, that’s great! Just wait for the next lesson to arrive in your inbox.

Lesson 2 – Why You Must Listen to English Regularly. (Even If Your Listening is Good.) This is lesson 2 the free English mini-course. Lesson 1 is here.

In the first lesson, you learned that they are two ways to learn to speak English. Implicit learning and explicit learning. You learned that you must learn English implicitly to speak English well. In this lesson, we’ll talk about one of the best methods for learning English implicitly… listening.

Let’s Start With Some Bad News for Those Who Hate Listening Here’s the bottom line: if you want to speak English well, you have to listen to English on a regular basis. It’s impossible to become an advanced English speaker without a lot of listening. Why? To speak English well, you need to build implicit knowledge of English. The greater your implicit knowledge, the better. (If you don’t understand this, go back to thefirst lesson.) And guess what…listening is the easiest way to build your implicit knowledge of English. If we take two groups of English students, and we tell the first group to study grammar everyday while telling the second group to listen to English everyday.

Over the period of six months, you’ll find that the second group can speak English much better than the first group — They are better at finding appropriate words to use, their sentence structure is much better, and so on and so forth. Why? The reason is that the second group has greater implicit knowledge of English than the first group. Greater implicit knowledge = better speaking.

Lesson 3 – Improve Your Spoken English Using Speaking Exercises (Page) This is lesson 3 the free English mini-course. lesson 1 | lesson 2

Have you ever tried to talk to yourself in English? Some English students do it. They talk to themselves about random stuff, hoping that they will become more fluent. Unfortunately, this is not a good way to improve your speaking. There are two problems with talking to yourself in English. Problem 1 — Incorrect English Many English students make lots of mistakes when speaking English. They use vocabulary incorrectly. Their speak with improper sentence structure and weird pronunciation. Imagine what will happen if these people practice English by themselves?

Here’s what will happen: their mistakes will get repeated over and over, making it more likely for them to repeat those mistakes in the future. After practicing this way for a few months, they might speak more fluently. But nobody will understand them because they don’t speak English like native speakers do. They’ve developed their own way of using English. This misuse or corruption of the English language is called Engrish. Problem 2 — You’re not learning new vocabulary Most English students have a very small active vocabulary (English words that they can use when speaking), while their ive vocabulary (English words that they know) is relatively large. This means they have no problem understanding other people, but they can’t express themselves clearly.

Most students have very small active vocabulary.

When you start improving your speaking, your priority should be to expand your active vocabulary. But how many words do you learn if you practice by talking to yourself? The answer is zero. You’re not learning anything new at all. The size of your vocabulary stays the same.

So what method should you use? A good method should let you do two things: 1.

Correct your mistakes — This allows you to speak more like native speakers. Which means you’ll be much easier to understand.

2.

Expand your active vocabulary — This includes words, phrases, idioms, and other speaking patterns.

Today, we’re going to talk about one method that fits these criteria: using English speaking exercises.

How Does It Work? Watch this video to see how speaking exercises work: Here are a few things speaking exercises do: 1.

Teach you new words, phrases, etc.

2.

Help improve your sentence structure

3.

Help you form sentences in English faster and more easily

4.

Provide immediate , which allows you to correct your mistakes and improve faster (read more below)

Speaking Exercises Make You Improve Faster The best thing about speaking exercises is that they give you immediate . Using these exercises ensures that you get every time you speak. This allows you to fix mistakes quickly. Without , you’ll never know what you’re doing wrong or what mistakes you’re making. To drive this point home, let compare using speaking exercises with talking to yourself.

Talking to yourself (no )

Using speaking exercises

a Free Speaking Exercise We have a conversational English course which consists of 22 speaking exercises. These exercises teach the most common speaking patterns every English student must know. After completing all the course, you’ll be able to use those speaking patterns in real life. If you want to try it, click the link below to a sample exercise. Sample Exercise

Practice with the exercise and see how much it improves your speaking. Tomorrow, you’ll learn more about the conversational English course.

Lesson 4 – How to Become an Advanced English Speaker This is lesson 4 of the free English mini-course. lesson 1 | lesson 2 | lesson 3

Today, I’m going to reveal how you can speak English better than 95% of all the other English students. I used this exact strategy myself to become fluent in English. And no, you don’t need to live in an English-speaking country or find native speakers to talk to. It’s much easier than that.

Here’s How… Below is the strategy for becoming fluent in English:

The strategy has three essential steps: 1.

Use English speaking exercises to 

improve your basic speaking skills such as forming sentences, asking questions, and using English tenses.



improve your advanced speaking skills such as the ability to tell stories, express ideas, and give long speeches.

2.

