Learning English naturally
Would you like to be more confident when speaking English ?
Do you feel panick when you hear the familiar questions ‘Do you speak English ?
Do you need extra help with your school work ?
But how can we actually learn English effectively ?
Learning English just as effortlessly as your mother tongue
Speaking, speaking and speaking !
With the natural method* speaking English comes naturally.
It is the most effective way of learning a language that never fails. There is no secret to it, it’s enough to look at the way children learn their mother tongue. The idea is the same: immersing ourselves in the world of English language. The focus is on being surrounded and immersed in the language.
Speaking a foreign language can be quite scary, however, it is the most important step in becoming fluent and proficient.
It requires regular and systematic practice. This is exactly why the English & YOU method is based on 65% active speaking and listening to native speakers, while only 35% is spent on grammar practice.
We don’t study the language or memorize lists of words and rules to be able to perfectly ace a test.
This is not to say that grammar is not important. It is an essential building block and without it we can’t get far. But grammar alone doesn’t get us far either! So we incorporate grammar to support the knowledge with a correct and strong foundation.
Therefore, we listen to podcasts, interviews, videos, music in English to interialise the accent and vocabulary, read articles, stories and then we speak, speak and speak so more.
* The Natural Approach is a language learning theory developed by linguist and researcher Drs. Stephen Krashen of USC and Tracy Terrell of the University of California, San Diego in the 1970s.

Très rapidement, Ashley a mis notre fille à l'aise et lui a donné le goût de l'apprentissage. Depuis un an de cours avec Ashley, les progrès de notre fille sont fulgurants, elle parle couramment anglais et non seulement ses notes en anglais sont devenues excellentes, mais aussi elle s'intéresse beaucoup à la langue en regardant des séries en anglais et en discutant en anglais avec ses camarades anglophones. Je tiens à remercier Ashley pour sa pédagogie et sa gentillesse, c'est une excellente prof et nous avons eu beaucoup de chance de tomber sur elle.Évaluation Google : 5.0 sur 5, Basée sur 35 avis
