This is an English course that is really about ‘the psychology of learning English’. It starts at the deeper level of strategies, methods etc. So you need be ok with that. It’s more about the “big picture” of English learning (habits, daily methods etc) and less about the small details of English grammar, English pronunciation etc. I will cover those small details in future English courses
Description
This English learning course has four main parts. Using correct English memorizing, English reading and English listening methods will result in a higher level of English speaking fluency, so we will look at these different skills in detail, one by one:
1) Memorizing English Vocabulary Effectively
The first part focuses on memorizing English vocabulary in a real way. A lot of students have a habit of translating between English and their first language too much when they read or listen to English vocabulary. I believe that this results in English vocabulary that is very easy to forget. The ‘meaning connection’ is very weak when only using translation to understand meaning. So when students try and speak in English, the words don’t come out very quickly, and the student needs to search hard for the English vocabulary. In this section I talk about methods which you can use to create really deep, strong, natural connections and meanings for English vocabulary, without relying on translating so much, which makes remembering the English vocabulary when speaking much, much easier. This is English vocabulary which is harder to forget, just like the vocabulary of your first language.
2) English Reading Fluency Strategies
The second section focuses on English reading strategies. For building English vocabulary, some students like to create flash cards, or study English vocabulary lists, or just rely on reading English grammar books or English text books. In this section I will explain how using some different reading strategies and different types of English content can help you to build your English vocabulary in a much more effective and natural way. The ‘memorizing English vocabulary’ technique should be used with these English reading strategies together for the best results. I also talk about some ideas and resources that you can use to find the best English reading material, depending on your level of reading fluency in English. Gaining a high level of reading fluency is hugely important before moving onto English listening and speaking fluency, because it’s the easiest and most logical to achieve first.
3) English Listening Fluency Strategies
Just like reading in English, developing English listening fluency is hugely important for building a large English vocabulary, but it can be done the wrong way (mentally translating everything when listening) or it can be done the right way (the natural way of listening). I talk about how to you can improve your English listening fluency by using certain learning methods, and I talk about some English learning resources/websites etc where you can find great English listening content. English listening content that you will naturally be interested in. That is English listening content for beginners, but also English listening content for intermediate and advanced English learners as well. English listening fluency is one of those skills that can really effect your English speaking fluency because listening skills are so important for social situations in English and understanding what is going on in the conversation before you want to speak. But these English listening skills can be improved by yourself at home as well.
4) English Speaking Fluency Strategies
And to finish off this English learning course, I’ll talk about English speaking fluency methods. Speaking in English, especially in groups where everyone is trying to speak English at the same time, where you need a high level of English listening fluency so that you can understand everything, is the hardest English skill to master, as it also produces the most amount of anxiety for students. In this section I talk about finding good situations to practice speaking English, and some English learning websites for finding great English teachers to practice speaking with. I’ll also talk about a method which I use in my online English Skype lessons to boost my students’ English speaking fluency by turning their “passive” English vocabulary into “active” English vocabulary using a very specific method which surprisingly isn’t used by a lot of English teachers. I’ll also describe an English speaking exercise which you can use at home by yourself, without paying for an English teacher, which can improve your English speaking skills. You won’t have an English teacher to correct your mistakes, but it’s free to use! And lastly I’ll talk a little about how this method can be used to improve your English writing skills as well, and then I’ll discuss the idea of moving to an English speaking country, and some of the bad habits that you should avoid when learning English, and some good English learning habits that you should try to develop.
If you have any questions about English fluency or improving your English memorizing, English reading, English listening or English speaking skills, please feel free to send me a message and we can have a chat about which ever English learning topic you would like to talk about.
Enjoy the course and I hope your English fluency improves!
Who this course is for:
- English students with an English level somewhere between lower intermediate to advanced English
- English students who would like to improve their English fluency using natural methods that work
- English students who are at the beginner level in English should find experienced English language teachers in their first language who can explain the methods needed to improve their English fluency. When you reach a higher level in English (e.g lower intermediate) this course will make more sense and you can understand the methods

ABOUT INSTRUCTOR
Brandon Keating
I’ve been interested in filmmaking, video production & editing my own videos for about 5 years now and I also have a strong interest in filmmaking tech, photography, editing photography in Lightroom & Photoshop, design, street & travel videography/photography etc so in the coming years my goal is to create as many high quality courses covering those topics as possible in the future. I am naturally a very creative person (I once genuinely tried to become the modern version of Johnny Cash for about 3 years in my early 20s), I also used to draw a lot as a kid, as my father is a talented artist and taught me a thing or two and I always did very well in art subjects at school. I’ve also been playing guitar since the age of 15, and I even attempted to build my own movie reviewing blog about 10 years ago, studying classic movies right up until today’s modern blockbusters, so I’ve always naturally gravitated towards creative hobbies. However, I also have a technical background as I graduated university with a degree in Mechanical Engineering, but unfortunately I was way too eager to go out and explore the world so I chose instead to travel around the world teaching English to adults who mostly worked in technical fields such as IT & Engineering working for companies such as Google, Amazon, Siemens, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Disney, Coca Cola etc but also from fields such as Aviation, Medicine, Marketing, Law, Fashion Design etc etc which gave me a great chance to learn about the world outside of my own small interests and learn a huge amount about different cultures around the world as my students were from Brazil, Argentina, Japan, Korea, Spain, Italy, Germany, France the list goes on and on. So to cut a long story short, I have a creative side but I also do well with technical topics so I decided to combine those two areas to create courses about creative topics while also exploring the technical details of using the tools needed to create such creative work. (using tools like Adobe Premiere Pro, Lightroom, Photoshop, After Effects, filmmaking & video production & photography tech gear etc etc). I hope you benefit from some of these courses!
