Barnes English Class Experience,

I have been taking English classes with the Barnes English Institution for three months. Hence, I had taken a
lot of classes in the past: almost two years in my native country. However, experience in Barnes English is
great. I have learned key fundamentals in my pronunciation. The most important thing is the practice of
English language which is the main objective during the class. Having personal classes, face to face, is an
excellent opportunity to improve and to have stable confidence.

Thanks, Jorge

Had you ever instantly know that you'd be totally fascinated by something you were reading. I’m saying,
maybe as you continued to read it, and notice the form of the letters, the shadow of the ink, and the white of
the page, it permitted you to GO INSIDE, and remember a time when learning was easier and more fun.

Which people is this book for?


This book is for people who want to create a positive, healthy relationship with their language skills, &
increase their levels of knowledge & intelligence. No matter what your language situation, whether you're
starting to learn or have perfect English already, I personally guarantee you'll learn new ways of thinking
from this book which will improve your language situation and, more importantly, improve how you feel
about this. Only read this book if you want to transform your relationship with English forever!

8 Step Method

1. Learn Pronunciation from a native speaker. Your country has specific sounds and so does English.
Learn the equivalents in your language e.g. tch in Portuguese is ch in English.
Learn the new sounds aswell. Germans say V for V and W. Push your lips out and say Water.

2. Learn all the words which are similar to your Language. This technique was originally suggested by
Dr Bruno Furst. There are often many patterns between the languages.
http://barnesinstitute.2freedom.com has some collections available for free. By learning, this way
you can pronounce and write in a similar way to your language and your memory will increase.

3. Learn in opposites. For every word there is an opposite. When you learn one word, learn the
opposite at the same time. It is possible to communicate with one word in every language.
Coffee! Coffee? Coffee. Coffee and. Coffee with. Coffee!?
Tea is the opposite of Coffee or no coffee. More literal opposites include Up/Down, Left/Right
A.G. Hawke is certified in 7 languages and uses this technique.
This technique will improve your Memory and Understanding.

4. Learn the Prepositions correctly. Prepositions do Not translate with a dictionary. They are
Kinaesthetic. They are feelings. Russians imagined standing On the road and they say “I'm on the
street”. English imagine the street as a box with the buildings on both sides and the road below so
“I'm in the street”. Practise them in patterns and be the 2nd person to use prepositions correctly (I am
the 1st)

5. Learn Verbs and Nouns in Example Sentences. English people have no idea what a phrasal verb is
or the present past continuous backwards forwards lemon and lime form of a word. Computers and
robots talk like that.
Instead Learn Verbs and Nouns. This is how English people learn at school.
Practise speaking with a native speaker using the verbs/nouns and add the Prepositions you have
already learned.

6. Speaking. Talk, talk, talk and talk some more. Your Professor should correct you continuously until
you speak correctly. You will speak perfect English today! is the attitude of an awesome teacher.
If the student has very basic English then Flash Cards with both languages on are excellent and give
the student a real sense of progress.

7. Children's books. An extra great thing for students also is to have a children's grammar book for
homework. Children's grammar books are so simple even a child could use them. There is a list of
10 pronunciation patterns which are all similar so when the student understands they will find it very
easy to remember. A children's picture dictionary is also a brilliant thing. They have the pictures
and 3 patterns of sentences with synonyms. These also make a class easier to teach.

8. Computer Programs
Through learning Portuguese I have discovered a large number of excellent language learning
programs. In some ways they are better than teachers and I think you should use computer programs
together with a teacher to double your learning. Learn new words and patterns with the computer
and test them with a teacher. Rosetta Stone is brilliant for learning patterns, pronunciation and uses
pictures to make you remember even more. Before You Know It gives you perfect memory of
phrases and words with the pronunciation emphasised.

Copyright © 05/26/2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media


You can slow the voices to half speed to really focus your pronunciation and I have remembered
phrases 14 days after I learned them. FSI is the most comprehensive course I have ever taken,
unfortunately its not available for learning English. Fast free translators and dictionaries such as
Wordweb and Freelang are excellent additions to your studies.

For Advanced Students


An advanced student doesn't have to learn more English. They can already
communicate. So its important to teach them useful things which add
something to their lives. I recommend:

Learn the things for your job. Ask students about their jobs and
offer to let them bring work books to your class.

Learn things about money. A student has asked me many times to help
him with his bank account (he used to work in a bank aswell). The
student is paying complete attention to whatever you teach them and
will remember more if the subject is important to them. I have found
money to be an amazing motivator for me learning a 2nd language. I
will read a foreign magazine for hours because of the money hidden
inside the language (i'm going to find more of it). If you want to
double the students motivation then use:

Friends and Relationships. If you can teach a person the skills to


talk to the opposite sex they will find themselves happy to practise
and may keep their teacher longer. Social skills are a great
motivator.

