English Language Program
STUDENT TEXTBOOK
The fastest and best way to learn Conversational English
and to have a great American English Accent!
Other Languages Available In Mr. Stan’s English:
This program is designed to be used in English only “immersion” classes.
The purpose of the translated material is to eliminate the need to look
words up in a bi-lingual dictionary which is time wasting and frustrating
for the students. Because English Language Classes frequently have
several different languages spoken by students in a single class, this
program uses the same English text for every student in the class. Based
on the 1000 most frequently used words in the English language, words
are presented “in-context” in typical everyday conversational situations.
The program is designed to be used like “flash cards” where spaced
repetition enhances the student’s ability to quickly lock words and phrases
into long-term memory. This unique system is research based and has
been scientifically shown to greatly speed English language learning.
Used with the accompanying Computer Program & Audio CD the student
also acquires the proper pronunciation right from the start. Students
progress to conversational ability in as short a time as possible.
Extensive classroom testing has proven this process to be the most
effective strategy an English language teacher can use to help students
learn English quickly and easily.

Acknowledgment
There are so many people to thank that to start with any name would be to risk
forgetting one. All I can say is that this work was a joint effort of so many people over
so many years that I can hardly be said to be its author. At most it is merely my
framework modified by clearer thinkers than myself. But thanks must go to the
teachers and colleagues who not only proofread and corrected my text but tested its
veracity in the classroom with many, many students to document its validity. To my
superiors in the administration who not only encouraged me but supported the
introduction of the material into the classrooms, I can only offer my heartfelt thanks.
Many others would not have looked so kindly upon new and novel material and
teaching methodologies. The nearly uncountable number of students, and in some
cases family members of students, who volunteered their time and efforts to translate
the material and the many others whose critical review and confirmation of translated
material ensured its accuracy and completeness were a joy to work with and to learn
from. Lastly, my family who endured my near obsession with the minutest of details in
the work not to mention the thousands of hours and expenses incurred along the way
with their support and active encouragement at every turn in the road, I can scarcely
begin to explain how much that love was felt and so very deeply appreciated.

STUDENTS PLEASE . . . THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!
English is a very different language from all other languages. Words are not always
spelled the way they sound . . . . and some letters of the alphabet have several different
sounds. Therefore, you must (absolutely must) . . . . HEAR the word . . . SEE the word
. . . and SAY the word “OUT LOUD” when you are studying English.
LOOK
LISTEN
SPEAK
1. You must pronounce the words in a clear voice to get the proper English Accent!
This is very important. Only with a tape recording that you can repeat, and repeat,
and repeat again will you get the accent perfected.
2. This is why you must hear the words being spoken by a native English speaker and
say them aloud yourself. It is impossible to read silently and learn to actually speak
English with a good accent.
3. And finally you must look at the words on the printed page while both hearing and
saying them out loud. This is the only way to learn how to spell the word. You will
not be able to write English sentences unless you can spell the words correctly.
Remember: 30 minutes a day, everyday, and you will achieve your goal!
6
ESTUDANTES POR FAVOR . . . ISTO É MUITO IMPORTANTE!!!
Inglês é uma língua muito diferente de todas línguas restantes. As palavras não são
soletradas sempre a maneira que soam. . . . e algumas letras do alfabeto têm
diversos sons diferentes. Conseqüentemente, você deve (deve absolutamente). . . .
OUÇA as palavras. . . VEJA as palavras. . . e FALE as palavras "em voz alta"
quando você está estudando inglês.
VEJA
OUÇA
FALE
1. Você deve pronunciar as palavras em uma voz desobstruída para começar o
pronuncia em inglês apropriado! Isto é muito importante. Somente com uma
gravação de fita que você possa repetir, e repetir outra vez, você começa a
pronuncia apropriada.
2. Isto é porque você deve ouvir as palavras que estão sendo faladas por um inglês
nativo e as dizer em voz alta você mesmo. É impossível ler silenciosamente e
aprender falar realmente o inglês com um acento bom.
3. E finalmente você dever olhar as palavras na página impressa quando escutar e
pronunciar elas em voz alta. Esta é a única maneira de aprender como soletrar
a palavra. Você não poderá escrever sentenças em inglesas a menos que você
puder soletrar as palavras corretamente.
Recorde: 30 minutos um dia, diários, e você conseguira seu objetivo!

Thank you so much! See you again soon.
Have a nice day you two!

You can practice whole sentences or single
words over and over. You can get “instant

dialogues along with the original and
comparing them side-by-side.
English Rhythms let you practice your
accent and target specific sounds that may
give you problems such as the “TH” sounds or
the “L” or “R” sounds. You can repeat as often as
necessary to get the perfect American English accent.
This unique combination of practice formats is a research
based system and has been scientifically shown to both
speed up English language learning and to ensure proper
pronunciation from the very beginning.
