MeetВ Alex


Hello everyone! My name is Alexander, but many people call me Alex for short. I am the author of this Super English Course – speak like a native. I am also a good writer and a confident public speaker.



Everything IВ do:

IВ believe inВ helping you speak English better.

IВ believe that English can be easy andВ fun.

IВ believe that English is beautiful and awesome.



The way IВ do itВ is:

ByВ teaching you real English.

ByВ using the best methods for learning and speaking English.

ByВ inspiring you and motivating you toВ stay committed toВ learning English.



IВ just happened toВ make aВ great English course.

Wanna doВ one?



I have created this Super English Course – speak like a native, because I have a mission to do. My mission is to service people. My mission is to teach you real English doing my best.



What is Super English Course?



Super English Course is aВ platform, where IВ introduce aВ brand new way ofВ learning English. The platform where IВ encourage, inspire and help you toВ be more successful and happier every time when you need toВ speak English.



IВ want toВ help you toВ become aВ strong, fantastic and confident English speaker. IВ want you toВ succeed at English. IВ want you toВ speak excellent English.



Now, IВ would like toВ tell you how IВ can help you speak English easily, confidently, automatically and feel absolutely relaxed at the same time. Now IВ want you toВ think ofВ my Super English Course as aВ key toВ the door. It is the key toВ that beautiful door for you toВ enter the space ofВ real English. IВ want toВ help you byВ giving you the key toВ that beautiful, fantastic and gorgeous door toВ the real world ofВ English; the door that leads you toВ your better understanding, toВ your better pronunciation and, finally, toВ your better speaking and ofВ course, toВ automatic respect from people when you speak English.



IВ can help you toВ speak excellent English because IВ know what it feels toВ learn English as aВ foreign language. IВ do know what it feels and IВ do know what it takes toВ speak English where people around you do not speak English or speak English very little. IВ know that because IВ was there. IВ was like you. IВ was born inВ Russia and IВ grew up inВ Russia. IВ myself learned English as aВ second language. That is why IВ understand perfectly well your anxiety, your worry and your embarrassment every time when you need toВ speak English.



When IВ was 10 years old, IВ already wanted toВ be ofВ help. IВ already wanted toВ be aВ teacher. IВ did not know what IВ was going toВ teach, but one thing IВ knew for sure was that IВ wanted toВ be aВ teacher. IВ wanted toВ serve others.



And IВ decided toВ teach English, one ofВ the most beautiful languages inВ the world. IВ went toВ University. Since that time IВ became aВ willing student ofВ English, and IВ became very much interested inВ how IВ could help people toВ speak excellent English all over the globe.

Many years have passed since then, I have learned from the best, and I’ve found the method that I am going to share with you in this course. This is the story-telling method – one of the best methods in the world for learning languages.

I became a teacher of English many years ago. But still I am committed to serving people. Still I am excited and curious about what I am doing. Still I am devoted to my calling – to teach you to speak English easily, confidently and automatically.



If you let me teach you, and if you let me lead you and guide you through this tough, difficult and meandering process ofВ learning English, together we will certainly take your English toВ aВ new level ofВ mastering English. And IВ promise you will speak English the way you never did before.





В В В В With love and respect,
В В В В Your English teacher

How toВ do the course


Hi, this is Alex. InВ this audio IВ am going toВ tell you how toВ do my Super English Course, how toВ use the key better inВ order toВ open the beautiful door toВ real English, the door toВ your success, freedom and confidence ofВ speaking English freely, powerfully and automatically.



So how are we going toВ do this? How are we going toВ learn? Well, one ofВ the things we have toВ do is create aВ daily English ritual. This is your key toВ the door ofВ free speaking.

You probably didn’t feel very happy when you were sitting in your English classes. Now you are different and you are going to learn English differently. When you’re learning English with my Super English Course, it’s very important for you to feel happy. It’s important for your body to feel good, for your mind to feel good. It’s crucial for you to emotionally enjoy the process of learning English. Of course, it’s just more fun, you’re going to like it a lot better. But the other benefit is that you actually will learn faster. You’ll improve your grammar faster. You’ll improve your pronunciation faster. You’ll remember vocabulary words better, longer and faster when you feel good. So there’s a very practical reason for doing this, too.



Just right now, let’s talk a little bit about a daily plan. Something you could do immediately, right now, today, to start improving your success with English by changing your psychology. So here’s a little ritual, a little plan you can follow every day to start improving your English.

The first thing you want to listen to is the story. So the first thing is listen to the story. And you can read this as well the first time if you cannot understand easily, you can read the transcript and listen at the same time. Do this perhaps two times per day, starting with the main story and reading. Use a dictionary if you need to – to look up new words.



Next, listen to the vocabulary. So in the vocabulary again I will discuss the meanings of some of the difficult words that I used. I want you to imagine a bridge. This is what the vocabulary actually is. It is like a bridge to your better understanding and to eventually your better speaking. It is something that liberates you from the main talk. It is something that makes you free and helps you finally become a confident English speaker. The vocabulary lesson gives you that freedom of choice we all want to have when we speak. And again, you can read the transcript of that vocabulary lesson. There’s always a transcript you can read if you can’t understand my speaking, if I’m too fast, then read at the same time. It’s okay.



