8 Step Method 1. Learn Pronunciation from a native speaker. Your country has specific sounds and so does English. Learn the equivalents in your language e.g. tch in Portuguese is ch in English. Learn the new sounds aswell. Germans say V for V and W. Push your lips out and say Water. 2. Learn all the words which are similar to your Language. This technique was originally suggested by Dr Bruno Furst. There are often many patterns between the languages. http://barnesinstitute. 2freedom.com has some collections available for free. By learning, this way you can pronounce and write in a similar way to your language and your memory will increase. 3. Learn in opposites. For every word there is an opposite. When you learn one word, learn the opposite at the same time. It is possible to communicate with one word in every language. Coffee! Coffee? Coffee. Coffee and. Coffee with. Coffee!? Tea is the opposite of Coffee or no coffee. More literal opposites include Up/Down, Left/Right A.G. Hawke is certified in 7 languages and uses this technique. This technique will improve your Memory and Understanding. 4. Learn the Prepositions correctly. Prepositions do Not translate with a dictionary. They are Kinaesthetic. They are feelings. Russians imagined standing On the road and they say I'm on the street. English imagine the street as a box with the buildings on both sides and the road below so I'm in the street. Practise them in patterns and be the 2nd person to use prepositions correctly (I am the 1st) 5. Learn Verbs and Nouns in Example Sentences. English people have no idea what a phrasal verb is or the present past continuous backwards forwards lemon and lime form of a word. Computers and robots talk like that. Instead Learn Verbs and Nouns. This is how English people learn at school. Practise speaking with a native speaker using the verbs/nouns and add the Prepositions you have already learned. 6. Speaking. Talk, talk, talk and talk some more. Your Professor should correct you continuously until you speak correctly. You will speak perfect English today! is the attitude of an awesome teacher. If the student has very basic English then Flash Cards with both languages on are excellent and give the student a real sense of progress. 7. Children's books. An extra great thing for students also is to have a children's grammar book for homework. Children's grammar books are so simple even a child could use them. There is a list of 10 pronunciation patterns which are all similar so when the student understands they will find it very easy to remember. A children's picture dictionary is also a brilliant thing. They have the pictures and 3 patterns of sentences with synonyms. These also make a class easier to teach. 8. Computer Programs Through learning Portuguese I have discovered a large number of excellent language learning programs. In some ways they are better than teachers and I think you should use computer programs together with a teacher to double your learning. Learn new words and patterns with the computer and test them with a teacher. Rosetta Stone is brilliant for learning patterns, pronunciation and uses pictures to make you remember even more. Before You Know It gives you perfect memory of phrases and words with the pronunciation emphasised. You can slow the voices to half speed to really focus your pronunciation and I have remembered phrases 14 days after I learned them. FSI is the most comprehensive course I have ever taken, unfortunately its not available for learning English. Fast free translators and dictionaries such as Wordweb and Freelang are excellent additions to your studies. Copyright 10/09/2008 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media

For Advanced Students

An advanced student doesn't have to learn more English. They can already communicate. So its important to teach them useful things which add something to their lives. I recommend: Learn the things for your job. Ask students about their jobs and offer to let them bring work books to your class. Learn things about money. A student has asked me many times to help him with his bank account (he used to work in a bank aswell). The student is paying complete attention to whatever you teach them and will remember more if the subject is important to them. I have found money to be an amazing motivator for me learning a 2nd language. I will read a foreign magazine for hours because of the money hidden inside the language (i'm going to find more of it). If you want to double the students motivation then use: Friends and Relationships. If you can teach a person the skills to talk to the opposite sex they will find themselves happy to practise and may keep their teacher longer. Social skills are a great motivator. Do what you love. What do you love doing? If the person loves History (some people do) then grab a 50p history book from a charity shop and make them read it. In terms of pronunciation you can have a student read their favourite subject and correct/explain as you go along. This type of class is maximum benefit for student and teacher. Most students are happy to learn by themselves and just want a teacher to correct them. Give them what they want. Read a newspaper. Specifically, read your favourite section. Girls go to the Star signs whilst Guys go to the Sports. In London they give Free newspapers in the street and there are local free papers elsewhere in the country. Study for an exam. These include the Cambridge First Certificate (FCE), Cambridge Advanced Certificate (CAE), IELTS, English GCSE. Having an exam to study for gives you a definite target. Cambridge covers 5 parts of English and so will offer you a variety of skills which you can use before, during and after the exam. IELTS has no pass grade and the English GCSE is taken by English people at 16 so its a good comparison to native English. Learn idioms and phrasal verbs. These give you an extra something and link the other parts of English together. An idiom often explains certain situations very effectively. Phrasal verbs are a part of native English. We (English people) don't ever learn these and so we my find them hard to explain. They are worth studying and a quick tip is that: Phrasal verbs are usually 2 words which mean the same as 1 word e.g. carry on = continue