After your speaking skills have improved, start using the Imitation technique to expand your speaking vocabulary (and other aspects of your spoken English).

3.

Practice English using the Imitation technique on a regular basis until you’re satisfied with your spoken English.

That’s all you need to do to speak fluent English. Don’t underestimate this strategy because of its simplicity. Mastering a language is not supposed to be complicated. You just have to find methods that work and use them over and over until you get the results you want.

Can you trust my advice?

Chances are, you have spent lots of time looking for ways to master English. You’ve probably followed advice given by English teachers. But my guess is, your speaking hasn’t improved much. How do I know this? Because 99% of English teachers actually have no idea how to master a second language. The only reason they can speak English better than you is because they grew up in an English-speaking country! Unlike those teachers, I truly know how to master a foreign language without living abroad. I became fluent in English on my own, without help from others. I can teach you to do the same. (In fact, to this day, I’ve never set foot in any English-speaking country.)

How to Get Started

Want to use this strategy to improve your own speaking? If yes, great! I have a training course to help you do just that. It’s designed to help you become a fluent English speaker using the strategy you just learned. The course is called English Fluency Training (3rd Edition). This newly updated edition of the course consists of three essential training modules: 

Module 1 — Mastering the Basics



Module 2 – Advanced Training



Module 3 – Becoming Fluent in English

Let’s talk about each module in detail.

Module 1 — Mastering the Basics The primary goal of this module is to train you to form sentences in English quickly and easily. Why is this important?

Expressing your thoughts in English requires you to speak one sentence after another in quick succession. If you can’t form individual sentences quickly and easily, you won’t be able to do that. In order to form sentences quickly and easily, you need a lot of practice. That’s when this module comes into play. This module consists of 11 lessons. In these lessons, you’ll get to practice various kinds of speaking patterns in different English tenses.

Each lesson has two exercises. The first exercise in each lesson teaches you to form statements whereas the second exercise teaches you to form questions. (Asking questions is a very crucial skill. That’s why you need to practice asking questions a lot.) Below are screenshots from some of the exercises.

Will it work for you? I will not tell you that the exercises in Module 1 will work for you. Instead, I’m going to let you try one sample exercise. This exercise will train you to ask questions in English properly. If you have trouble asking questions in English, click the button below to the exercise. Sample Exercise

After you give it a try, you can decide for yourself whether these exercises are effective for not.

Module 2 — Advanced Training Once you’ve mastered the basics (forming individual sentences), you’re ready for Module 2. In this module, you’re going to practice the following high-level speaking skills: 

Telling stories



Expressing ideas



Describing people



Giving speeches

The purpose of this module is to get you ready for having real conversations in English. In order to engage in a conversation, these high-level skills are absolutely necessary. There are 21 lessons in this module. These lessons are quite difficult since you’re required to tell stories, share ideas, or give long speeches. Most of these lessons are supposed to be used more than once or twice since they are difficult to master. The 21 lessons are grouped into five lesson sets. Each lesson set revolves around a specific topic. Below is the breakdown of this module: Lesson Set 1 – Complaining VS. Taking Action (3 Lessons)

Here are some of the key differences between Module 1 and Module 2: 1.

Module 2 focuses on improving high-level speaking skills, which are necessary in real conversations. Module 1 simply focuses on improving your ability to from individual sentences.

2.

Questions in Module 2 are more advanced. Some of the questions are open-ended. Sometimes, you’re asked to give your own opinions or examples. This makes Module 2 more challenging and effective than Module 1.

3.

Module 2 teaches the Present Perfect tense, the Present Perfect Continuous tense, the Past Perfect tense, and the Past Perfect Continuous Tense. These tenses are omitted in Module 1 since they are quite difficult for beginners.

4.

You’re supposed to use the lessons in Module 2 more than once or twice since they are much more advanced than the lessons in Module 1.

While creating this module, I sent the first lesson set to a few of my early customers and asked for . Here’s one of the responses: from Mr. 盧瑞: I watched your lesson just now. It’s very nice. I’m saying it with my sincere thanks. From your previous lessons, I’ve learned a lot, but although they were helpful, they didn’t get us to the most crucial and practical place of speaking, which I think is expressing your own ideas, having a long speech. But now you do get us to there. In this lesson, I’m saying what I am thinking under the environment you provide. I believe this is the best way to the native speakers. This final lesson is absolutely helpful! It pushes me to speak, to express what I’m thinking, which is exactly how language works. It’s a great way I’ve known for learners to get their English fluent, organized. I’m really proud of the quality and effectiveness of this module.

Module 3 — Becoming Fluent in English The course would not be complete without this module.

