Hi, my name is A.J. Hoag. I'm in San Francisco, California. I want to talk to you about how you have learned English in the past and how you can learn English better, faster, more naturally, how you can succeed with English.

Why?

Why is English so difficult?

You have gone to English class and studied English for years.

Maybe you studied in middle school.

Then maybe you continued in high school.

Some of you continued to study English at university or college.

And many of you have gone to private English schools, you've used private English textbooks, and still you cannot

speak English easily. Still it's difficult for you to speak. Still, you think and you translate from

your language to English.

Still you have trouble understanding native speakers.

Still you have trouble understanding English TV and movies. Why? What is the problem? Are you the

problem?

Many students think so.

They think, oh, something's wrong with me.

I can't learn English.

Or I'm not good at English. But that's not the problem. You are not the problem.

Anyone can learn English. Anyone can speak English easily, fast without translating. You can feel comfortable and excited and relaxed when you speak English.

You are not the problem.

Okay, so what is the problem? What's wrong? Well it starts with English

schools and textbooks. The methods they use are failures. Did you know that 95% of students in English schools fail.

95% fail to speak English easily and naturally, like a native speaker.
