4 GOLDEN RULES

alexander_haupens — 2019-07-26 04:22:59 UTC

1- BE in contact with the English once a day, whether it is at work, at home, reading, listening, watching, writing.... Integrate English as a formal and informal habit in your daily life.

2- STUDY once a week. "Study" means, question, take nothing for granted, dare to explore, be curious, discover by yourself, explain to others, stop on one word or expression and be obsessed with it. Prioritise quality rather than quantity. You can learn in 1 minute or in 10 years. Up to you.

3- FORGET about English and ENJOY. Do something in English without realising which language you are actually using. Just let go and Imagine you are English.

4- LISTEN ... listen, listen, listen, listen and listen

Don’t use English to take pride in yourself. Don’t use English to underestimate yourself. Use English. Simply

alexander_haupens — 2019-07-26 04:32:23 UTC

Use English to do something as if it were a simple tool.
Use what you know, keep learning discretely and humbly but do something.
Remember, the quality of your telephone, whether it is its brand, model or sophisticated features, will never ever determine the quality, essence and impact of the message you wish to send.

Don’t think too much about the sophistication of your English. It is an obsessive brake and endlessly narcissistic.
Do something in English instead. That’s how you’ll end up learning the most.
And if you have nothing to do, you will scarcely learn and will certainly keep on complaining that your level is not good enough.
Your call.

Or perhaps you do not need English as much as you think.

SUCCESS The only time "SUCCESS" comes before "WORK" is in the dictionary.

4 empowering ways to LISTEN

alexander_haupens — 2019-07-26 05:46:24 UTC

Natural listening: Global understanding. You are capable of giving an overall impression of the message. You are more sensitive to the non-verbal dimension of the speech. If you remember 40% of the content of the message , it should be comforting because that's what you do in your own mother tongue)
Identify key information: it's your ability to catch key and relevant information in the "ocean" of a message. Do this by note-taking while listening. Choose what you want to identify and discard the rest of the message.
Listen & Rephrase: it is your ability to re-tell, re-write, sketch in a formal and informal way what you heard by using your own set of expressions, vocabulary and pictures.
Listen, Impersonate and repeat: it is your ability to repeat like a parrot what you heard, imitating the accent, the different patterns, intonation, speed, rhythm, movements and intentions of the speaker. You want to do it like young children do even if you have no idea of what you are saying or what it may mean. It turns out to be the most efficient way to learn. It is essentially how native speakers learn their own language. You will gain fluency, automatism, articulation, intonation, memory, natural speaking.

Forget about your level!

alexander_haupens — 2019-07-26 06:04:12 UTC

Your level is an endless intangible value that will vary depending on the moment, context, your mood, your confidence, your mindset, your emotions, the people you stand with and what you are actually doing. Don't wait to know what your level is to start doing something. Do this thing. Nobody cares about your actual level except organisations which are willing to make a profit.

IMAGINE you are English. IDENTIFY yourself with a native speaker

alexander_haupens — 2019-07-26 06:38:50 UTC

You probably haven't had the chance to grow up in an English environment. Yet, you can identify yourself with a native speaker and imitate as if they were a parent. Copy them, let them inspire you. It is said that using a different language make you a different person. You are not meant to be the same person in English as in your own mother tongue. What's more, you can even change your name and choose the one that makes you feel English when you speak English.

PERFECTION "There is no need to be perfect to inspire others. Let people get inspired by how you deal with your imperfections."

DON'T FEEL ASHAMED TO REPEAT a 100 times

alexander_haupens — 2022-11-27 14:35:02 UTC

The fact of repeating is often banned and not always well-seen in our society. Someone may seem dumb and stupid if they happen to repeat one thing several times.
On the contrary Give yourself the chance to repeat, over and over again. Give yourself the time to do so. There's nothing wrong with it.

Repeat what you say
Repeat what you read
Repeat the same exercises
Repeat slowly then faster and faster.
Repeat to give your mouth and ears time to assimilate the gymnastic and sounds of the language.
Repeat so that you no longer have to think about it.

Research shows the optimum number of repetitions for vocabulary to go into the long-term memory of the brain is at least 17 repetitions.

Experts in sports have established that it takes from 40,000 to 50,000 repetitions to automate and master a particular movement

Listening

alexander_haupens — 2025-03-03 07:31:23 UTC

When learning or aiming to master a language, the first step is always LISTENING and has always been LISTENING.

It’s how we naturally learned our first language, and it remains the key to fluency in any new one. A young child spends a long time constantly listening before speaking or even saying anything accurately.

The same principle applies to learning a second language. Listening lays the foundation for everything else, and it is the best shortcut in y humble opinion.

LISTENING should always be your starting point, especially if you are not immersed in an English-speaking environment on a daily basis.

Listen and imagine
Listen and dream
Listen and enjoy
Listen and feel
Listen and look
Listen and observe
Listen and give sense
Listen and associate
Listen and identify 
Listen and repeat
Listen and repeat obsessively
Listen and imitate
Listen and impersonate
 Listen and read
Listen and read aloud
Listen and copy
Listen and remember what you heard
Listen and explain
Listen and speak for yourself 
Listen and write
Listen and study
Listen and perhaps compare …
Listen and perhaps translate….

If you explore a new language by comparing it or building it from your mother tongue you will certainly last ages to get by. It is a duplicated effort.

Forget your mother tongue for a while and immerse yourself in the new language as if your were visiting a new country. Do not try to make this country look like yours.

The downside of studying too much, of comparing and translating too much is that you end up creating and reinforcing doubt.

Make LISTENING your priority; fluency and freedom will follow.