The first two modules are useful, but they will not make you fluent in English. Even if you complete all other the English courses out there on the Internet, you will not be fluent in English. Why is that? To be fluent in English, you need to have a large speaking vocabulary. You need to be able to use a lot of English words when speaking English. Even if you can speak English with perfect grammar, you won’t be able to communicate well if you have trouble finding the right words when speaking. To become fluent, you need to expand your speaking vocabulary. The purpose of this module is to help you to 1) expand your speaking vocabulary and 2) improve other aspects of your spoken English. In this module, I teach you an advanced technique called Imitation, which guarantees fluency in English (if you practice for a reasonable period of time). It’s a language-learning technique that allows you to 1.

Expand your speaking vocabulary (so that you can easily find words to express your thoughts).

2.

Improve your pronunciation (so that people can understand you easily).

3.

Improve your listening (so that you can understand native speakers).

4.

Improve your grammar (so that you can speak English confidently).

The knowledge you’ll gain from this module will make you a self-learner — someone who can improve his/her spoken English without relying on others.

Imitation is The Best Language-Learning Method in the World

I can say with 100% certainty that Imitation is the best language-learning technique in the world. It’s the reason why I am now able to speak English well, despite the fact that I’ve never been to an English-speaking country. There are countless reasons why Imitation is the best technique for becoming fluent in any foreign language. But here are the major ones: 1.

There’s no limit to how much you can improve. As long as you keep using this technique, your spoken English will keep getting better.

2.

It’s a compound practice. Using this one technique will improve all aspects of your spoken English simultaneously. (This saves you a lot of time.)

3.

You don’t have to find a speaking partner. All you need is some English material, which is readily available on the Internet.

4.

Learning English by imitating native speakers ensures that you will speak English like native speakers.

This module consists of two lessons.

Lesson 1 — the Parroting Technique Although Imitation is very effective, it can be difficult for beginners. So, in the first lesson of Module 3, I share with you another technique called Parroting, which is a simplified version of Imitation. It may not be as effective as Imitation, but it’s much easier to do. Once you’re comfortable with this technique, you can move on to using Imitation.

Screenshots from the video tutorial

Lesson 2 — the Imitation Technique The last and most valuable lesson. This lesson contains two things: Thing #1: Video tutorial on Imitation In this video tutorial, you’ll learn how to practice Imitation. I show you all the steps required and let you see me perform the technique on screen.

Screenshots from the video tutorial

Thing #2: The Guide to Using Imitation eBook (Expanded and Updated) This used to be a 1500-word mini eBook. But thanks to all the questions and from students who purchased the first and second editions of the course, the eBook has been updated to include new information and insights. It now has 5,900 words of valuable content.

You’ll also get this eBook.

In this eBook, you’ll learn: 

Tips for how to practice Imitation effectively.



How to use Imitation to improve your explanation skills.



How to use the concept behind Imitation to improve your writing.



Why I don’t like English material created specifically for English students.



Three criteria you can use to find good English material to practice Imitation with.



And much, much more!

After completing this eBook, you’ll know exactly how to become a fluent English speaker! The knowledge you’ll gain from this eBook is invaluable. With this knowledge, you won’t need to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars on expensive classes or private English tutors. You’ll know how to improve your speaking on your own, at home, using English material you have access to like movies, TV series, podcasts, etc.

How to Purchase the English Fluency Training Course The price of this training course is 69 US dollars. That’s a bargain compared to the value you’ll get. This is a one-time payment. After the payment you’ll get the entire course immediately. Here’s how it works: 1.

You make a payment with your credit card or PayPal.

2.

A link will be sent to your email.

3.

If you don’t receive the link or if you have trouble ing the file, send an email to [email protected]. Your email will be answered within 12 hours. Pay with Credit Card Pay with PayPal

Why is the course priced at $69 You might be wondering why the price of this course is $69, while most courses are priced at $97 or $99. For many people, low-priced products mean low-quality products. So, I want to make it clear that this is definitely not a low-quality course. In fact, now that we’re at the third edition, I know this is the best English course on the Internet. I invested a lot of time, effort, and money to create this course. To create Modules 2 and 3, I hired two native English speakers to help me with the process. One of them is a professional editor. She made sure that everything was grammatically correct. The other is a professional voice over artist. He recorded every lesson in Modules 2 and 3. The reason this course is currently priced at $69 is because I want to make it affordable to more people, especially those in certain developing countries where the cost of living is very low. Pricing this course was a very tough decision to make. One the one hand, I wanted more people to be able to afford it, on the other hand, I was afraid that some people would get the

wrong idea that this is a mediocre product. It’s just human psychology. When something comes too easily to us, we don’t value it. So, the course is priced at $69 for now. But I might consider increasing the price in the future.

