You can use this independently or the teacher can use it with you. The book explains grammar in the Direct Method style by using examples. John recommends that you learn grammar in this way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Step 2: Get a strategy plan:<\/strong><\/span>&nbsp; You need a plan so that you can follow it and measure your progress. It\u2019s important that you study regularly. John\u2019s strategy plan has three parts:\n<ul>\n<li>Use the exercises in the book every day if you can. Try to schedule it at the same time every day. You can do the exercises by yourself and say them out loud. If you hear your own voice when you speak it will help you to get a feeling for the language.<\/li>\n<li>Find listening practice like You Tube clips.<\/li>\n<li>Next, plan speaking practice. It\u2019s best if you can interact with native speakers. Use social networks like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/aee-158-use-facebook-groups-find-english-speaking-friends\/\">Facebook to speak English.<\/a><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Step 3: Get a tutor from time to time: <\/strong><\/span>You will need some feedback at some point. When you\u2019re working alone all of the time you might get lonely. Your tutor can check your progress. He can listen to you and see how you put sentences together. You might be making the same mistakes over and over again and your tutor will point that out to you. Your tutor should get you to speak right away during the lesson. The entire lesson should be held in the target language.<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Step 4: Stick to it and don\u2019t give up.<\/strong> <\/span>It might be hard at first but after a while you will get used to your new schedule.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>John\u2019s Bio:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-9440\" src=\"https:\/\/www.allearsenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/John-Bio.jpg\" alt=\"John native English teacher\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\"><\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: black; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: medium;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Hi everybody, I\u2019m John.
