Do you still remember the second rule, "no more grammar rules"? You might have thought that it was silly not to study grammar rules. But there is a proven technique that you can just learn grammar rules without even studying it. Yes, the grammar rules are not supposed to be studied by itself. In fact, it's like the way we learned our mother language, through excessive listening to what our elders were speaking about.
Point of View stories are brought to you by all the great English teachers these days because they know that it's a cutting edged and proven technique that you and I can use it. Listening to point of view stories is the most effective way to learn to speak English fluently and correctly. For those of you who are not sure what Point of View stories is about, it is a mini story which tells you with 3 tenses (present, past and future tense) and the storyteller is telling the story as if he is part of the story.
For example: the story goes: "there is a boy, named Mg Mg. He goes to the food court and buys himself a meal." So, this is the present tense. And for the past tense, "2 years ago, there was a boy, named Mg Mg. He went to the food court and bought himself a meal." And for the future tense, "6 months from now, there will be a boy, named Mg Mg, he will go to the food court and buy himself a meal." Finally, the storyteller acting in the story, "My name is Mg Mg. I went to the food court and bought myself a meal."
Of course, the real mini story is a bit more difficult and longer. But listening to the mini stories are really powerful to be able to speak English effortlessly. Remember to learn deeply. Repeat it as many times as you can.
