More about Spoken English Learned Quickly

    Spoken English Learned Quickly would sell for $139.⁰⁰ if it were marketed like other English language courses. However, we make it available for free downloading from our www.FreeEnglishNow.com website.

    This is the new Spoken English Learned Quickly course for university and professional students. Other courses teach you to listen, speak, read, and write. Most of our students are professional and university students who have already spent many unproductive years learning to read and write English. Now they want to learn to speak fluent English. But when they study reading and writing using other courses, they must study using a computer or printed texts. Our students can use a computer to study Spoken English Learned Quickly, but even with a computer, they only study spoken English. But they can also study using only a Handheld, iPod™ or MP3 player. After all of their years of studying English using written ESL or EFL assignments, our students are finally able to spend all of their time learning to speak English. Why would they want to use a computer in order to study more written English assignments? With Spoken English Learned Quickly the student can study anywhere a Handheld, iPod™ or MP3 player can be used. (The lessons are freely downloadable in HTML, TXT, and PDF formats. All our audio lessons are free and fully downloadable in either WMA or MP3 format. Because they are free, we permit the student to load them on a Handheld, iPod™ or burn CDs for use on an MP3 player. Our CD can be used in either a computer or an MP3 player.) Using others' ESL or EFL lessons, the student must use a computer and usually cannot download the exercises to a Handheld, iPod™ or MP3 player. See more on the iPod™ Downloadable link.

    Spoken English Learned Quickly is used by both beginners and advanced students. Only one course is needed. (See Can beginning and advanced students use the same lessons? for additional comments regarding beginning and advanced students.)

    Spoken English Learned Quickly is unique among English lessons. By design, it simultaneously and equally develops the three elements of human speech. These three elements are:

1. Cognitive learning. Mental activity, including both reasoning ability and memory, is used extensively during speech. Vocabulary retention as well as syntax structure is dependent on this mental activity.
   
2. Motor skill development. A high level of motor skill (learned muscle control) is required for human speech. Mouth shape, tongue position, and air passage manipulation involve a complex series of nerve-controlled muscle responses which are acquired through long-term training.
   
3. Auditory feedback. Hearing is a vital part of human speech because it is the feedback mechanism in the human mind which coordinates the cognitive learning and motor skill development of the speaker.

    If you are not thinking in English, speaking out loud, and hearing your own voice pronounce every English word or sentence you are studying in the English lessons you are using, you are wasting time. Everything you study using Spoken English Learned Quickly will be studied by speaking English. Because of this superior new language learning method which is called the Proprioceptive Method (or commonly, the Feedback Training Method), you will learn to speak English in half the time it would take using ESL and EFL language courses — this is true even when you are using the most expensive language courses available.

    For more information regarding the three elements of human speech, and why they are necessary in language study, see the article A technical comparison of Spoken English Learned Quickly and ESL courses.

    When all of the elements required in normal human speech are equally and simultaneously included in a language program, the speed at which the student will acquire spoken language fluency is optimized. In contrast, when a language teaching method does not implement these elements equally and simultaneously, that method will produce language fluency at a considerably slower rate.

    As we look carefully at the methodology of typical ESL and EFL instruction, we conclude that its failure to equally and simultaneously emphasize the three elements required in human speech is a striking weakness. ESL and EFL curriculum appears to be an adaptation from English grammar instruction which was originally designed for native English speakers. ESL and EFL instruction is not a linguistic approach to language learning.

    On the other hand, by building our course around the three elements required in normal human speech, Spoken English Learned Quickly enables a student to speak English in half the time it would require if he or she were in a college level ESL or EFL course.

    There is no secret formula which makes Spoken English Learned Quickly as successful as it is, even though we feel that the emphasis on the English verb is the best in any English language course available. This course is so effective because the student spends the entire lesson time speaking correct English, simultaneously developing each component required for human speech.

    The best way to learn to speak English is to speak it.

    Yet, we also say that the best way to learn to write English is to learn to speak it first.

    ESL and EFL instructors would almost certainly say that it is their expectation that those finishing their program would be competent in both spoken and written English. Competency in both skill areas is unquestionably the appropriate objective. However, an incorrect assumption then follows that the fastest way for the student to learn to write English is by doing written grammar exercises. The truth is quite the opposite. The fastest way to teach a student to write English correctly is to teach that student how to speak English correctly first. If the student can speak correctly, the transfer of knowledge to writing correctly will be very rapid. Language learning requires the three elements of cognitive learning, motor skill development, and auditory feedback. To disrupt that holistic approach to language learning in order to emphasize writing (a cognitive component) greatly impedes progress in spoken English. It will take considerably longer to teach a student to first write, and then speak English correctly than it will to teach a student to first speak, and then to write English correctly. (Do you need proof? Just ask any international student who has studied written English in school for three or four years how well he or she can speak English.) This is not saying that writing is unimportant. It is emphasizing the point that putting the two components of speaking and writing in their correct sequence will greatly reduce the amount of time required to master both. This is true even when the student is not familiar with the English alphabet. The statement, however, does not preclude the need to learn the English alphabet and gain a basic familiarity with punctuation and sentence formation as an early step in mastering English.
