It is an interesting email that I have recieved today which contains a few helpful learning tips for English learners. I would like to have it recorded.
How's it going? Sorry I havent written in a while. Ive been
somewhere in between being super busy and super lazy. Anyway, we
wanted to share with everyone a few free VIP lessons and a 5 day
email course that should really improve your spoken English. Go here

Also,I wanted to give you guys an update of what Add and I have been
up to. Ive got a good university friend here visiting and hes
sitting beside me working as I write. I hadnt seen him in 8 years
but after about 20 minutes it didnt feel like that at all. Some
people change and it feels kind of weird to see them after a while so
it was cool to find out that we are just as good of friends now as we
ever were.
He owns an art gallery in Berlin and is a pretty hilarious guy. He
lives in 4 different countries every year and does a bunch of weird
and funny adventures. He speaks 6 languages fluently, which I had a
hard time believing but its actually true. I tested him out.
Shanghai is an international city so I found someone from each
country to talk to him and they said he really could speak the
languages fluently.
I personally find it hard to speak over 2 languages so I thought he
must have put in a lot of study hours to get to where he is. He told
me that he basically just looks for the 500 most commonly used words
in any new language he wants to learn and then studies those. After
he has that basic vocabulary and a simple explanation of how the
language works, he starts listening to native English speakers talk
on a regular basis and picks up the rest of the language that way. He
only spends 15 to 25 minutes of super concentrated language study eachday. He thinks schools are usually a total waste of time and energy.
I showed him some of our newest pod casts and he got some of his German
friends to listen to them using his language learning method. A large
percentage of Germans already know the 500 most commonly used English
words anyway because they learn in high school. He said they are
improving a lot already just by listening and reading the
transcripts. Hes really into China232 and is giving us a bunch of
good teaching advice for our upcoming lessons.
We're going to go hit the gym now. We're pretty competitive so I want
to have a coffee first to get a jolt of energy because I dont want to
get embarrassed in the gym. Its a kind of healthy competition I
think.
I'll let you know how that goes. I always look forward to reading
your emails.
Talk soon,
Andy