What If You Don’t Have a Credit Card or PayPal? Other than credit cards and PayPal, I now accept payments through Western Union. A few people have purchased the course using this method. Here’s how it works: 1.

You send me money through a Western Union agent in your area.

2.

You give me your first name, last name, as well as the “Money Transfer Control Number (MTCN)” that you received from Step 1.

3.

I check with Western Union to see if the payment has been made successfully.

4.

I send you the link for the course and assist you until the course is successfully ed to your computer/smartphone.

With this payment method, I don’t have to pay a credit card processing fee. Therefore, the payment amount I charge will be only $65 instead of $69. However, please keep in mind that you have to pay an additional fee that Western Union charges for sending the payment. (This fee varies depending on what country you’re in.) If you want to purchase the course through Western Union, send me an email first at [email protected].

Lesson 5 – How to Improve Your English Speaking Fast This is lesson 5 of the free English mini-course. Previous lessons: lesson 1 | lesson 2 | lesson 3 | lesson 4

People often ask me how long it took me to become good at speaking English, and they ask me to share my story as well. So, in this lesson, I’ll share with you my story and the biggest mistakes I made during my journey. I believe you can improve your speaking faster if you learn from my mistakes. This is going to be a long lesson. If you’re not interested, you can simply ignore it. But if you do read it, I believe you’ll get tremendous value from it.

How Long It Took Me to Become Good at Speaking English It took me 1 year and 9 months to become quite advanced at speaking English. I know the precise duration because I took notes to track my progress. That’s not a long period of time considering that speaking a foreign language is a very difficult skill to learn. However, if I lost my fluency and had to start over, I believe I would need a lot less time than that since I’m more knowledgeable now. The reason it took me that long was that I spent about a year using English courses that only had easy English lessons. The lessons were good for beginners but it wasn’t effective enough for an intermediate like me. After a year of practicing with those lessons, I realized that I still wasn’t satisfied with my speaking. So, I started studying subjects like skill development, human memory, how the brain works, how children learn languages, etc. I was determined to figure out how to

become truly fluent in English. I spent five months researching and trying new techniques. This is another reason it took me a long time.

The One Technique That Helped Me Improve Very Quickly After five months of researching and trying new things, I invented something similar to the Imitation technique that I teach in the third module of my English course. After I started using that technique, it took me only four months to finally reach the point where I was quite satisfied with my English speaking. Below is what I wrote in my journal after having used the technique for about four months: Today, I had two different opportunities to speak English with others. The first chance was at a meeting where each of us was asked to give opinions about certain things. The second chance was a 1 – 1 meeting. I spoke fluently. I was able to explain everything I wanted to explain. I made small mistakes and couldn’t come up with the right words sometimes, but overall it was impressive. The technique really works! After that, I revised the technique a few times to make it more effective. Eventually, I named the technique “Imitation.” I chose that name because the key idea behind the technique is to imitate native speakers so that you speak English like them.

The Biggest Mistakes That I Made Now that I’ve told you my story, I want to share with you the three biggest mistakes that I made during my journey—mistakes I wish I hadn’t made. If you want to improve fast, make sure you don’t make these same mistakes. Mistake #1: Spending too much time on easy English lessons As I alluded to earlier, I started improving my English by using English courses. The creator of those courses was probably the most famous English teacher on the Internet. (He’s still very famous today.) He told his students to use each lesson every day for at least seven days. I followed his advice. At first, I found the lessons to be quite challenging. This kind of training was new to me. However, since every lesson had the same difficult level, the training quickly became easy, and I stopped improving. In spite of that, I still practiced each lesson at least seven times since I didn’t know what else to do. (At this point, I had not discovered Imitation yet.)

Looking back, it’s really obvious why that was a big mistake. If you keep using courses that only have easy exercises, you’ll never become good enough at speaking English. Even if you repeat those courses a thousand times, your English will still be at the same level since you’re not really challenging your current English level. That’s the reason the EngFluent course has both easy lessons (Module 1) andadvanced lessons (Module 2). I want to keep challenging my students’ English level. Mistake #2: Trying to improve my speaking by talking about random things (to myself) After I stopped using those easy English courses, and before I came up with the Imitation technique, I tried to improve my speaking by talking to myself in English. I would talk about what I did yesterday, what’s my plan for the day, etc. I didn’t work at all. The first problem is that I wasn’t exposing myself to correct English. When I tried to express an idea, I had no idea if I was speaking English properly or not. When I practiced this way, I had a feeling that if there were other people listening to me, they probably wouldn’t understand me since I wasn’t speaking English like native speakers. The second problem is that you don’t learn any new vocabulary if you practice this way. The bottom line is, talking to yourself about random stuff doesn’t work very well. Don’t waste your time doing it. Mistake #3: Trying to improve my speaking using too many methods. Even after I became quite good at speaking English thanks to Imitation, I still hadn’t ditched the other methods that I’d been using. I will not tell you what those methods were. All you need to know is that they were difficult to use and not as effective as Imitation. But I didn’t know that at the time. It took me some time to realize that Imitation is really the best way to improve my speaking. Once I realized that, I stopped using the other methods altogether, focusing solely on using Imitation to improve my speaking. Because of that decision, I improved a lot faster. All right. Those are the three biggest mistakes I wish I hadn’t made. They are the reasons it look me 1 year and 9 months instead of 9 – 12 months. If I had to start over, here’s what I’d do instead: 1.