Type in your name/nickname and email address and you will receive free information on your favourite subject. They usually arrive every 7 days which gives you plenty of time to read the best ones. Learn from many methods and sources. Every method and techniques has several benefits. Some are better for memory, others for pronunciation and native English is the best thing about a few methods. You will get the most learning from the most sources. And the patterns you make will be more accurate. If 3 different methods all say the same way to learn Verbs then you know learning this way is a good idea. I meet students who studied with only 1 method before me and they were sure about the things they knew. To be sure you need to hear 3 different people say it correctly for example, then it will be obvious this is correct. Music. I remembered every word from every song I listened to when I was young (and still now I think). I even remember words from Portuguese artists and I don't speak Portuguese fully yet. Get the music from your target language. And make patterns. I heard students say they only want to learn British English and English culture is quite Americanised anyway. If you learn American and English together you will hear the similarities between the 2. Then you will realise if a word is used in both countries its essential to remember.

After the Class

Write a Story: A polish student told me he learned german in 1 year by taking his notes from the class and writing a story. This story will contain all of the new things you learn in my class. Then in our next class you read the story to me whilst I correct your pronunciation and writing. Awesome, isn't it. Remember 87% of what you learn: To remember 87% of what you learn, Practise it immediately, Review the things you learned after 2 hours (or at the end of the class), Write the notes into your own words and then Read your notes the next day. Its not essential to do all of these parts and if you do you will learn more. For example if I test you at the end of the class then its not necessary to rewrite the notes at home. They are more or less equal in value. Dicas Quentes Hot Tips

Techniques to Use with Every Stage

Patterns. A pattern is when we do things 3 times. 3 times is a pattern. 1st time: it could be a coincidence. 2nd time: lucky 3 times: its a pattern. Something is happening here. Its repeatable and predictable and probably worth remembering. Teach students in 3s. They understand patterns. Its a thing humans understand. With pronunciation I suddenly write 3 words with the same letters an ask them to pronounce. Sometimes they realise that I wrote them because they sound the same and say them correctly for the 1st time. You can say things in a pattern New pattern technique: if there was something you made mistakes with e.g. the/a/an were not in sentences. Then translate 3 examples of the correct English into your language. The government believed The USA is a big place I like the UK When you translate you will See some similarity. For example I did this with a polish guy and 2 of the sentences translated the same. Both sentences did not have The. In English a collection of countries/states/counties is The UK, The US, The USSR. In polish The is missing. And it is still equal. Between portuguese and English > vai = going to. If you look for similarities you will find them. OK OK. Native Level English is the ability to translate 5 different phrases/sentences with identical meaning immediately. Your language is wonderful and you coffee is great, now decide to learn things quickly and easily. To book your 10 an hour English Classes Call 07963960499 or email problemsolver@techie.com Sequence: How do we remember days, months, numbers and similar things. Through sequence and due to this being popular in every language we can make use of it. A student didn't pronounce Thursday correctly and mixed it up with Tuesday (as many people did). So I say the days either side of Thursday: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday then Thursday, Friday, Saturday then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Then I ask the student to say all the days to me in sequence and they do so perfectly. This technique makes use of patterns (do things 3 times), grouping (days) and of course sequence. I use this for numbers aswell and because the student already has numbers/days stored in their mind this way. They recognise it immediately. It is familiar, which is according to Virginia Satir the greatest need within humans.

