A.J. is American therefore the lessons recordings are with American accent. To be more precise, A.J. uses general American accent which is, I believe, easier to understand than other accents. ?
Currently i am at 7th lesson. So far going okay. Getting some confidence.
Please provide what you have followed english ritual while you were learned these lessons. What i mean to say each day how many times did you study each part(like Mini story, main article etc etc)
When I get the question on which of these two would I recommend better, I usually answer this way:
If you consider yourself a more advanced English learner, I would go with the Learn Real English Conversations (the course I review here: -real-english-conversation-course-lessons-review/)

Hi Rafael, thank you for your comment. Yes, you are right. A. J. mentions Steven Krashen several times in the Power English program. He also reads a small section from his book in one lesson. I agree, I could have mentioned this interesting fact in the review. Thanks ?

Yes, you are right, Power English program is a lot about listening, but in the same time listener is encouraged to answer the questions A. J. asks during the lessons. So it can help you become more confident in speaking too. ?

When you look at kids, you see they learn fast and effortlessly and never rely on textbooks or written grammar rules. Instead, they stick to other mechanisms by noticing and following certain patterns. They learn intuitively and develop the feeling of speech.
I spent much time watching the ineffectiveness of old-school teaching methods. Then I came up with ways to abandon their futility and created more results-oriented practices. In my brand-new teaching system, I picked all my research-backed ideas and packed them into an effortless and entertaining course.
For me, it all started 15 years ago when I began my teaching journey. I remember one of my then students, Gladys, who amazed me with her hard work and dedication. Gladys put incredible effort into learning English, but after six months of textbooks, she was disappointed with her language skills. Learning English effortlessly and, most importantly, effectively remained a pipe dream for her.
Ah! Japanese, that exotic language! Although I am not planning to learn it in the short term, I would go for these lessons if I wanted to learn basic Japanese. The lessons start very gradually, and the grammar is acquired through the content.
On his website, Johan has been continually adding great material for learning French. Besides, he created two courses specifically designed for learning French effortlessly and automatically. His website has become very popular, and it is a must if you truly want to learn French.
Some years ago, I was just starting to learn English and while navigating on the internet I found this website: effortlessenglishclub.com. At first, I thought it was just another web page trying to sell some services, but when I started to read, I realized it was way more than that. Everything I read was about how to learn to speak English with a natural method, approaching to how native speakers learn their first language. I immediately loved this website, and a while ago, AJ Hoge, the founder of effortless English launched a book.
Hi, I'm A.J. Hoge, the director of "Effortless English", welcome to Rule Number 3. So rule number three is very simple, so easy, and yet very, very powerful. In fact, I usually say this is the number one suggestion, the number one rule, the most important rule, and so easy, and it is this: learn with your ears, not with your eyes. Ok? If you want to speak excellent English, you gotta learn with your ears. Listening, listening, listening and more listening is the key to speaking excellent English, it's the most important thing, because if you listen a lot, you're gonna learn vocabulary, you will learn grammar, you will get faster and you will understand better.
Listening is kind of the magic key to great English speaking. There's a lot of research about this and it all shows the same thing: listening is the most important thing you can do. So this tells us one reason you probably have some trouble with your speaking. Why? Because again, when you learned English in school you probably learned mostly with your eyes. Most English schools, middle school, high school, university, private English schools, most of them focus on text books in the classroom. I'm sure this has been true for you also. So text books, text books, text books.
So that's the problem. In school, basically, you learn with your eyes, and basically, in school you learn to write English. You also learn to think about English. So you know a lot about grammar rules. In fact, you know more about grammar rules than most Americans, most Canadians, most British people, 'cause native speakers don't study that stuff very much. Native speakers learn to speak English with their ears, by listening, listening, listening. And that's what you must do if you want to speak English quickly, easily, automatically, correctly, just like a native speaker.
So, let me be a little more specific about listening, because it's important how you listen and what you listen to. The most important thing is you must listen to easy English. It must be easy. What do I mean by easy? Well, you should understand 95% [per cent] or more without stopping, without a dictionary. So that's quite easy, right? You want a lot of easy English listening. Now, you might try children's programmes. You might try children's audio books. Or maybe audio books for, you know, teenagers, like Americans who are 13, 14, 15 years old. If that's too difficult, find something easier. You can listen to programmes for very small children.
Now, if something's more difficult you can still use it, but you usually need the text, you need to be able to read it. So that's also useful, you can get, errr... an audio article or a speech, or a lesson's even, and you have the text, so you can read and listen at the same time. That's ok also. But listening is the most important thing. Listen, listen, listen. Every chance you have. Get an i-pod, you know, get an MP3 player or an i-pod. Listen to English all the time. Listen in the morning when you get up, listen when you go to work, or when you're at home, listen when you're at lunch, listen when you're coming home from work, listen in the evening. Lots and lots and lots of English listening. Lots of easy listening.
That's your number 1 key: listen to podcasts, listen to my videos. I have a free podcast, listen to that. Listen, listen, listen. OK? So it's simple, it's easy and it's super-powerful. Please, do this, focus on listening, not on text books, not on learning with your eyes. Learn with your ears, it's the most powerful rule. Ok? so that's rule number 3. Tomorrow you'll get the next e-mail: rule number 4. I'll see you then. Bye-bye.