Next, you’ll listen to the mini-story and the mini-story is the most important lesson. The mini-story is designed for deep learning. In the mini-story I am going to ask a lot of very easy questions while I tell a story. In fact, I really ask the story, I don’t tell the story. Why am I doing this? Students ask me “Why are the questions so easy?” Well, the questions are supposed to be easy because I want you to answer fast and automatically. I want you to train your brain, teach your brain to answer very quickly.

I don’t want you to translate from your language to English or from English to your language. It’s a bad habit. It will make you speak very slowly. I want you to just answer quickly, automatically, very fast. So that’s why I ask so many questions, like questions again, again, again, again, again… very easy. Your job… answer the questions quickly.

You can answer with only one or two words, its okay. Short answers are fine. You don’t need to answer with a big, long sentence. In fact, short is better.



So that’s the order that you’re going to follow. You’re going to listen to the story first, one or two times. You can read as well if you need to. Then you’re going to listen to the vocabulary one or two times, each day. And then finally you’re going to listen to the mini-story, one or two times or more. You can also read the transcript for the mini-story in the beginning.



Now another important point, when you’re listening to these lessons do not study them. Don’t struggle to memorize. Just relax and listen. If necessary, you can read as well, as I said if you need to. But relax, you’re not trying to memorize anything. Just let it come in. Let the English come into your ears and into your eyes. Don’t think about it. Don’t analyze it. Do not think about grammar. The mini-stories will help you learn grammar subconsciously, so don’t interrupt that process by trying to analyze it. Don’t think about grammar rules. You want to learn like a native speaker and that means you’re going to learn the patterns of English in these mini-stories. You might not be able to explain them, just like native speakers cannot explain grammar rules. But that’s okay, you want to be able to use them correctly. That’s the important part. So again, you want to relax. Do not study. Do not think about grammar rules. Do not try to translate. Just relax and listen.



Now another important point. You want to move your body while you’re listening to the lessons. This will keep your energy high. So, what do I mean by that? Well, a really easy way to do this is just to walk. You’ve got an iPod, you’ve got your earphones in, listen to the lessons while you go for a walk. You can do two things at one time. You exercise, you improve your body and you listen to English lessons and improve your mind at the same time.



If you’re sitting in a train or on a bus then maybe you just stretch your body a little bit. If you’re in your car, you can move a little bit. You can move around in your seat. If you’re at your house you can go crazy, you can jump around. You can exercise very strongly. You can go to the gym. Do something with your body while you’re listening to the lessons.

It will keep your energy high. It will keep you feeling better. You will actually learn faster byВ doing that.



And finally, aВ very, very important point. You need toВ use our deep learning method. That means you listen toВ each lesson set for one week or more. So for example, this first unit has got three parts. There is aВ story or aВ main talk. Yes, some lessons have aВ main talk or an article instead ofВ aВ story. There is aВ vocabulary section. And there is aВ mini-story. Well those three, you want toВ listen toВ those three every day for seven days. You want that repetition.



Repetition is very important. You want it to go deeply into your brain. Just one time is not enough. Even if it is very easy for you, if you listen you understand everything, it’s simple, still follow the deep learning method. Still listen to the whole set for one week or more. On the other hand, if it seems very difficult, listen longer. Two weeks is okay.

Doesn’t matter, the point is you want it to go very deeply into your brain which means you want it to be almost easy. It’s going to just go into your brain and eventually just come out without you thinking and that requires deep learning. It requires a lot of repetition.



So that’s kind of your basic plan for using these lessons. Again, first you’re going to get into a peak emotional state. You’re going to get excited. You’re going to jump around. You’re going to listen to music. You’re going to feel great. Then you’re going to listen to the story or the main talk one or two times. Then you’re going to listen to the vocabulary, one or two times. Then you’re going to listen to the mini-story, one, two, three, four, five times… every day. And remember, relax, feel good and enjoy the lessons while you listen.

Okay, now you know what toВ do toВ learn English faster and toВ speak English confidently. Next is your first lesson. Go grab it. See you there.




Unit 1

AВ Dog and aВ Lion



Hello, my superstar English student. This is Alex. Welcome to our first story “A Dog and a Lion”. But first you’re going to focus on your physiology, on your body. You’re going to focus on mastering your body, using your body to change your emotions. Using your body to change the energy that you feel and therefore using your body to learn English much, much faster.Are you ready? Let’s begin.



Once upon a time there was a dog who went for a walk in a forest in Africa. And a lion saw the dog. And the lion thought: “That dog will make a good dinner.” But the dog was a mind-reader. He read the lion’s mind.

And the dog thought, “How can a dog escape from a lion? It’s very difficult. They are very big, very strong, and very fast.” But that dog was a very smart dog.

So what do you think he did? He managed to find some bones. And he sat in front of the bones with his back towards the lion, totally unafraid. And as the lion was about to pounce, the dog licked his lips and said: “Mm, what a delicious meal! These local lions are very, very, very tasty! I wonder when I can get my next lion to eat.”

And the lion heard that and he said, “Oh, my goodness! That must be a really vicious dog. He’s eaten another lion and I am not going to be his dinner.”

And so the lion turned around and ran away.



But there was a monkey there. And that monkey saw that conversation. And he said, “I am not going that dog to get away with tricking this lion”. And he ran to that lion and said, “You’ve been tricked. You are a fool. This dog can’t eat lions. He has just set it to scare you away!”

And so the lion got very upset and he got wild. The lion was going to eat that dog. And the monkey said: “I can’t wait to come with you to watch.”

