Learning methods

There are many different ways to learn a new language, and different methods work better for different goals. The method used in this podcast is designed to help you to speak English. I will say that again; the method used in this podcast is designed to help you learn to SPEAK English faster. If your goal is to learn grammar and to write in English, you may be better off finding another method. However, if your goal is to learn how to speak English fluently as quickly as possible, you are in the correct place.

Why accent matters, a lot!

If you travel around the world, you will hear many different English accents. This podcast is recorded in a Midwestern American accent. This is the most accepted English accent in the United States, and for good reason. It is spoken by more English speakers than any other English accent, and it is clearly easier to understand. As a matter of fact, if you watch national or world news in the United States, you will almost always find that the person reporting the news has a Midwestern accent. This is why it is often referred to as “broadcaster English” or “Standard American English.” A Midwestern American accent is clearly, and by far, the preferred accent when learning English.

How to use this podcast

In this podcast, I will be using a powerful technique that combines story-telling with questions and answers. Have you ever tried to sit down and memorize vocabulary? If so, you probably noticed that it is very, very boring and not very productive. The good news is that there is a better way to learn. Our minds naturally learn better through “context.” Context is basically what is going on in the story; it helps our minds to paint a picture and attach new vocabulary to our memory center, and it helps a lot! This is how children learn to speak fluidly, without ever opening a textbook. In this podcast, I will be telling part of a short story, to provide context. Then, I will ask you a very simple question about the story. There will be a short pause after each question. This is your chance to answer the question out loud, as if you were having a conversation with another person. Short one or two word answers are just fine. Let’s give it a try.

Short (True) story

For now, just listen to the short story, and try to paint a picture of it in your mind.
