for many years english teachers i'd use the method known as listen and repeat using this method the teacher says a word were sentenced and then the student repeats but the teacher has set for example
your english teacher may say john drove to school then you would repeat what the teacher said so you would say john drove to school you repeat after the teacher just like a bird listen and repeat method not teach you had to speak English it just changes you how to repeat after your teacher if you want to speak English then you must learn how do you think in English when you are in using the listened and repeat method you do not think in English so you do not learn how to speak English and learn real English we use a method that is called listen and answer the listen and answer method is much more powerful because it teaches you just think in indulge and you need to be able to think in english in order to speak the English quickly easily and automatically you must think in English because when you're speaking to another person there is no time for you just think in another language
and then translated to English using the listened and answer method we tell your story and you just listen to the story and you try to understand it and while we are telling you the story we ask you all a lot of questions so you
listened to the story and the questions and then you answer the questions outloud you hear the question in English and you answer the question in English you begin to think in English and when you think in English then you understand faster you do not need to translate so you respond quicker when you speak to another person
you did not listen and then repeat what the person says you listen and then you answer the person that's what you do in real life and that's what we do in the learn real english lessons
