The Effortless English Club Automatic English For The People Emotional Mastery 2 Vocabulary Text Hello. Welcome to the vocabulary lesson for "Emotional Mastery 2." Let's get started. Now are you smiling? Is your posture strong? Are your shoulders back? Is your head up? Are you moving? You should be. Get in a strong peak emotional state right now before we begin. Okay, let's start. Acquisition, the word acquisition. I talk about language acquisition. Acquisition means to get something and keep it. So to get and keep. So language acquisition means you get language, in other words you learn it. You get it and you keep it. So the idea is that you don't lose it. And sometimes, some teachers talk about language learning and language acquisition. And the idea is that learning is more temporary, for example, in school for a test you learn English, you take the test then you forget it. That's language learning. Language acquisition means you get the English, you keep it, you never forget it. So acquisition, to get and keep something. Another word we use in this lesson is anxiety. Anxiety. Anxiety is nervousness or a feeling of stress. So anxiety, a feeling of nervousness or a feeling of stress. Anxiety, it's the feeling, it's a noun. Now the adjective is anxious. So you might say "I am anxious" or "I feel anxious." It means I feel worried, I feel nervous, I feel stressed. I feel anxious. So anxiety is the noun, anxious the adjective. Our next word, vividly. I say imagine your future vividly. Imagine your goal vividly. Vividly means clearly, colorfully. It has this idea of very powerfully, right? You can imagine your future. Let's say, imagine yourself speaking English very well. Maybe the picture is kind of small and dark, not clear. But if I say imagine your future vividly, you see yourself speaking English but it's a big, clear, colorful picture. So vividly has this idea of colorfully. The adjective is vivid. Vivid, we sometimes talk about a vivid picture, a vivid photograph. Very colorful, clear, strong photograph, a vivid photograph. Alright, another word we have in this lesson is visualize. You probably know visual. Visual means related to seeing, related to the eyes. To say "I am a visual person" means I like to look at things. My emotions are strongest when I look. So visual, related to seeing or about seeing, about your eyes. To visualize is a verb, it's an action. And it really means to imagine. It means to see in your head. So visualize your future means see your future in your head. I can say "Visualize a hamburger right now" it means see a hamburger in your head, visualize. Visualize. Another word we have in this lesson is comprehension. I talk about listening comprehension. Comprehension means understanding, very simple. So listening comprehension means listening understanding. It means you understand what's

The Effortless English Club Automatic English For The People Beliefs Main Text Hello, welcome to the fourth lesson. This one is called “Beliefs." Let's get started. Beliefs are another important part of managing your psychology, of strengthening your psychology so that you will learn English, or anything in fact, much faster. And there are two kinds of beliefs to general categories of beliefs. Limiting and empowering. Let's talk about limiting beliefs first. Now limiting means, limit is something that stops you. It's like a boundary. It stops you from going ahead. So a limiting belief is a belief that stops you from improving, a belief that stops you from getting better. And l'd say most English students have limiting beliefs and many English students have very strong limiting beliefs. I call these beliefs English trauma and I got that name from a few of my Japanese students. They would tell me “AJ, I can't speak English well because I have English trauma." What is English trauma? What is that, what are they talking about? Well, trauma means some kind of injury, some kind of hurt. Emotional hurt, deep emotional hurt. So what they mean is that they had some very negative, painful experiences with English in the past. In other words, when they were in school in English classes, even as adults going to other English schools, they had very negative experiences. And all these negative experiences have created some very negative beliefs, some very limiting beliefs. For example, they say "I am not good at English." Well, that's a belief. It may be true, it may not be true. But it's an opinion, it's a belief that they have. Another belief, a very common belief, English is difficult. Or, English is complicated. Well, that's just a belief. For me English is very easy, because l'm a native speaker, just like your native language for you is very easy. Tomoe can speak Japanese fluently because she's Japanese, so I might say "Japanese is difficult," and she would say “No, Japanese is super easy." These are just beliefs that come from our experiences. The problem is these limiting beliefs limit us. They in fact do limit us. They stop us from getting better. They cause a lot of problems for us as students, as learners. I have them, too. As I try to learn Japanese, for example, I have a lot of these limiting beliefs I realize. I think "Oh, Japanese is so difficult." Japanese is complicated, just look at the writing system. It's so different from English. And these beliefs hurt my motivation. They lower my energy, and in fact they're wrong. They're not true. Japanese does not have to be difficult, it does not have to be complicated. A small child, even a small American child, could learn Japanese very effortlessly, very easily. And the reason is, the number one reason is, they don't have the limiting beliefs. They can sing songs and play games and enjoy the language, and

