Grammar tests do not teach anyone to talk.
Students who pass every exam still freeze in a real conversation. The studying was never the problem. The method was.
Seven rules, one a day. Follow them and English arrives the way your first language did — by hearing it, not by studying it.
Native speakers learn groups of words that travel together. Write down the whole phrase, review the whole phrase. Grammar comes along with it.
Rules teach you to think about English. You want to speak without thinking, so put the grammar books away.
Learn with your ears, not your eyes. Understandable English, one to three hours a day. This is the rule most schools ignore.
Knowing a definition is not enough. Repeat the same lesson many times, until the words arrive on their own.
One story told in past, present, perfect and future. You stop reciting tenses and start feeling them.
Films, TV, podcasts, audio books, talk radio. Textbook tapes sound nothing like the person standing in front of you.
Repeating copies the speaker. Answering a question makes you think in English, and thinking in English is what makes speaking fast.