So the monkey jumped on the lion’s back and the lion went straight towards the dog.

And the dog saw them coming. So he sat in front of the bones again with his back towards that lion and the monkey on his back. And as they came close, the dog licked his lips again and said: “Where is that damn monkey? He promised to bring me another lion.”



This is the end of our lesson for “A Dog and a Lion”. Alright, and remember, of course, keep your psychology strong. I hope you’re smiling right now. I hope those shoulders are back. Chin up. Lots of energy. Don’t forget that every single lesson you do, you must be smiling. You must be moving. You must have that energy in your body. That’s how you’re going to learn English much, much faster. Okay, I will see you next time.




The Vocabulary Lesson


Hi, this is Alex and this is the vocabulary lesson for “A Dog and a Lion”. This is the lesson where I am going to liberate you from the story. The lesson where I am going to give you confidence and freedom you need in order to become a fantastic, confident and first rate English speaker. Let’s begin!



Let me tell you some words about this story first. This story “A Dog and a Lion” is not my story. I didn’t write it. I mean I am not the person who is the author, the creator of the story. No, no, no, no. This story is not mine. I learned the story from a Buddhist monk. It was when I was travelling in Perth, Australia, because that time I was very much interested in Buddhism. And I visited there a Buddhist Temple, a Buddhist monastery. There was a monk there and his name was Ajman Braham. He told me this story. And I liked the story very much and I asked him, “Ajman Braham, can I use this story while teaching my students English?” And he said, “Yes, sure, Alex, you can do it.” So that is why you have this wonderful, fantastic and extremely instructive story to learn.

So let’s jump into the vocabulary lesson.



Our fist expression for today is to make a good dinner. It comes from the sentence: “That dog will make a good dinner.”

So the lion says to himself, “That dog will make a good dinner”. The lion thinks to himself that the dog is good to eat. This is a healthy dog. Actually, it looks like healthy. The dog doesn’t look sick. And the dog is easy to catch and easy to eat. And that is why the lion thinks if he catches the dog, he can cook the dog and then can eat the dog. So he thought, “That dog will make a good dinner.” So the dinner is going to be nice, fantastic and very tasty.



But from the story we know that the dog is a mind-reader. He reads the lion’s mind. Oops!

You see. So as you already understand the dog can read one’s mind. So a mind-reader is someone who can read one’s mind. The dog can understand the lion. He can understand what the lion is thinking about now. He can read his mind. He can understand his thoughts. Actually, it is not difficult for the dog to see what the lion is thinking about and what he wants to do. The dog is a mind reader.



And then you see the dog questioning himself. He is asking himself “How can a dog escape from a lion? It’s very difficult. They are very big, very strong, and very fast.” the dog thought. But that dog is a very smart dog. I think he is a Buddhist.

Okay, our next word is toВ manage. You may know this word, but one more time let me talk aВ little bit about this useful word. ToВ manage. ToВ manage means toВ succeed inВ doing something. So the dog succeeds inВ finding some bones. He gets lucky. He finds some bones. The dog manages toВ find some bones.



The next word is unafraid. The dog sits inВ front ofВ the bones with his back towards the lion totally unafraid. Unafraid simply means brave or not afraid. The dog is brave, right? He is not afraid ofВ the lion. The dog is totally unafraid.

He sits with his back towards the lion and that means the dog cannot see the lion, ofВ course. He sits so that he cannot see the lion. He can see the bones, yes, which are inВ front ofВ him, because he is sitting inВ front ofВ them, but he cannot see the lion because his back is turned toВ the lion. The dog sits with his back towards the lion.



Our next word is toВ pounce. ToВ pounce actually means toВ be ready toВ quickly jump on someone from behind. The lion was about toВ attack, toВ jump on the dog from behind. The lion was about toВ pounce on theВ dog.



InВ this lesson we also have the word vicious. Vicious means extremely cruel, unkind and violent. So the dog is extremely violent. The dog is extremely cruel and unkind. He is aВ viciousВ dog.



Okay. So here we have an expression to get away with something. We use this expression when you managed to do something (usually bad) and you are not caught, you are not punished. In our case, the dog makes the lion believe that he is vicious. The dog manages to make the lion believe that he indeed eats lions. And he does it by tricking this lion. The dog uses a trick. He pretends to be vicious and he cheats the lion. That is why the monkey says, “I am not going that dog to get away with tricking this lion”. So the monkey says: “I am not going to let the dog cheat the lion.” As you understand the monkey wants the dog to be punished. The monkey wants the dog to be caught.



And the monkey runs to that lion and he says, “You’ve been tricked. You are a fool. This dog cannot eat lions. He has just set it to scare you away!”



Let me talk about this sentence “You’ve been tricked”. This means that the dog has cheated you. The monkey says, “You are a fool.”, which means you are not smart. You are silly. And it is easy to cheat you. Or simply to say, it is easy to make you believe that the dog can eat lions. And finally the monkey says, “He has set it to scare you away.”

So now let’s focus on the expression to set something. Here to set something means to organize something so that you believe that it is true, when it is not true.



Let me philosophize aВ little bit here. So the dog manages toВ find some bones, and he sits inВ frond ofВ the bones. Actually, he pretends toВ be brave. He pretends toВ be extremely violent and super unkind. Because he wants the lion toВ believe that the he is really vicious and he really can eat lions.

