Do Your Ears Hang Low?

Crass Commercial Announcement....

This is where we do some shameless self promoting. You may not think you need to hear or see it but we like to keep some conventions in the online world of promoting. It may sound like hype, it may sound trite but the following points are actually true. Though we may add some exaggeration and drama for effect.

1 YOU CAN speak English fluently and comfortably. You don't need to fear taking tests if you speak English naturally and comfortably. We strive to make you a good communicator who can easily share thoughts and feelings. We do NOT teach to pass a test. We do NOT teach rules, grammar, phonics and such. We focus on developing a skill which does not require logic or academic pursuits. That will almost always sound foreign and forced. Like riding a bike, we do not study the subject to death. We simply get on the darn thing and ride it.

2 Learn to speak 10 times faster than other conventional methods. Just think about it. If English is basically a skill, then practice in speaking is the only way to improve it. In an average classroom setting (both online and real-world) you are lucky if you speak for 6 minutes in a crowded class. Imagine if you were speaking the whole hour! (10Xfaster) Let alone how much the teacher wants to impress you with their caring and lecturing. The Karaoke ESL system is focused on you speaking, not the teacher. You will be amazed at your improvement using this simple technique.

3 You will advance in direct proportion to your own efforts. NOT the teacher's. Contrary to popular belief it is your effort that matters, not the teachers. Unfortunately in conventional classes you are anchored to the teacher's abilities and pace, not your own. Or, the class is holding you back. With Karaoke ESL your progress is in direct proportion to your efforts... always.

4 Practice does NOT make perfect, it makes permanent. This method ensures that you are practicing correctly with a coach at all times. Only PERFECT practice makes perfect. Think about it, if you practice poorly or say a word incorrectly 1,0000 times will that make you perfect? That is the current practice in conventional schools. Repetition is still king in memory but we will not only make repetition support your efforts, it will be enjoyable. You will be repeating lessons with an MP3 to songs that are enjoyable.

5 Use only the best methods and techniques developed by giants in English Coaching. We use principles based on the discoveries of Callan (the Callan Method), Zilberman (Language Bridge), James Asher (TPR), Duke Crawford (Twext) and many others. We use proven techniques that have helped millions overcome their problems with learning English as a skill NOT an academic pursuit. This is critical, if the conventional academic world is so great, why after the years you have sat through classes are you here?

6 Rethink everything you have ever heard about learning a language. Have you always believed that you were a failure or stupid. Was there a time in your life when you thought that learning was
