**Tip 5: Focus your study on real spoken English, instead of on formal written English.
Hi. How are you doing?
Today I want to talk about another very important idea. The idea is this: written English and spoken English are, in fact, quite different.
Most students learn written English. Textbooks teach written English-- even most "English Conversation" Textbooks.
When we speak, we use different vocabulary, different grammar, and different pronunciation than what is in textbooks.
Here's one example. In most textbooks, you might find a sentence like this:
"The theater sold all the tickets"
However, in normal speech, we would usually say,
"They sold out".
"Sold out" is a two-word verb-- also called a "phrasal verb". You don't find many phrasal verbs in textbooks, but we use them constantly in speech.
In fact, for most common actions we have two (or more) ways to say it-- the more formal one-word form, and the more common two-word form.

Thank you very much for your support with my English lessons. In fact, I´ve been working the way you suggested by listening to mini-stories. I have gained more fluency when speaking and self-confidence. As a result, I was able to get a job as an interpreter of the English Language.

I'm improving very much with these lessons, this method is the greatest surely! When I talked with my girlfriend in Philadelphia through yahoo in September, I didn't understand her well, and my speaking was bad too. Instead, this month, to her surprise, my speaking was very much improved!!! And I could understand her better! But I must improve a lot again!!! I must be patience!!! But because this method is fantastic, I am hungry for English! I want to speak well and enjoy it!!! Thanks Again!!! I will certainly tell my friends about this Great System!!!

How can you use these common words FAST ?
You need to focus on spoken English. In other words, find English that is first spoken, instead of written. For example, listen to the radio, watch English language TV, listen to English podcasts.
**Tip 5: Focus your study on real spoken English, instead of on formal written English.
By doing this, you will learn to understand and speak to native speakers fast.
Good luck,