But the monkey tells the lion that you don’t have to believe that dog. He is a good actor. He has set it to scare you away.



Here we use the expression toВ scare someone away.ToВ scare someone away means toВ make you feel so afraid or so worried that you run away. So again the monkey says that the dog is aВ great actor. He is aВ great pretender. You should not believe him. He is cheating you. He is trying toВ make you feel so afraid, so worried that you run away fromВ him.

And so the lion gets upset and he gets wild, right? And he is ready to eat, to kill the dog. And the lion is going to eat that dog, as I said. And the monkey said: “Ah, I can’t wait to come with you to watch.”



Our next sentence is I can’t wait to do something. What’s it mean? What it means is I really really really really want to do it now and I don’t want to wait and I can’t wait. Actually, the monkey says, “I can’t wait to come with you to watch”. In other words, now we have to go now. Let’s go. “I really want to come with you, and I really want to watch you eat the dog”, the money says.



And our last word for our vocabulary lesson is damn. You may know this word from movies or talk shows. Some people use this word a lot. I am talking about the people who are rude, impolite and the people who use bad language. So the dog wants to know where that damn, bad, rude, vicious monkey is. The dog says, “Where is that damn monkey? He promised to bring me another lion.” Oops! By saying that he lets the lion understand that the monkey has brought him here to be eaten. The monkey is extremely bad and cruel. The monkey is vicious, not the dog.



The moral of the story, I mean the lesson what we can learn from the story is mind your own business. Don’t get into other people’s business, because you may get hurt. You may get into troubles or you may pay a high, very high price.



This the end of the vocabulary lesson for “A Dog and a Lion”. The vocabulary gives you a quick little lesson about some of the words and phrases. And it also liberates you from and it liberates from the story. It certainly gives you that freedom you need to express yourself better and to feel more confident when you speak English. Moreover it surely helps you to get automatic respect from people every time when you speak English.

Okay, IВ will see you inВ the next lesson.




The Mini-Story Lesson


Hello, my superstar student. This is Alex again. Welcome to the mini-story for “A Dog and a Lion”. Are you feeling good? Are you moving your body? Breathing deeply? Smiling big? Good posture? I hope so. Let’s get started.



Once upon aВ time there was aВ dog who went for aВ walk inВ aВ forest inВ Africa. And aВ lion saw theВ dog.

Oh, it is interesting. So the dog thought. Well, actually, we asked himself. “How can a dog escape from a lion in Africa? It’s very difficult. They are very big, very strong, and very fast.”

Is it difficult or is it easy for aВ dog toВ escape from aВ lion?

It is difficult. It is very difficult for aВ dog escape from aВ lion.

Why couldn’t the lion see the dog’s face?

IВ see. Was the dog afraid ofВ the lion?

No, he wasn’t afraid of him. He was totally unafraid. He sat in front of the bones with his back towards the lion totally unafraid. He was a very brave dog.

Did the lion lick his lips?

No, not the lion. The dog licked his lips and the dog said, “Mm, what a delicious meal! These local lions are very, very, very tasty! I wonder when I can get my next lion to eat.”

No, of course, not. The lion didn’t like it at all. The lion said, “Oh, my goodness! That must be a really vicious dog. He’s eaten another lion and I am not going to be his dinner. No, no, no”

What did the lionВ say?

The lion said, “Oh, my goodness! That must be a really vicious dog. He’s eaten another lion and I am not going to be his dinner.”

When the lion said that, what did he do then? Did the lion stay or did he run away?

He ran away. The lion turned around and he ran away. And this is the end ofВ the story.

The end ofВ the story?

No, ofВ course, not. It is not the end ofВ the story.

Yes, he did it. He ran to the lion and he said, “You’ve been tricked. You are a fool. This dog cannot eat lions. He has just set it to scare you away!”

Could the dog really eat lions?

No, of course, not. The dog couldn’t eat lions. The dog tricked the lion. The dog cheated the lion.

Did the dog try toВ make the lion feel scared?

Yes, that’s what he tried to do. He tried to scare the lion away.

Did the dog do it so that the lion could run away?

Yes, he did. The dog cheated the lion. He set it toВ scare him away, so that the lion could run away.

What about the lion? How did the lion feel?

The lion got very upset and he got wild. The lion was going toВ eat thatВ dog.

What was the lion going toВ do?

He was going toВ eat the dog. He got very upset and he got wild. The lion was going toВ eat theВ dog.

And the monkey said, “I can’t wait to come with you to watch.”

What did the monkey want toВ do?

He really wanted toВ come and see what the lion was going toВ do toВ theВ dog.

Did the monkey want toВ wait?

No, he didn’t want to wait. The monkey didn’t want to wait. He really wanted to come with the lion and watch. That’s why he said, “I can’t wait to come with you and to watch.”

So the monkey jumped on the lion’s back and the lion went straight towards the dog.

Where did the lionВ go?

The lion went straight towards theВ dog.

Alone?

No, he went straight towards the dog with the monkey on his back.

Did the dog see them coming?

Yes, he did. The dog saw them coming.

He sat inВ front ofВ the bones again with his back towards that lion and the monkey on the back, totally unafraid.

Yes, he did it. The dog sat inВ front ofВ the bones again with his back towards the lion, and he was not afraid at all. And as they came close, the dog licked his lips again.

Again? Oh, my Lord! He did it again?

