RULE 7: Listen and Answer, not Listen and Repeat

Today is the last Rule, and it is the easiest:

Most English CDs use "listen and repeat". The speaker says something in English, and you repeat exactly what they said. This method is a failure.


**Rule 7: A Story

Emi, a Japanese woman, had a problem. Her speaking was SLOW. She could not answer questions quickly.

Emi listened to many English tapes and CDs. She listened. She repeated what the speaker said.

Emi emailed me. I recommended "Listen & Answer" lessons. I told her not to use "listen and repeat".

I told her to use "Listen & Answer" Mini-Stories.

I told her that "listen and repeat" is not enough-- when you repeat, you only copy the speaker. But when you hear a question and you ANSWER it- you must think in English.

After using listen & ANSWER lessons for just 4 months, her speaking was fast, easy, and automatic.

Emi was excited. She wrote:

"The lessons are FANTASTIC! I love them. My speaking is so much faster now. I understand quickly and I can now speak English without thinking. I can't believe it!"
