Description

This video is for people who want to be able to "think" in English. For that, you will be challenged to repeat some sentences, as if you were a child learning to speak (pretty much like a native). After that, you will have to answer the questions and make questions. You don't need your mother tongue for that because it really simulates the learning of your first language. After watching the videos, you will have the choice of learning grammar through a simple explanation, but remember, the order proposed for this course is to listen, repeat and speak right away. Once your brain becomes used to the order of sounds that are presented to you, you will no longer make mistakes in conversation, since everything that breaks the order of sounds that were practiced will sound as an error. Your brain will not know why, but will just point out there's an error. It's very much like your mother tongue, you identify mistakes, but don't need to worry about grammar all the time. This method of learning will help you use the same structure for several other cases in real life in English, and will prevent you from thinking about grammar. This is what is called fluency!