Yes, the dog licked his lips again. And he said: “Where is that damn monkey? He promised to bring me another lion.”



It’s time for the monkey to pay a very high price for what he did, right?

Unit 2

Willy theВ worm



Hello, my superstar English student. This is Alex, and this is our second lesson called “Willy the worm”. Let’s do it right now!



Willy the worm is small, weak and shy. When Willy the worm is 6 years old, he goes to school; where Willy has many troubles. Everybody laughs at him. Everybody bullies him. Everybody teases him. Willy the worm doesn’t like going to school. He hates school.



But one day Willy the worm falls inВ love with aВ butterfly named Angela. Angela is aВ beautiful, gorgeous and rare butterfly.

Willy the worm wants toВ impress Angela. Every morning he gives her aВ lot ofВ beautiful flowers. Every afternoon he brings her sweet nectar. Every night he sings love songs forВ her.

But the butterfly doesn’t love Willy. It is unrequited love. Willy the worm gets depressed.



But two days later army officers come. Willy is drafted into the army. InВ the army Willy the worm becomes strong and courageous. And ofВ course, he learns how toВ stand up for himself. He changes aВ lot. Now nobody calls him Willy any more. Everybody calls him William or William the worm.



When William returns home, everybody is surprised byВ aВ new William and Angela is surprised,В too.

But William ignores Angela. He gets into University. He becomes aВ doctor. William the worm decides toВ devote himself toВ serving others.



And this is the end of the story for “Willy the worm.”

As always listen toВ the story many, many times. Listen and enjoy! Remember about your body. The body that can help you learn faster and speak better. Use your body and your brain: these two things you have got for free. If you follow the system, you will certainly become aВ great, fantastic, wonderful and brilliant speaker.




The Vocabulary Lesson


This is Alex and this is your vocabulary lesson for “Willy the worm”. It’s time to liberate you from the story. It’s time to make you free. Let’s go!



Okay, our first word for today is shy. When someone is shy it means that he is nervous, and he feels uncomfortable inВ the company ofВ other people. Willy the worm is nervous, and he feels uncomfortable inВ the company ofВ other worms. He is small, weak which means not strong and he isВ shy.



Our next word is toВ bully. ToВ bully means toВ frighten or hurt someone who is smaller or weaker than you. So when Willy goes toВ school, everybody frightens him, everybody hurts him because he is small and weak.



The next word is toВ tease. ToВ tease means toВ say something inВ order toВ make aВ person feel ashamed or embarrassed. So inВ school everybody laughs at Willy. Everybody says something bad or unpleasant toВ Willy inВ order toВ make him feel ashamed or embarrassed. Everybody teasesВ him.



Next we see the expression toВ fall inВ love with someone. ToВ fall inВ love with someone simply means toВ start toВ love someone. Willy the worm starts toВ love aВ butterfly. He falls inВ love with aВ butterfly.



In this lesson we also have a word rare. You can see it in the sentence, “Angela is a beautiful, gorgeous and rare butterfly.” A rare butterfly means a butterfly that is very difficult to find or see. But when you find or see a butterfly like that you like it very much or value it a lot.



Next we have the verb toВ impress. Willy the worm wants toВ impress Angela. Remember? So, impress. ToВ impress means toВ want toВ make someone think good things about you. So Willy wants toВ make Angela think good things about him. He wants toВ impress Angela. That is why he gives her flowers. He brings her sweet nectar and he even sings love songs for her. He wants Angela toВ like him. He wants toВ impressВ her.



But as the story goes, the butterfly doesn’t love Willy. It is unrequited love. So unrequited love. What’s unrequited love mean? It means if your love for someone is unrequited, they do not love you even though you love them. So Willy the worm loves Angela the butterfly, but she does not love him.



Next we see the expression toВ be drafted intothe army. Remember? Willy is drafted into the army. IВ think it is not difficult toВ understand what it means, but let me explain it toВ you. When someone is drafted into the army, it means he or she is going toВ join the army or is going toВ become aВ soldier. So Willy the worm becomes aВ soldier. He is inВ the army now, because he is drafted into the army.



Next we have a fantastic, gorgeous and very useful expression – to stand up for someone or something. By the way, this is one of my favourite expressions. I myself use it a lot. So to stand up for someone or something means to defend someone, to defend something that is being criticized or attacked. In the army Willy learns how to stand up for himself. In other words, he learns how to defend himself when someone criticizes him or attacks him. He learns how to stand up for himself in the army.



Okay, we move on and we see the sentence, “When William returns home, everybody is surprised by a new William…” A new William means that William is different now. It has the idea that before being drafted into the army, he was weak and shy. Remember? Everybody bullies him, everybody laughs at him and everybody teases him. Moreover, Willy has a drama, a big shock, when he falls in love with Angela and then he learns that Angela does not love him, and Willy the worm learns what unrequited love is. But when Willy joins the army, when he becomes a soldier, the army changes him. He becomes strong and courageous. He becomes different. He is a new William now. He is not that weak Willy. He is not shy any more. He is not the worm he was before. Now he is a new William. I think you get the idea, right?



Our next is expression is toВ get intoUniversity. ToВ get into University means toВ enter aВ University or toВ become aВ student ofВ aВ University. William gets into University. He becomes aВ student. He gets into University.



