  2. Learning English

  3. How to Speak like a Native Speaker • We all dream of speaking fluent English.  Students always stop and ask me how they can learn the same kind of English that native English speakers do. • I've spent years working closely with students and paying attention to what really works and what doesn't.  I think I can finally answer this question.  Some of these ideas you may have heard before.  Maybe some are new.  I hope you think about each tip carefully because they really work.

  4. Make It Fun • 1. You need to make English learning fun.  Humans are big dreamers and big quitters.  Think about how many plans and dreams you have had in your life that never happened.  I don't want you to feel bad.  You are not alone.  • We are all like this.  I have had hundreds of plans and goals that I never completed.  If learning to speak English is boring then you will quit.  You might be able to keep going for a couple of days or even weeks, but sooner or later you will think of some excuse to quit.  

  5. how to make it fun? • 2.  The question now is how to make it fun?   It's a lot easier to say "make it fun" than to actually make it fun.  I understand that learning can be quite boring.  It's a challenge to make it interesting.  • Here is the secret.  Don't study English.  Use English to study something else.  I'm sure you like certain English TV shows or movies.  I have created a way to actually learn from these.  I explain over 500 slang meanings and funny stuff that you would never learn in school.  All of this stuff is important and useful.  That's the only reason I teach it. 

  6. how to make it fun? • Learning English is not about learning a lot of words, it's about learning the "right" words.  8 year old kids speak English fluently with a very small vocabulary.  They know how to use what they know. Watching movies and TV isn't the same as studying. •   You need to have explanations or your level will stay where it is.  Your listening will get a bit better, but then it will plateau.  (I guess you might not even know the word "plateau")  Maybe you can guess it but do you use it?  I will make you use words like this.  If your level "plateaus" it means that it stops getting better.  It just stays the same.  Most people have this problem.  There is a "sticking point" and most English learners never get past it.

  7. Copy your favourite voice • 3.  Copy your favourite voice.  If you have pronunciation problems, which you probably do, then choose some native speaker and copy them.  You will probably need to listen to about 25 hours of them speaking and then you will be able to speak like them.  • It is not quite natural.  It will help if you record yourself speaking and listen to it.  You might be shy to do this in the beginning, but after you get used to it, I am sure it will be no problem.  You can compare your own pronunciation with the pronunciation of the native speaker. 

  8. Copy your favourite voice • Most people don't do this part and their pronunciation never improves.  They learn some bad habit and it just stays there.  People can understand them but they know the accent is strong.  • If you do this last step, I'm sure that people will think you were born in an English speaking country.  It's so amazing and I've seen it with my students.  It only takes about 3 to 4 months to totally change your accent and voice for all English words.  It's really cool actually.

  9. A SAILOR has told Australian authorities she saw a burning Boeing • A SAILOR has told Australian authorities she saw a burning Boeing 777 near Thailand the morning MH370 disappeared. • Katherine Tee said she was sailing across the Indian Ocean in March when she saw what she believes was the missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 billowing black smoke across the night sky. • MISSING PLANE: Where on earth is MH370? • GLOBAL TRACKING UPGRADE: Trying to avoid a repeat of MH370

  10. The British woman was sailing from Kochi, India, to Phuket, Thailand, with her husband, Marc Horn, when she saw what appeared to be a large aircraft on fire. • “I thought I saw a burning plane cross behind our stern from port to starboard, which would have been approximately north to south,” Ms Tee wrote on sailing website,Cruisers’ Forum. • “Since that’s not something you see every day, I questioned my mind. I was looking at what appeared to be an elongate plane glowing bright orange, with a trail of black smoke behind it. It did occur to me that it might be a meteorite. But I thought it was more likely that I was going insane.”

  11. n Tuesday she told Thailand’s Phuket Gazette newspaper that she was on night-watch on the couple’s 40 foot sloop on the night of March 7-8. • “I saw something that looked like a plane on fire. That’s what I thought it was. Then I thought I must be mad. It caught my attention because I had never seen a plane with orange lights before so I wondered what they were,” she said.

  12. “I could see the outline of the plane, it looked longer than planes usually do. There was what appeared to be black smoke behind it. • “There were two other planes well above it — moving the other way — at the time. They had normal navigation lights. I remember thinking that if it was a plane on fire that I was seeing, the other aircraft would report it.” • The couple arrived in Phuket two days later, on March 10, but Ms Tee didn’t report her sighting to the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) until Sunday.

  13. Mr Horn, 50, then posted maps of their yacht’s route on sailing website, Cruisers’ Forum, where they discovered that their yacht was in the vicinity of one of MH370’s projected flight paths on the night it disappeared. • Ms Tee now believes they were near one of the projected flight paths for the aircraft. • She said a map revealed that the aircraft would have passed the yacht astern. • “This is what convinced me to file a report with the full track data for our voyage to the relevant authorities,” she said.

  14. The 41-year-old, who spent 13 months at sea, said she did not report the incident at the time because she was having marital issues and thought she might be going mad. • “So when we hit land everyone was talking about the missing plane and asking if we’d seen anything. Since I doubted what I saw and was emotionally in a bad way, I brushed over what I thought I’d seen … Besides, I thought they’d find it,” she said. • But media reports at the weekend about the embattled search for the missing plane prompted the couple to recheck their sailing logs. • “But tonight I heard that they were looking in the wrong place, so HWMO (her husband) and I looked back through our GPS logs and lo and behold, what we saw was consistent with the confirmed contact which the authorities had from MH370,” she said.

  15. How can songs help me learn English?

  16. Learn with video • if you are able to watch YouTube videos in your country, the Lyrics Training site could be a useful and fun site for learning English with songs. Learners watch a video, listen to the song, and type the correct songs words in the blank spaces on the transcript below the video. At the end of the song you are awarded points for your correct words and how quickly you completed the transcript. • You can choose the level of English you want to try, and you can search the site for your favourite artist or song.  • The images in music videos can help you understand the meaning of the words in the songs, although sometimes you might it difficult to concentrate on the words of the songs when you are watching the video for the first time. http://www.lyricstraining.com/index.php
