As most of you know, Effortless
English is designed for intermediate
and advanced level English learners.

stuck using traditional books and CDs.
ignore all grammar explanations, all drills, all
worksheets

Its our most important Effortless English “rule”.
Listening is especially important for beginners.
Listen to the audio dialogues on the textbook CDs
Listen to the easiest English podcasts
5. Deep Learning Is Even More Important
Beginners need even more repetition than
intermediate and advanced level learners
Deep learning is absolutely vital for beginners
Encourage them to study less vocabulary and fewer
chapters , but to totally master what they do study
In the longterm, this approach is actually much
faster.
6. Laugh, Smile, Play
emotion is far more important for beginners than
the amount of language they learn.
Its vital to link positive emotions to English when
beginning.
Its vital to link fun, excitement, laughter, curiosity,
and passion to the learning process

becomes a habit.

In today’s world, reading is basic to everyday life. As
children we learn to read, and as adults, we read to
learn. We read to learn about the news, to learn
about rules, and to learn about how to do things.
We also use reading to learn English.

reading is important. The more you read, the more
input your brain gets about how the language
works. When you read in English, you can improve
your vocabulary, your grammar, and your writing
skills at the same time.
13. Reading to Learn English Vocabulary
Reading is the best way to improve your vocabulary
Reading provides repetition of vocabulary words you have
already learned to help you remember them.
Reading comprehension is easier if you already know the
keywords in the reading
You learn the meaning and practice the pronunciation of the
most important words that you will later read in video scripts
and reading lessons.

Course
In the 1st English Course reading activities,
the sentences are short with some key
vocabulary

speaker several times as you read along with
the text.
