The reasons you’re not successful in learning English and the methods
to solve them:
1. You evaluate your English level through Listening and Speaking skills,
but you spend most of the time on practicing Grammar, Reading and
Writing:
Are you in this situation? If the answer is “Yes”, I’m sure your Listening skill is bad
and you can’t speak English though you spend a lot of time on English. You spend
most of the time on learning Grammar, Vocabulary, practicing Reading, Writing,
and you hope your Listening, Speaking skills will be better by themselves. It’s
almost impossible.
It’s unacceptable if you don’t know grammar, but how much grammar is enough?
In Chapter Test, I’ll help you check your grammar and if you pass it, it means you
have enough grammar to learn Listening, Speaking skills presented in this book.
It’s also unacceptable if you don’t have some necessary vocabulary in mind if you
want to listen and speak English effectively. In this book, you’ll know how to learn
vocabulary intensively with suitable topics in your own situations and you’ll
never forget them. You also learn methods to remember 500 new words in
suitable contexts within a week to communicate English effectively.
I’ll show you an effective method to help you speak English naturally and fluently
within 3 months. Give me 3 months and I’ll help you become an English expert.
• You don’t know the most effective method to learn speaking skill:
Have you ever practiced speaking English with a friend, a teacher or a foreigner
yet? If you say “Yes”, I’m sure that you’ll cope two following issues:
These two problems come from two larger problems from yourself:
You don’t know how to create content for communication, you therefore
don’t know what to talk about, so you can’t speak English.
You don’t know how to practice speaking English, you therefore can’t
pronounce English fluently and your response is slow, so you can’t speak English.
If you cope these two problems, I’m sure your improvement in English speaking
will be slow and you may learn up to 10 years and still not speak English naturally
and fluently. But if you approach the right method, you only need less than 3
months to communicate English confidently and fluently with foreigners.

THE 3-MONTH ENGLISH
You must know how to create content for communication. I’ll show you how to do
that in Chapter Speaking easily and quickly.
You must practice speaking English by yourself or with others frequently. I’ll
show you how to do that throughout the book so that you can open your mouth to
pronounce English in standard and nature surprisingly.
You worry that you can’t pronounce English in standard? Be relax, I’ll show you
how to pronounce English in standard with your own voice and make it become
your nature voice forever through this book in Chapter Pronunciation.
Speaking skill is only learned through real communication face to face each other
frequently so that you can feel relax when speaking English.
If you sign up for a class, it means that a teacher will manage 20 students, you
only have 1/20 chance to communicate English with your teacher. It also means
that you’re 20 times slower than if you have chance to communicate English face
to face full time with others.
If you sign up for a class and I assume that you don’t speak English well with
others because you’re afraid to speak English (because of embarrassment and not
knowing what to talk about), other classmates will have more chance to talk and
talk, so you almost have no chance to communicate English. Then you’re not only
20 times slower than but also double that number up to 40 times slower than if
you have chance to communicate English face to face full time with others.
Someone still wonders "If learning with a friend, I never have a chance to listen to
foreigners who speak English in standard and I never have a chance to
communicate English with native English speakers".
Completely right! You'll never understand what native English speakers say if you
don’t often hear them say. But is signing up for a class the best way? In Chapter
Listening, I’ll show you how to practice listening in practical situations by the
most standard accent with native English speakers. I’ll show you how to spend
less than 10 US dollars to have a chance to practice listening English with
unlimited time effectively or you want to waste thousands of dollars to go to a
class just for listening to native English teachers? It’s all your decision.
You‘re never fluent in English if you never speak English with foreigners.
Completely right, but it’s just your own thought without considering the whole
process and the advantages if you choose to learn English with a friend:
You learn with a friend and no one laughs you, your progress therefore will
be faster. You’ll speak English freely, confidently and feel relax to correct your
mistakes with a friend. You only achieve proficiency in English Speaking through
real communication, not through any other ways. Learning with a friend will give
you maximum time to practice and practice speaking and you’ll shorten your
learning schedule more than 20 times compared to a class.
You learn English with a friend and your friend can’t speak English in
standard. This is an advantage rather than a disadvantage because it’s a good
opportunity for you to listen to non-standard English. If you can understand a
non-standard English speaker clearly, can you understand a native English
speaker? Of course you can and maybe you don’t believe in your ability then.
Finally, you must also communicate English with foreigners and due to
what you’ve learned with a friend, you've learned so much vocabulary,
pronunciation and talked so much and you’re no longer embarrassed to
communicate with foreigners in fact.