And the last word for today is toВ devote. ToВ devote yourself toВ something means toВ spend aВ lot ofВ time, energy or effort doing something. After University William becomes aВ doctor. And he decides toВ spend aВ lot ofВ time, energy or effort serving, helping others. He decides toВ devote himself toВ helping others. William decides toВ devote himself toВ serving others as aВ doctor.



Okay, this is the end ofВ the vocabulary lesson. IВ will see you next time for the mini-story, bye forВ now.

Unit 3

The Key toВ your better future isВ you



Hello, my special English learner. This is Alex. Hope you are having a nice day today. Welcome to our next story “The Key to Your Better Future is You”. In this story I am going to tell you about the importance of not complaining about your life. Why you shouldn’t complain, when many people around do it. The reason why you shouldn’t complain because when you complain nobody wants to help you, I think. Let’s get started.



Jim is married toВ aВ beautiful woman. They have two children. But Jim is not aВ success. Instead, he is inВ debts. He looks at his bank account and he is not happy. It is difficult for Jim toВ provide his family.

Jim always blames someone or something.

Jim has aВ list ofВ reasons for not being aВ success.

He always blames the government and the prices. He always blames the taxes and his neighbors. He blames the weather and the traffic. He blames the company and the community. Jim doesn’t know what to do. As a result, he is falling into depression.

But one day fortunately he meets a successful businessman. The man asks him, “Out of curiosity, tell me, Jim, you are young, strong and you have a wonderful wife, but you are not successful. Why?”

Jim immediately goes through his list ofВ reasons why he is not aВ success.

The man is very patient. When Jim finishes, the man looks through the list very carefully. He tells Jim that there is aВ big problem with his list.

“What is it?” Jim wonders.

“You are not on the list”, tells the man.

It revolutionizes Jim’s life.

Jim tears up the list of reasons for not doing well. Jim throws it away. He grabs a fresh piece of paper. He puts one word on it – him. He writes his name – Jim. Jim changes so does his life. He becomes a successful business man.



This is the end ofВ the story. As always listen toВ this story every day. You can pause after each sentence, if you like, and repeat it after me. What will it do for you? It will certainly make your pronunciation and your understanding better. And it will certainly help you speak better than you are doing now. And ofВ course, remember. Use your physiology: good posture, big smile, deep breathing. Get your blood moving.

What is next? Right! Next is your vocabulary lesson. See you there.




The Vocabulary Lesson


Hello, this is Alex again. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for “The key to your better future is you”. The lesson which makes you free. The lesson that revolutionizes your thoughts about vocabulary. The lesson that can easily turn you into a confident, excellent and brilliant English speaker. Let’s start right away.



Our first word is aВ success. Here aВ success means aВ person who is successful. The person who has achieved aВ lot. Usually we say it about the person who has got money, who is powerful and famous. But inВ the story we see that Jim is not aВ success. So he is not successful. Jim has not achieved aВ lot.



Our next expression is in debts. It comes from the sentence “Instead, he is in debt”. When someone is in debts it means that it is a situation in which he or she owes money to other people. It means that he has no his own money. Jim is not a success. He owes money to other people. Jim has no his own money. Jim is in debts.



Next we see the verb to provide. The sentence says “It is difficult for Jim to provide his family”. You may already know this word, but one more time let me explain it to you. Provide. Provide simply means to give someone what they want or need. Here we see that for Jim it is not easy, it is difficult to give what his family want or need such things as: food, clothes, housing and so one. It is difficult for Jim to provide his family.



Okay, in the story we also have a verb to blame. We use this verb to blame when we say or we think that someone or something is responsible for a problem or bad situation, but not us. I say it in the sentence “Jim always blames someone or something”. Actually, it means that Jim always finds someone or something else what or who is responsible for the reason why he is not a success. Jim blames everything outside, but he never blames himself.



Next we have a very common expression to fall into depression. You can see it the sentence “Jim doesn’t know what to do. And as a result, he is falling into depression”. To fall into depression means to enter into a condition where you feel extremely unhappy or supper sad, because you have lost hope for a better future. Jim is falling into depression. He is entering into that condition, where he feels extremely unhappy because he is not a success, because he cannot provide his family, and he has lost hope for a better future. Jim does not know what to do. He is falling into depression.



IВ have aВ feeling that you are becoming more and more liberated, actually, with every word that you learn inВ this lesson. Am IВ right?



Okay, next we also have an expression out of curiosity. In the sentence like “Out of curiosity, tell me, you are young, strong and you have a wonderful wife, but you are not successful. Why?”

Out ofВ curiosity. It means IВ want toВ know, IВ desire toВ know, IВ wonder or tell me why. That famous and successful business person wants toВ know why Jim is not aВ success. He says it because he wants toВ learn, he wonders why he has not been aВ success yet: being young and strong, having aВ wonderful wife. The man is curious about it. He is curious about the reason why Jim is not aВ successВ yet.



Okay, next we see the expression to go through. The sentence says “Jim goes through his list of reasons why he is not a success.” Here go through means to read out again or to tell the same reasons why he is not a success yet. So Jim tells that man, he reads out to that man his list, his list of reasons, why he is not a success yet. He goes though the list of reasons that stops him from being a success.



A little bit lower we see another very common expression to look through. In the sentence like “Jim finishes, the man looks through the list very carefully”. Look through. To look through means to read something usually quickly, especially to find the information you need. That businessman reads Jim’s lists quickly because he wants to find the information he needs to understand why Jim is not a success. And as you know he doesn’t find it.