The Effortless English Club Automatic English For The People Emotional Mastery 2 Main Text Hello and welcome to the next lesson "Emotional Mastery 2." So in Emotional Mastery 1 we learned about changing our physiology, changing our bodies to change our emotions. Remember in that less I said there are two ways to change your emotions. Number one is physiology, we talked about that. There is something else you can change so you can be in a peak emotional state as you learn English and that is your focus, your mental focus. What you think about consistently, that will change your emotion also. So what do I mean by mental focus? How do you change your mental focus? What should you focus on? What should you not focus on? First, let's talk about the negative. What should you not focus on? Try to remember when you were in school in your English classes. What did you focus on when you were in school? What did you think about, worry about, consistently, frequently? Well probably tests, right? That was one I always thought about. You probably were focused on tests a lot. “I gotta pass this test, I gotta pass this test." Tests, and then grades. "Will I get an A? Will I get a B? Will I get a C? Will I fail this course?" So you were thinking about judgment, other people judging you, the teacher judging you, getting a grade, getting a score. How did you feel about that? When you think about tests, tests, tests a lot and you think a lot about a score, a grade, A, B, C. Or maybe now you're thinking about the TOEFL exam and you're worried "What number will I get on the TOEFL exam?" How does that affect your emotions? Do you feel more relaxed or more stressful? Well, most people feel more stressful, of course. The more you think about judgment, the more you think about a test score, the more nervous you become, the more worried you become. And that's not good. You actually learn more slowly when you're worried. You learn more slowly when you're nervous, when you have anxiety. Again, l'll talk about Dr. Stephen Krashen, our favorite researcher. Anxiety is a major part of his research. It is the single number one most negative factor in language acquisition, in language learning. Anxiety means worry or stress and there are many, many studies about this. They study different language learners, study different English learners. And they put them in a situation where they are more stressed or more worried. And they have others that are in a more relaxed situation. And the relaxed students always learn better and faster. So let's say after six months the relaxed students will have better grammar, better pronunciation, better listening and understanding, better writing skill, better everything. The anxious students, the worried, nervous students, the stressed students, of course, have worse pronunciation, worse speaking ability, less vocabulary, worse writing, less

Hi, this is AJ Hoge, Director of the Effortless English Club. Welcome to our new set of lessons, these are called the Power English Lessons. The reason they're called Power English is because in these lessons we're going to do two things. Number one, you're going to learn English, of course. As always, we have the mini-stories which are our favorite lessons for most of our members, but the content, the focus, the topics in these lessons are going to be focused on the psychology of learning and the psychology of success. Now these ideas, they're not just my ideas. In fact, they come from a lot of other people. They come from people like Tony Robbins, who is a famous success coach, Robert Anton Wilson, Joe Vitale, Robert Kiyosaki, Alan Watt, so l've taken a lot of ideas from a lot of different people about this topic of the psychology of success. And the reason that we're going to talk about this in these lessons is that in my experience, most English students struggle and fail because of psychology, not because of methods, not because of teachers. Those things are important, but Tony Robbins talks about the fact that psychology is 80% of success. And I think he's right, based on my experience with many, many English students. Psychology is 80% of success, so 20% are the methods you use to study. 20% are the schools you go to, the teachers you have, the books you use. Those are important, we talk a lot about them. But the other 80% is psychology, your motivation, your emotions, how you manage your time. All of these things are in fact much, much more important. What I saw in my classes were that the enthusiastic students, the energetic students, the optimistic students always learned much faster. They succeeded. The ones who failed, the ones who dropped out and quit, the ones who struggled had the opposite mentality. They had a very negative mentality. Their motivation was low. They tended to be pessimistic. They felt that they weren't good at English. They had ideas that English was very tough, very difficult, they struggled. They didn't have enthusiasm for English. They didn't love English. So in these lessons we're going to talk about how can you manage your emotions. How can you develop that strong, powerful, enthusiastic attitude towards English,