In Chapter Speaking, you’re guided how to create content for communication and
how to find a foreigner to communicate English with no cost. Be patient, you’ll
communicate English naturally and fluently within 3 months.
The best way is to find someone you know such as classmates, colleagues or
friends in the internet through yahoo, skype or facebook ... they often have free
time to practice English with you and they also want to improve their Listening,
Speaking skills.
Otherwise, if you can’t find a friend to study English with, I’ll give you some
solutions:
You can go facebook and type “English” to the Search option. There are
many pages that are held for international students who find someone like you to
study English with. You can make friends with some of them to practice English
speaking.
• From the experience of learning English myself and teaching others, I know that
it’s wrong. If you are aged between 16 and 35, you’ll learn English most easily and
effectively. Your current issue in this situation is that you really don’t know any
method to practice English effectively and that’s the reason you think you can’t
learn English well.
• In addition, you see that children and young persons can speak English very well
but you don’t. The reason these kids can speak English well is because they don’t
feel shy to speak English (because at their age they don’t understand what shy is)
and they therefore speak English so frequently and this frequency helps them
speak English very well. How about you? You feel shy and embarrassed so you
never open your mouth to communicate, that’s why you’re not good at English
Speaking.
Practice speaking English frequently with a friend, colleague to reduce shy and
embarrassment in the first stage of learning English and then practice speaking
English with foreigners, I’m sure you can speak English as well as children and
young persons.
• You think you can’t learn new vocabulary, but the kids learn it very fast. This is
somewhat right and somewhat wrong.
It’s right that you can’t learn vocabulary word by word because it’s boring
and not practical, but the kids don’t feel boring (because they don’t have strong
feeling of boredom as you) so they can learn new vocabulary very easily.
It’s wrong that you can’t learn multiple vocabulary. In fact, from my
experience I know that you can learn multiple vocabulary of the same topic easily
while the kids are hard to do that because they aren’t good at connecting words
and their meaning in topic easily like you.
Learning vocabulary in topic is the best solution for you. With the method
presented in this book, you can learn how to remember 500 new words of the
same topics within a week and you can’t forget these words, and you also know
how to apply these vocabulary in specific situations.
Note:
You need to buy a notebook to complete the exercises in this book if you want to
study English effectively.

Introduction:
Have you ever self-evaluated what level of grammar you have? If not, I’m sure
you’ll spend so much time on practicing grammar, even though basically, you have
mastered grammar at a quite good level, and then you don’t have time to practice
other skills such as listening, speaking, and that’s why you’re so bad at listening
and speaking skills.
Don’t let this situation happen, instead, evaluate your grammar to know what
level you have. With proficiency in English grammar in this book, you can be
completely confident that you can understand 90% of English grammar, then
spend more time on learning other skills to master English Speaking proficiently
within 3 months.
To save time, I’ll help you check your grammar. If you have enough this essential
grammar, learning grammar more and more is almost useless and wastes time.
Method:
S + V + O

1. I eat apple
Type:
Type
Type
Type
Type
Type
The sentence "I often eat two green apples happily at home at 7 pm" includes
20% of the entire English grammar and if you can understand every word, its
type, what it stands there for, so it means that you got 20% of English grammar.
Solution:
Often = Advfrequency: adverb to show how often the action (Verb) happens in the
sentence.
Eat = Vmain: also known as the normal verb, it used to be affected by the subject (S)
and it impacts on Object (O) in the sentence.
Apple = N: Noun used as Object in the sentence to be affected by the action "eat"
caused by Subject "I" in the sentence.
7 English tenses show that your proficiency in English grammar is 30%. If you can
complete the exercises below, it means that you have mastered 30% of English
grammar.
Method:
In English, you use tenses based on words showing time in the sentence. For
example, you see the word "tomorrow" then you know that you must use the
Future tense and the verb form will be "will + V0".
S + V + O Advtime
The Present tense is defined by the Advfrequency (a kind of Adv to show time) such
as "always, often, everyday, everymonth ..." or if you don’t see the word to show
time, it means that you should use the Present tense.
The Present Perfect is defined by the time words "since, for" or some other words
like "yet, already" ...
“Tomorrow ” is Adv to show time in future, it means that we use the Future tense
in this sentence.
Solution:
This ability shows that you’ve mastered 20% of English grammar. If you can
translate the exercise below, you’ve already mastered 20% of English grammar.
Method:
S + V + O
Position: 1 2 3
It means that we always translate English from left to right, Subject (S) first, then
Verb (V), and Object (O) last.