Practice with one English course until I’ve mastered every lesson. If a certain lesson is too easy, if will not repeat that lesson. Instead, I’ll move on to the next one immediately. There’s no need to spend my valuable time on easy lessons.

2.

Once I’ve mastered the basics, I will start using the Imitation technique immediately. I will not waste my time on any other learning activities that are less effective.

Why I Started EngFluent After I became really good at speaking English, I got really excited. Finally, I had discovered a technique that would allow any English student to become truly fluent in English. And I wanted to share it with the world. At the time, I had always been upset with English teachers on the Internet. Most of them were not sharing anything worthwhile. They tended to give students mediocre advice: 

They’d tell you, “try to speak English as much as possible” or “practice every day,” but they didn’t tell you what to do if you have on one to talk to. (They actually didn’t know how.)



They’d tell you, “don’t be afraid to make mistakes,” but they didn’t tell you how to practice in a way that you will make fewer and fewer mistakes over time. (They didn’t know it.)



They’d tell you, “just be confident,” but they didn’t give you any concrete plan for improving your English so that you can speak confidently. (They didn’t have one.)

The problem with these pieces of advice is that they aren’t very actionable. There’s no stepby-step strategy, no framework, no plan. The advice might “seem” to be useful. But in reality, it’s simply a total waste of time. So, out of frustration, I made one of the biggest decisions in my life. I quit my job as a software engineer and started EngFluent to teach people how to become truly fluent in English. I would do that by sharing proven methods and techniques that were based on personal experience. Staring EngFluent was the best decision of my life. Today, I’m making an impact on people’s lives through my YouTube videos and my English Fluency Training course, and I’m really proud of what I’m doing.

What’s Your Story? Who are you, and what is your story? Are you someone who, like me, isn’t satisfied with just being able to speak “basic” English? Anybody can speak basic English nowadays. If you want to get ahead in today’s world, where competition is global, you need to be able to speak advanced English. It’s the kind of English that can be used in real life. I shared my story with you to let you know that anyone, no matter who they are, can accomplish great things if they take consistent action and never stop moving forward. If you aren’t satisfied with your current English level, keep in mind that it doesn’t have to be that way. If you apply the strategy I’ve taught you, six months from now, you will find that your spoken English has reached a whole new level. I truly believe that my course can help take your English speaking skills to the next level. If you like my approach to learning English, click here to get your copy of English Fluency Training.

This is why you must listen to English regularly. If you’re not willing to do that, the best you can accomplish is being able to speak basic or intermediate English but not advanced English.

But It’s Not Easy Because… Because there are two problems that you might have when it comes to listening: 1.

You have trouble understanding what you hear

2.

You don’t have time to do it. You do it for a while and then you stop because you’re too busy.

Let’s tackle each problem one by one. For problem #1, watch this to find out how to understand better: Summary 1.

Find a media player that can change playback speed so that you can slow down the audio when you don’t understand.

2.

Listen to easy-to-understand materials like podcasts and audiobooks as opposed to movies. (Just forget about movies.)

For problem #2, watch this video to find out how to listen to English regularly if you don’t have time:

Summary 1.

Don’t allocate your free time to listen to English. (Your free time should be dedicated to speaking practice.)

2.

Listen to English during “downtime.” These are times when your mind is not focusing on anything in particular. For example, while riding a bus, walking, exercising, etc.

Here’s What You Need to Do: Knowledge is useless without action. So let’s use what you’ve learned today to create concrete results:

1.

Install a media player that lets you change playback speed on your smartphone. If you use Android, you can use Rocket Player ( version). It’s not free but it’s super cheap.

2.

Find English listening podcasts on subjects that you find interesting (You can start here.), them to your smartphone.

3.

Start listening to English during downtime.

4.

Wait for the next lesson.