Personal Flash Cards: Students often have plenty of time to, learn new things. A spare hour or 2 during the day and sitting on the train/bus staring into space. I began reading because I had a 1.5 hour journey to college everyday. Reading seems very exciting when there was nothing else to do. Teachers can create flash cards from the improvements the student must make. Students are very willing to use the cards. They create the opportunity to practise the things you teach thus a person progresses to the next level. Reward Good Behaviour: A teacher smiling, giving applause, looking excited or anything you can think of can show a person they are doing well. When you was a baby people were so happy and excited when you said one word. This amount of joy can inspire anyone, even adults. I recently started giving students chocolate if they do well, you can do this if you like making people happy. Maybe you can direct exceptional students to extra free resources e.g. http://barnesinstitute. 2freedom.com I remember Maths at primary school. I was really enjoying the books, I did all the exercises and then I asked for another book or more exercises. Primary Teacher didn't give me anything. So 20 minutes of unfun and I loved maths. But then when they started teaching silly stuff at secondary school I stopped. I could be doing a maths degree right now (boring) if a teacher had given me extra maths books. Help your students learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OK, OK If they asked to learn something in the class and you don't know about it yet, google it later and send them the information you find. They will appreciate it and you will make more money in the future. If you are learning English then reward yourself. 5 cans of beer or a big bar of chocolate after studying all day is good for you and You deserve it. MP3 Recorder: This can be for teachers who record their classes to give to students or for people learning English who can record new words/phrases they learn during the day. This is a useful tool whenever you decide to use it. I bought a portable MP3 player for 17 and discovered it has a recording function. The quality is surprisingly good also in fact its the best recorder I have had and that includes large stereo systems. Use English to Describe English: If you want True native English then forget grammar terms. Past present continuous backward forward lemon and lime is Not English. Robots speak better English than grammar books did. If a word is Continuous then its true for yesterday, today and tomorrow. e.g. He drinks coffee (everyday). Everytime you Use English to describe English you make the memories deeper and its quicker than translating between languages. You will Fill your mind with synonyms automatically this way.

In a sky full of people Only some want to fly isn't that crazy?
Read sentences backwards: I'm learning some Portuguese now and to make my pronunciation of sentences smooth i'm reading them backwards. When you pronounce a sentence backwards your brain goes oh this is easy forwards, it was hard backwards. People learn by comparing what's different.

Accelerated English
Through my own experience of learning languages, teaching languages and reading the most advanced methods available; I have discovered many techniques which speed up learning. These will be listed here and I expect you to practise each one of them immediately. All new learnings go into short term memory. If you practise it now then it will go into long term memory. The strength of a memory is created through feelings, sounds, smells; the parts of experience. The more of these you use the stronger the memory is. Words linked to pictures are easier to remember. So imagine what the words mean. Imagine the new English words you learn written on the actual thing. So you see a door with the word Door written on it and maybe someone saying can you open the Door please. To remember 88% of the things you learn its recommend that you: Immediately practise Test after a few minutes. Review after the first hour. Quick review when you wake up Quick review after 7 days. Quick review after a month. You can adapt this schedule yourself to increase your memory. For example I make students write/say 3 examples when they 1st learn something. Then I review at the end of the class and I suggest they write my notes neatly at home (this is optional) of course in the next class I will hear and see if the corrections are there; so another review happens. Learn the specifics: Nouns and Verbs are easiest to learn 1st Context is useful. Say can I have 20 on my Oyster card please and the person puts 20 on your oyster card. This is proof for your mind that those words in this situation are correct. Because language represents things. If you get what you want then the words are correct. Short songs such as nursery rhymes as excellent for memorising pronunciation, words and structure.

Classes should have 5 minute relax times in the middle. Sorting ideas and words into categories improves memory. Learning the principle is easier than individual examples. Meaning is vital to memory > so make sure you learn meaningful and useful things. Context is important. Learning by example is better than repetition. The more general the examples the more situations you can apply the information in. Rhythm and rhyme helps memory. Its organised and creates emotion. Memory is an associated connection of various ideas. So Mind Maps are excellent tools for remembering things. Sentences are easier to remember than individual words and so stories are great for building word structure on top of previous learnings. We all have photographic memory. Remember the last film you saw. Cool. Use this skill to learn your new languages. Music uses the right brain which a lot of note taking learning doesn't. Reading English with your original language translated next to it; allows your unconscious mind to translate the text with your peripheral vision. Show the student the English in 3 senses: sight, sound and feeling. e.g. high 5, thumb war,

Learning Strategies
Affirmations Say each affirmation until you believe it. When you are smiling and happy you may believe it. English is easy. I can learn anything. I'm great at a many things. I am a genius. I can learn English in 7 days. I am totally brilliant. When I have mastered English I am going to teach it. When I have perfected English I can teach my own language and earn 20 an hour. I am going to speak English better than the person who taught me. I speak to native English speakers all the time. This is soooooo easy. I learned 1 language before I was 5 with no grammar, So learning English now, is going to be very easy. Write your commitment. Make yourself a Target, a Goal and do it Now!! e.g. I am going to learn English quickly & easily. I am going to learn English within 1 month. (Write these before you come to your 1st Barnes Method class) I am going to learn English by: (e.g. The 25th of December) Now write some of the affirmations below with a pen > WRITE HERE>

Messenger Method
Translate everything the other persons writes and make sure you Translate the meaning. Its ok to translate literally at first (the words) then immediately change it into something Native speakers understand. This will develop your translating intuition and make your response time even faster.
Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says:

>new technique listen to Russell Brand Radio show or Micheal Neill from internet then ask me questions while you listen i will listen to portuguese music or watch a film and ask you questions i like about songs that you learn what the words mean and then everytime you listen you remember the words girl told me that "a onde" in a Tribalistas song means Where are you i remember everytime i hear the song there's a bit with Portuguese rapper Sam the Kid he says "chhhhh calma atmosfera" and i remember "shhhh calm atmosphere" em ingles so let's take this to the next level

Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says: Barnes says:

so maybe learning from music is most effective method?