Okay, our next verb is to wonder. To wonder means it is interesting to know or I want to know, I want to learn. “What is it?” Jim wonders. Jim wants to know, he wants to learn what is wrong with his list. It is interesting for him to learn, where there is a big problem.



Next we have another good and useful verb, this is to revolutionize. As you may already guess, it comes from the word revolution which means a big, huge or major change in something. To revolutionize something means to completely change the way that something is done, thought about or made. In other words, this idea of not being on the list of reasons why he is not a success, this thought has completely changed Jim’s life. He changes the way he thinks about being a success. It revolutionizes his life.



Our next expression for his vocabulary lesson is to tear up. To tear up means to destroy something such as a piece of paper or clothing by pulling it into pieces. And you can see it in the sentences “Jim tears up the list of reasons for not doing well”. Jim destroys the list of reasons for not doing well. He tears up the list of reasons for not doing well.



Our final word for today is to grab. Here to grab means to take something quickly and you hold it. So Jim takes a fresh piece of paper quickly and he puts one word on it, which means he writes one word on it – him. Of course, you understand the idea of the story that you are the only person who is responsible for your own success. No one else can decide for you.



Alright, and that is all for the vocabulary lesson for “The key to your better future is you.” See you for the mini-story.

Unit 4

AВ Monster



Hello, my superstar English learner! This is Alex. Welcome to the forth lesson. This one is called “A Monster”. Shoulders back. Chin up. Smile big. Move that body. We are going to do some English. Let’s get started.



There is aВ huge, ugly and super-strong monster. The monster is so huge that he lives everywhere. The monster does terrible, horrible and awful things. And what does the monster do? He takes children away from homes. He also takes children away from their parents from Mondays till Saturdays. But the monster always brings children back. As aВ result, parents see little ofВ their children.



Every day the monster gives children a lot of tasks to do. And poor children and unhappy parents have to do tasks all Sundays to please the monster. Because of that monster, parents and children don’t spend time together. Parents and children miss each other. And as a result, the monster breaks relations between parents and children. They don’t understand each other very well.



What is that monster’s name? And of course, the monster’s name is SCHOOL. What? Yes, it is school that takes children away from homes for 5 or 6 hours a day. It is school that gives children a lot of tasks to do. It is school that breaks relations between parents and children. But one day parents decide not to give their children to that monster any more. They decide to educate their children at home. They also decide to spend time with their children all week.



And because the monster can’t take children away from homes any more, the monster gets weaker and weaker. With time the monster gets less and less powerful. And eventually, the monster disappears.

Parents feel fulfilled because their children are well-educated. Parents and children feel fulfilled because they spend aВ lot ofВ time together.

Everybody knows that parents are the best teachers.



And this is the end of the story for “A Monster”. What are you doing now? I am sure you’re smiling now, you’re breathing deep, you’re moving your body, and you have good posture.

Why not? It’s better than feeling powerless, right? It’s better than being bored. And I promise you will learn so much faster if you do this. Every day just before you do a lesson. Get your body strong. Get into that peak emotional state. And say to yourself that English can be fun and easy. Now your body, your mind, your beliefs, they’re all together, very strong. Then you’re ready to learn.



You know what goes next. Right! Your vocabulary lesson. See you there!




Vocabulary Lesson


Hello, this Alex again. Time for the vocabulary lesson for “A Monster.” As always, be sure you’re standing tall. Good posture, big smile. Deep breath, move your body. Now you are ready to liberate yourself from the story. You are going to be an absolutely liberated, one hundred percent inspired and totally unique English speaker. Let the magic begin!



In this lesson I used a few difficult words. Maybe difficult, maybe not, I don’t know. Let’s talk about them. Number one is a monster. What is it? Of course, you have a picture in your head of a monster. A picture of something or someone who is very large, super ugly, very strong and cruel.

In our story the monster is so large that it lives everywhere. And our next word is everywhere. It means that you can’t escape the monster. You can’t get away from something bad. In our case, it is a huge, ugly and super-strong creature. The monster lives in each village, in each town, in each city. It is everywhere.



Than I say, “The Monster does terrible, horrible and awful things”. Here we have three words: terrible, horrible and awful. These words are synonyms. They all have an idea of something bad and unpleasant. We can use them when we talk about something that makes you feel bad, frightened and extremely uncomfortable. The monster does super-bad things and it makes everybody feel extremely frightened and uncomfortable.



He takes children away from homes. He also takes children away from their parents from Mondays till Saturdays.

But the monster always brings children back.

So the next expression is to bring back. What it means is that the monster always returns children home to their parents. And he doesn’t take children away from homes and from parents forever. No, no, no. The monster always returns children. He always brings children back.



And next you see the sentence “That’s why parents see little of their children” To see little of somebody. So we use this expression when we want to say that we don’t see someone often. Parents don’t see their children often. They see little of their children, not much. They don’t see much of their children. Parents see little of their children.



Alright, another word we have in this lesson is to please. Of course, you know this word. But it is often used as a polite way of asking for something or of asking someone to do something. Like, “Can you help me, please?” But here we use it as a verb. I say, “Poor children and unhappy parents have to do tasks all Sundays to please the monster.” To please somebody means to make a person be glad, be content. So the poor children and unhappy parents have to do a lot of tasks to make that monster be glad, be content or be satisfied or happy. They have to do a lot of tasks to please the monster.