Root structure:S V O
Position: 1 2 3
In English, when we have N phrase that has Adj in front of it, then we must
translate noun first and then Adj and then continue translation from left to right.
Root structure:S V O
Position: 1 2 4 3 5 6
1. He is student
Position:
2. He is a student
Position:
3. He is a good student
Position:
Position:
Position:
Thus, "do" being a main verb or an auxiliary verb depends on its position.
Solution:
1. He is student
Position: 1 2 3
2. He is a student
Position: 1 2 3 4
3. He is a good student
Position: 1 2 3 5 4
Position: 1 2 3
Position: 4 1 2 3 5 8 7 6
The reason we translate this sentence like above is because it’s formed from the
answer and we figure out its position:
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 8 7 6
Asking a question tests your ability to combine between translation skill and
grammar skill. It includes 20% of English grammar. If you can ask question and
number position correctly, you have mastered 20% of English grammar.
Method:
S + V + O
Position: 1 2 3
Position: 1 2 3
If you want to ask about “apple”, you should use the following method:
Position: 1 2 3
In the “W-H” question, the words “W-H” always stand in the first position of a
sentence:
Position: 3 1 2
Exercise: Ask the question for the underlined words and number each word
position:
1. He loves Mary!
Question:
Position:
2. He loves Mary!
Question:
Position:
3. She is beautiful!
Question:
Position:
Question:
Position:
Question:
Position:
Solution:
1. He loves who!
Position: 3 1 2
“Who” stand in position of Subject (S), we don’t need to use Auxiliary Verb like
other sentences.
Position: 1 2 3
3. She is how!
Position: 3 2 1
Position: 3 1 2
Position: 4 2 1 3
In each language (not only English), you’ll have many different grammar points,
but should you learn all the grammar points? It shouldn’t if you don’t want to
waste your time.
For example, in your mother language, are you sure that you know all the
grammar points? The answer is definitely "No". In fact, you’re almost no need to
to learn any grammar points, but you still speak your mother language naturally
and fluently.
It’s the same in English, you don’t need to learn all the grammar points and you
only need to learn some basic grammar points so that you can communicate
English naturaly and fluently.
If you want to speak English naturally and fluently, stop learning Grammar. If you
learn grammar so much, you can’t speak an English sentence out easily. It’s
because you must keep your sentence in correct grammar and it’ll take you so
much time to speak it out. There’s nothing wrong if you learn grammar so much
but it’s not helpful for you if you want to master English speaking.
If you want to speak English naturally and fluently, practice speaking frequently
and forget grammar. Otherwise, grammar for Speaking is simple and if you can
pass the test above and understand the most important structure below, it means
you have enough grammar for learning Listening and Speaking skills.
S + V + O1 + O2
Example:
Unlike English writing (require high accuracy), English speaking only requires
you know how to express your idea so that other people can understand. if you
can understand 5 examples above, you have enough ability to learn to speak
English naturally and fluently.
Example 5: W-H question and you will see “Who” and V in front of O.
Do you understand this structure? I'm sure you've mastered this grammar
point strongly, but why can’t you speak English? There are two main
reasons:
You never practice communicating English (or don’t know an efficient method
to practice communicating English).
You can’t speak English naturally and fluently because you can’t handle these two
problems. It doesn’t come from your grammar, I’m sure you have enough
grammar (if you passed the exercises above) and the main reason is from your
learning method and from yourself.
Summary:
These exercises can be very simple but actually they contains 90% grammar that
you have learned. In fact, complex grammar is only the expansion of the grammar
above to help you learn more vocabulary and practice more. If you can complete
these exercises and practice the skills presented in this book, I'm sure that your
grammar will be equal as a 3-year student.
Because it’s not essential grammar, so with 90% grammar that you have, you
have enough grammar to learn 2 skills “listening and speaking” easily and quickly.
You can completely master these 2 skills within 3 months if you follow the steps
presented in this book.
If you haven’t done all these exercises correctly yet but when you read all my
explanation and you can understand your mistakes and how to correct them, it
means that you’ve master these kinds of grammar. Don’t underestimate your
ability because you usually learned grammar by doing passive exercises in the
past. With the active and interactive exercises presented in the book, you can
completely speak English naturally and fluently as well as learn grammar easily.
With knowledge of English that you have been equipped from the book, you can
completely confident to go to an interview for a job in a foreign company and
have a hope to expect a high salary as you want or you can be confident to go to
an interview for visa for studying purpose or other purposes in Embassy.
