Marcel S. says that his dream is “to travel around the world.”
Srinivas K. says that he wants to “share my thoughts and views through English.”
And Dr. T says, “to make friends.”
Here’s a secret almost no teacher talks about.
Throw your grammar book in the fire.
Delete your grammar app.
Turn off the YouTube grammar teacher.
And start right now.
The shortest path to your dream is to just get started.
We learn best by solving problems and figuring things out.
Not by studying and preparing.
You can call it: Ready. Fire. Aim.
Or as I like to call it, Jump out of the window and then build your airplane.
START NOW
In the cafes in Prague, you can see tourists studying maps.
I guess they don’t want to get lost.
But the reality is, you’ll get there faster, you’ll learn the streets better, and you’ll see more if you just step outside and start walking.
I used to have a friend who was going to be an entrepreneur; he had an idea for a great business.
Whenever we talked about his idea, he’d tell me about the trainings he was taking and the preparation he was making.
Years later, he was planning this great business.
Meanwhile, I’ve launched many projects, businesses, websites, courses, etc. Some have crashed. Some have done well. But I’ve learned much more than him.
RESEARCH
Here’s some interesting research.
Two groups of English students…
One went to English class every day: grammar rules, studying, tests, etc.
The other went to a history class (in English).
After a few months, guess which group had better English?
The answer: B
They learned more English by using their English than by studying about English.
That means, whether your dream is to travel, to talk, to write, to make friends…
The fastest way to get there is not to prepare.
The fastest way to get there is to start right now.
CONCLUSION
The fastest way to get to your dream?
Start now.
Travel. Teach. Launch. Build. Meet.
Whatever it is, do it now.
And do it in English.
Thank you very much for your information about who to study English.
You’re very welcome!
