The Lessons Are Great. Thank You So Much.

You're welcome. I love getting emails from excited members! I'm sorry that I cannot reply to every email, but I do appreciate your kind words and thanks :)

How Do I Join

Go to the bottom of the home page and click the gold "click here" button.

I Don't Have a Credit Card, How Can I Pay

You can send money with PayPal without a credit card. Use the bank transfer option.

I prefer to use PayPal because it is safer for you. With PayPal, your financial information is protected.

Can I Pay With a Money Order or Western Union

No. I do not accept money orders or Western Union because they are not secure.

Is This a Subscription. Will My Card Be Charged Every Month

NO. You are charged only one time. There are NO monthly fees. You pay only once.

After I Pay, How Do I Get The Lessons

You will immediately receive an email with a link to the download page. Click the link, then click on the titles of the lesson sets to download them. Lesson sets should download automatically after you click the title. If your computer asks, choose WinZip to download the files (most computers will do this automatically).

How Many Lessons Are There

There are over 120 lessons (28 lesson sets, each with 4 or more lessons in it)

Do I Need an MP3 Player or iPod to Listen to the Lessons

No. You can listen to the lessons on your computer. However, an MP3 player (iPod) will allow you to listen to the lessons anywhere and anytime-- just load the lessons onto your MP3 player and learn English on the bus, while walking, during lunch, etc.

What Kind of Files Are the Lesson Downloads

The lessons are all .zip files. Zip files download faster. You need 7-Zip or WinZip to open these files. WinZip comes with most Windows and Mac computers. If you do not have WinZip for some reason, you can get 7-Zip for free at:

What Program Do I Use To Open the Lessons

Use 7-Zip or WinZip to download the files (see above question). After that, use your media player (such as iTunes) for the audio lessons, and use Adobe Acrobat Reader for the text files. These programs come with most computers.

Which Lesson Sets Should I Listen To First

You can listen to the lessons in any order. However, I recommend starting with the "1." lessons because they are shorter, simpler, and easier. Then move to the "2." and "3" level lessons. Do only one lesson set per week, listening to each lesson in the set everyday.

How Do I Use The Lessons

Listen to one lesson set everyday each week. Each lesson set has 4-5 lessons in it. Repeat each lesson in the set everyday for at least one week. If the lesson set still seems difficult, listen to these lessons every day for another week.

If the lessons seem easy, still listen to them everyday for at least one week. Deep learning is a very important part of Effortless English. Over-learn every lesson.

I Don't Understand All Of The Lessons, What Should I Do

Start with the level 1. lessons and focus on the Mini-Story lessons. It's OK if you don't understand every word. Just relax and listen to the same lesson everyday for a week. The Mini-Story lessons are the most important, so focus on them first if you are having trouble. Most of all, be patient. It takes time, but after 6 months you will improve a lot!

I Paid But I Didn't Get An Email With The Download Link

Check your "bulk mail" folder or your "spam" folder. Your email company probably sent the email there by mistake.

Do You Have A Demo Lesson

You can hear my general style by listening to my podcast at: http://www.effortlessenglish.libsyn.com However, these are not lessons, but they will give you an idea about my personality and style.

Can I Get The Lessons For Free

No. I cannot offer the lessons for free, but I do guarantee your success if you use them everyday for 6 months.

Are The Club Lessons Different From The Free Email Course

Yes. The email course teaches you an English study method. The lessons teach you English vocabulary, speaking, listening, and grammar.

How Can I Improve My Writing

The best way to improve reading and writing is to read easy novels... and read them everyday. How easy? Well, you should not need a dictionary to understand it and you should be able to read quickly. On most pages, you should understand 98% of the words.

You can start with kids novels-- books for children ages 7-12. Then find adolescent novels (for ages 13-15). After you read a lot of those, read novels for teenagers (16-18 years old)... and finally, novels for adults. What kind of novels? Anything you like. Mystery, romance, adventure, etc.... Read things you like. Read easy novels. Read a lot and read everyday. Don't use a dictionary-- read quickly and enjoy your reading. This is the best way to improve both reading and writing

I didn't receive an email from your email course

Check your "bulk" or "spam" mail folder. Emails are sometimes put there by your email company by mistake. If the emails are not there, you may need to sign up again for the free email course.