Learn from music: Listen to your English music while using messenger (msn) with a native speaker. Ask questions about what you hear. Pery useful method. Copyright 10/09/2008 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media

Pronunciation, Patterns and Adjustments
English is Not phonetic
The word phonetic in English is not spelled with an F. It is pronounced as Fonetic which could confuse users of languages like Portuguese (fonetica). If you learn the language as patterns then it will become easier. The reason I can say 90% of English correctly is because my brain looks for visual similarities. My brain also remembers similar words as only one sound. Examples of this I often teach are by/bye/buy and to/too/two. These words all sound the same (equal) because its easier to remember them like this. Read this list and when you know the pronunciation of 1 of the words then you can pronounce them all the same. Trust me, I am a doctor. If I hear another really?! I am going to make you listen to English people. Now, us English people all understand this system, so you can too (to/two).

Because these are the 100 most popular words. Learn them! Learn the pronunciation with a native speaker and practise forming them into 2 and 3 word groups. e.g. At the. there at. and now with some context. At the time. At the moment. At 2 o clock. At the cafe. Remember to say these phrases with the same emotion and gestures you do in your language. This improves your memory. Write a relevant example sentence for every word.

Adjustments Languages such as Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are very similar to English and to each other. Yes, yes your country is wonderful and your coffee is great, relax now. With Portuguese you can change many of your words slightly (adjust them) and they become English words. In fact you don't even have to change your pronunciation. The meaning of communication is the response you get. If people understand you then you are correct. If you want an English accent then get it later, maybe a day later if you want to. The main point of this is many Portuguese words have an extra Syllable. For example Ter-mo (Termo) in Portuguese is 2 syllables and Term in English is 1 syllable. Just by pronouncing 1 syllable less, you have the English word. No translation required. Even with an accent English people will still understand you, so get going. Pronunciation Adjustments: U is pronounced as You in English, U = You, Here's a list, feel free to add to it (use the back of the paper): Portuguese Termo Problema Permitir Progresso Estudar Publico Parte Usa Atividade Garantia Rapido Acordo Sucesso Forma Detalhe Experincia Bsico Dia Fotografia Estudante Minuto Perfeito English Term Problem Permit Progress Study Public Part Use Activity Guarantee Rapid Accord Success Form Detail Experience Basic Day Photograph Student Minute Perfect

Hallo, ich war ein knappes viertel Jahr beruflich in London (Rechtsabteilung einer Baufirma). Die Zeit wollte ich vor allem nutzen, um mein Englisch zu verbessern. Es war nicht so einfach, eine adquate Mglichkeit hierfr zu finden. Ich habe mir diverse Angebote angeschaut und leider fast vier Wochen verloren, ehe ich das Passende gefunden habe. Ein Problem war, dass es nicht so viel Angebote fr Leute gibt, die den ganzen Tag im Bro sind und erst nach 18.30 Zeit haben. Sprachkurse wren nicht effizient genug gewesen. Auerdem htte ich zu viel Zeit verloren, um zum Kursort zu kommen. Ich habe also versucht "one-to-one" Trainer zu finden. Nachdem ich einige Sitzungen mit preisgnstigen Anbietern hatte, die jedoch aufgrund nicht vorhandener Kompetenz nicht zielfhrend waren, habe ich etablierte Anbieter probiert. Die waren leider teuer und unflexibel. In Woche fnf habe ich einen talentierten und zuverlssigen "teacher" gefunden, mit dem ich sehr effizient bis zum Schluss durchgearbeitet habe. Er hat meine Fehler sehr schnell analysiert und zielgerichtet gegengesteuert. Obwohl wir jeden zweiten Tag eine Sitzung hatten, wurde es nie langweilig. Wir haben z.B. auch Themen vorbereitet, die ich am nchsten Tag in Besprechungen abhandeln musste. Von Vorteil war auch, dass er ohne Zusatzkosten nach Canary Wharf kam, sodass unsere Sitzungen im Anschluss an die Arbeit stattfinden konnten. Leute, die in einer hnlichen Situation sind und nicht vier Wochen verlieren mchten, knnen "Perry" unter folgenden Koordinaten erreichen: 07963960499 oder problemsolver@techie.com. Lars
