I'm learning Spanish again and it's so hard  for me to understand native speakers. And if  

Modal verbs - A2

you're studying English, I know I, and my fellow,  native speakers can be difficult to understand.  

Past simple

I struggled with this myself in college when  I studied in the Dominican Republic, and then  

after college when I studied German in Germany  for six months. I get it. So when I started  

teaching English, it was so important to me to  develop a technique to help students hear English  

differently, to be able to join conversation and  not just be stuck in written communication.

The technique involves learning a specific aspect  of spoken English with your mind, we do that through a video,  

then training that into your body with audio  exercises, and then getting feedback from teachers  

along the way. And I've been helping students with  this technique for five years now, and it works.

And to the rest of you guys like myself, keep  

working hard because it's  working, and I'm so happy.

Wouldn't you love right now to practice, say, a  tricky sound in American English or a reduction  

and then have a teacher say,  “Yes, that sounds perfect!”,  

or “Wait, that reduction still  needs to be shorter, try this?”  

The best way to feel confident speaking English  is to get help and guidance from trained teachers.  

And can you believe you get that as a part of  my online school, Rachel's English Academy?

I'm going to introduce you to these six  fantastic teachers today and show you  

how they can guide you to the materials in  my Academy for transformation and success  

in your spoken English, confidence  that you can almost not imagine.

On November 5, I turn 43. And to celebrate  my birthday, I'm offering a huge sale,  

the last one of the year, 81% off your intro  month in the Academy with the code Rachel43.  

The sale is for 5 days only, it ends Sunday,  and you can end your subscription at any time  

if you don't feel like this method  and these teachers work for you.

What's my academy? Well, this is the 30-second  elevator pitch. It's an online training ground for  

spoken English. We teach the concept, we give you  the audio to train that concept into your habits,  

and then we give you the teacher resources to  check in to make sure you're on the right track  

with your training. Hundreds of exclusive videos  and audio lessons, a method for self-training and  

self-improvement, a re-shaping of your habits and  ideas about speaking English, teacher feedback  

and support. All online, all available 24-7  for you to work on as it fits your schedule.

One of the most important things we can do  for you in the Academy is change how you hear  

English. This is Tom, one of our teachers  that you may work with in the Academy.

The idea of learning how to listen. Because I  think, if you kind of train your ear to begin  

hearing the musical quality of American  English it makes it a lot easier to imitate.

Do you recognize Tom? He's been teaching with me  

for over 10 years and he's been in my  YouTube and Facebook videos before.

If you're in my Academy, you can work  with Katie. She talks about how, with the  

method and materials in the Academy, students  start to hear things they didn't hear before.

One thing that's happened to me as I've been  working with the students from Rachel's English  

Academy is after a couple of weeks or so with the  daily practice, they come back and say “Wow! I  

can understand things in conversation  that I had no idea were happening before,  

just even little things  like reductions and flap Ts,  

some of the other things that are so  characteristic of American English.”

Isn't that fantastic? It's what makes us  unique. These are your teachers. Most of  

the work is done on your own with the best  method and materials available, but then,  

how do you know you're doing it right?  You're not doing this alone. Through our  

private groups you're with a team  of teachers but all the other students too.

I've imitated so many Hollywood scenes as many as  possible and of course, imitating so many scenes  

on movies or TV shows without  knowing the technique was hard.  

Like I constantly make mistakes and nobody  even corrected me until I found this academy,  

Rachel's English Academy. And I can say  that this academy has been my lifesaver.

Al had the right idea, but since she wasn't  learning the language with the supercharged  

brain of a young child, she needed a little  bit more concrete information and guidance  

which is what she got in the academy.  And with that information and guidance,  

the change in students can be truly  amazing. This is our teacher Laura,  

talking about singing and noticing the  changes through student's hard work.

Sometimes I'll be working with somebody and while  we're working on something and we'll put it aside  

for now, they'll keep visiting it in their  practice time and then when I see them again  

maybe some times gone by, and they're  using it as if it's just another natural  

part of their speech now. And I love  hearing that, I love noticing that.

That's the best part. Hearing a student  speak naturally and comfortably. Now,  

because we're talking about changing a habit here,  that doesn't happen overnight. It doesn't happen  

with watching a video and learning something. You  have to add training. I wish I could do that part  

for you but I can't. It's best to sign up  for the Academy only if you have a minimum  

of 15 minutes a day to learn the tips and  tricks about what makes American English  

sound American, and the training to bring  those qualities into your own voice and body.

I asked Josh, another one of our  fantastic teachers, to talk about  

what he notices in successful students, and  guess what, it goes back to listening.

My favorite success story is  that with students in the academy  

and those for the students who really get  their ears tuned into the sound of English.  

And it really opens up the way they listen and  what they say and how they use the language.  

Sometimes students spend a lot of  time working on an individual sound.  

But once you can actually train them and get them  to actually notice that difference, it changes  

everything about the way they approach it and they  really get really, really motivated from that.

In the Academy we cover every topic  in spoken English: placement & pitch,  

melody & intonation, rhythm, all  the sounds, reductions and more.

I asked our teachers what their favorite  course is and why. This is Ms Stokes' answer.

Without question, the Stress 3 course  is my favorite. It's the place where  

you get the most bang for your buck. Your  time investment pays off so much in that  

course. I don't know a better place to  improve rhythm and just to immediately  

sound so different in terms of the prose and  thought groups, just the style of your speech.

Stress three is my personal favorite too.  

It focuses on reductions. You put in  time training, you get a huge reward.

Now let's meet Alicia, another one of  the students in my Academy. She's going  

to talk about what she thinks  transforms students the most.

The other thing that I think help students really transform in the academy is getting  

specific direct feedback from teachers.  In the Facebook and community groups,  in

one to one lessons and in Whatsapp classes.  So this combination of practicing with the  

sound boards, and then getting really  specific personal feedback from teachers  

is the winning combination to help improve  your English and help achieve your goals.

I just love the investment that  our teachers make in our students,  

and the investment that our students make  in themselves. Katie said it really well.

The Facebook and community group  students are “total badasses”.  

They post videos of themselves practicing  with the content in Rachel's Academy and  

we as teachers get a glimpse into what they are  working on, we get to help them make adjustments,  

give them feedback on how they're doing,  it's so beneficial for them. Also they are just so

encouraging and supportive of each other.  Everybody is working on the same journey,  

they maybe working on specifically different  things in the Academy but they learn from  

each other, and they get to support each other  throughout this process and it's so fun to see.
