I will teach you to become a confident English speaker without schools and rules
I saw saw something unusual this weekend.
Saturday I left my temporary covid home at my parents’ farm and I crossed the Blue Ridge Mountains to visit my sister and her family.
I passed small towns, small shops and drove on narrow lanes.
Schools think English is just a language.
They’re wrong.
It’s more than that.

I found one for $253.
Wow!
Holy cow!
Jeez!
Man, that’s cheap!
Have you ever tried to cross an ocean by yourself?
I haven’t.
I imagine it would be difficult.
What’s the average person’s #1 fear?
It’s not dying.
It’s actually public speaking.
“Fear and frustration.”
When I asked you yesterday to tell me your #1 speaking problem, this is what you told me.
Fear: Fear of mistakes. Fear of what the other person will think. Fear of embarrassment.
Verb tenses…
Vocabulary…
Understanding…

If you’re a member of The Society you know why they’re important and you know how to create a powerful routine for your English.
My morning routine has about five elements to it. I do these same five things, in the same order, every morning. The routine is designed to make me healthier, wealthier and wiser, all before I finish my first cup of coffee.