Then we go down the story and we see “The monster breaks relations between parents and children”.

It really means that the monster separates parents from children. In other words, the monster builds; the monster creates a wall between parents and children. Parents and children don’t spend time together. They don’t talk much to each other. They become separated. And as a result, they miss each other and they don’t understand each other very well. The monster breaks relations between parents and children.



As you may guess, here we use aВ monster as aВ metaphor. Let me explain toВ you this word, IВ mean, aВ metaphor. AВ metaphor is aВ word or aВ group ofВ words we use toВ say that one thing or person is similar toВ another.

For example, every time when you hear me say, aВ monster or the monster IВ mean school. IВ compare School toВ aВ Monster. IВ say metaphorically, ofВ course, that School is like aВ monster that takes children away from homes and from their parents. AВ very large, ugly, super-strong and cruel monster that separates parents from children. The monster that builds aВ wall between parents and children. The monster that takes children from their parents.



Another word we have in this lesson is to educate. And to educate means to teach someone, usually for several years. In other words, parents become teachers, right? They teach their children at home. They don’t send their children to school any more. No, no, no. They educate their children at home.



Okay, our next word is to disappear. You can see this word in the sentence, “Eventually, the monster disappears” To disappear. To disappear means to no longer happen or exist. The monster no longer exists. No one can see the monster. No one can find the monster. It stops existing. The monster disappears. It’s gone.



Next we see the word well-educated. We use this word when we describe someone who has aВ lot ofВ knowledge about different subjects. For example, he is educated or she is educated. IВ think, you get the idea, right?



Our final word inВ this lesson is fulfilled. ToВ be fulfilled or toВ feel fulfilled means toВ be happy and satisfied, especially because you are doing something important. Parents are happy. Parents are satisfied. Parents feel fulfilled. They are fulfilled because their children are well-educated. And this is the most important thing for every parent inВ the world.



And that is all for our vocabulary lesson for “A Monster”. If you just listen to each lesson one time, or a few times, one or two days, you will not speak English easily, confidently and automatically like a native speaker. You will be entertained, maybe. You might enjoy. You might learn a couple words, but you’re not going to learn how to speak like a native speaker. To do what you’ve got to really have this deep level of repetition. I know you’re serious about it so you’re going to do it. Good luck. Okay, I’ll see you for the mini-story.

Unit 5

AВ Librarian



Hi, this is Alex. Are you smiling? Are you standing tall? Are moving your body? I hope so. Welcome to the lesson number 5, and today’s story is “A Librarian”. Let’s go!



Gu Gu is aВ huge, fat and clumsy panda. She is rude toВ everyone. Gu Gu the panda is aВ librarian at aВ school.

Every day she eats aВ huge cake. Every day she shouts at children. Every day she beats children with books. And ofВ course, all the children and all the teachers hateВ her.

One day aВ new history teacher appears inВ the school. He is handsome and strong. He is intelligent. He is nice and friendly toВ everyone.

Gu Gu the panda falls in love with the teacher at first sight. But the teacher doesn’t want to talk to her. The teacher doesn’t want to go on a date with her. No, no, no. Why? Because Gu Gu the panda is huge, fat and clumsy. Because Gu Gu the panda is rude to everyone. And because Gu Gu the panda is a child-beater. But a few days later Gu Gu the panda decides to change. She summons up all the teachers and the children to the library. The panda says: “I am sorry. I will never be rude to you all again. I promise to be nice, kind and polite.”

She keeps her promise. Gu Gu the panda becomes nice, kind and polite toВ children and toВ the teachers. She makes compliments toВ everyone. She stops eating cakes. And ofВ course, she stops beating children.

After 6 months everybody begins toВ love Gu Gu the panda. Everybody gives her flowers and sweets. And the history teacher asks her for aВ date. Wow! And ofВ course, Gu Gu the panda is very happy.



And that is the end of the story for “A Librarian”. Next, let’s do the vocabulary lesson. Time for being free. And of course, big smile. See you next time, bye-bye.




The Vocabulary Lesson


Hi, this is Alex. Big smile… deep breath. Move that body. Liberate your body and liberate your mind. Let’s start the vocabulary lesson for “A Librarian”.



Our first word is aВ librarian, ofВ course. You may know this word, but let me remind it toВ you. AВ librarian is aВ person who works inВ aВ library. For example, when you want toВ read aВ book. You go toВ aВ library and there is aВ woman. And you tell her the title ofВ the book (the name ofВ the book) you want toВ read and she gives you the book. After reading the book you go back toВ the library and you give the book back, you return the book. The woman takes the book from you. And this woman is aВ librarian, right? So Gu Gu the panda works inВ aВ library. Gu Gu is aВ librarian.



Next we have the word clumsy. As you remember from the story Gu Gu is clumsy. We usually use clumsy when we talk about someone who moves inВ aВ way that is not careful or graceful, and breaks things or knocks against them. So Gu Gu is clumsy because she is huge and fat. She breaks things. She knocks against them. Gu Gu is clumsy.



AВ little bit later we see the word intelligent. Intelligent means good at thinking clearly and quickly. When aВ person is intelligent it means he is good at understanding difficult ideas and subjects. So the history teacher is not only handsome and strong, but he is also good at thinking clearly and quickly. And he can understand difficult things, ideas which other people cannot. Or maybe they can, but not that quickly as the history teacher can. So the history teacher is intelligent.