Do what you love. What do you love doing? If the person loves
History (some people do) then grab a 50p history book from a charity
shop and make them read it. In terms of pronunciation you can have a
student read their favourite subject and correct/explain as you go
along. This type of class is maximum benefit for student and teacher.
Most students are happy to learn by themselves and just want a teacher
to correct them. Give them what they want.

Read a newspaper. Specifically, read your favourite section. Girls


go to the Star signs whilst Guys go to the Sports. In London they
give Free newspapers in the street and there are local free papers
elsewhere in the country.

Study for an exam. These include the Cambridge First Certificate


(FCE), Cambridge Advanced Certificate (CAE), IELTS, English GCSE.
Having an exam to study for gives you a definite target. Cambridge
covers 5 parts of English and so will offer you a variety of skills
which you can use before, during and after the exam. IELTS has no
pass grade and the English GCSE is taken by English people at 16 so
its a good comparison to native English.

Learn idioms and phrasal verbs. These give you an extra something and
link the other parts of English together. An idiom often explains
certain situations very effectively. Phrasal verbs are a part of
native English. We (English people) don't ever learn these and so we
my find them hard to explain. They are worth studying and a quick tip
is that:

Copyright © 05/26/2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media


Phrasal verbs are usually 2 words which mean the same as 1 word e.g.
carry on = continue

Newsletters: Every website has a newsletter nowadays. Type in your


name/nickname and email address and you will receive free
information on your favourite subject. They usually arrive every 7
days which gives you plenty of time to read the best ones.

Learn from many methods and sources. Every method and techniques
has several benefits. Some are better for memory, others for
pronunciation and native English is the best thing about a few
methods. You will get the most learning from the most sources.
And the patterns you make will be more accurate. If 3 different
methods all say the same way to learn Verbs then you know learning
this way is a good idea. I meet students who studied with only 1
method before me and they were sure about the things they knew. To
be sure you need to hear 3 different people say it correctly for
example, then it will be obvious this is correct.

Music. I remembered every word from every song I listened to when


I was young (and still now I think). I even remember words from
Portuguese artists and I don't speak Portuguese fully yet. Get the
music from your target language. And make patterns. I heard
students say they only want to learn British English and English
culture is quite Americanised anyway. If you learn American and
English together you will hear the similarities between the 2. Then
you will realise if a word is used in both countries its essential
to remember.

After the Class


Write a Story: A polish student told me he learned german in 1 year by taking his notes from the class and
writing a story. This story will contain all of the new things you learn in my class. Then in our next class
you read the story to me whilst I correct your pronunciation and writing. Awesome, isn't it.

Remember 87% of what you learn: To remember 87% of what you learn, Practise it immediately, Review
the things you learned after 2 hours (or at the end of the class), Write the notes into your own words and
then Read your notes the next day. Its not essential to do all of these parts and if you do you will learn more.
For example if I test you at the end of the class then its not necessary to rewrite the notes at home. They are
more or less equal in value.

Dicas Quentes
Hot Tips

Copyright © 05/26/2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media


Techniques to
Use with Every Stage

Patterns. A pattern is when we do things 3 times. 3 times is a pattern.


1st time: it could be a coincidence.
2nd time: lucky
3 times: its a pattern. Something is happening here. Its repeatable and predictable and probably
worth remembering.
Teach students in 3s. They understand patterns. Its a thing humans understand.
With pronunciation I suddenly write 3 words with the same letters an ask them to pronounce.
Sometimes they realise that I wrote them because they sound the same and say them correctly for
the 1st time.
You can say things in a pattern

New pattern technique: if there was something you made mistakes with e.g. the/a/an were not in
sentences. Then translate 3 examples of the correct English into your language.

The government believed


The USA is a big place
I like the UK

When you translate you will See some similarity. For example I did this with a polish guy and 2 of
the sentences translated the same. Both sentences did not have The. In English a collection of
countries/states/counties is “The UK, The US, The USSR”. In polish The is missing.
And it is still equal. Between portuguese and English > vai = going to. If you look for similarities
you will find them. OK OK.
Native Level English is the ability to translate 5 different phrases/sentences with identical
meaning immediately.
Your language is wonderful and you coffee is great, now decide to learn things quickly and easily.

Sequence: How do we remember days, months, numbers and similar things. Through sequence
and due to this being popular in every language we can make use of it. A student didn't
pronounce Thursday correctly and mixed it up with Tuesday (as many people did). So I say the
days either side of Thursday:
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday then Thursday, Friday, Saturday then Tuesday, Wednesday,
Thursday.
Then I ask the student to say all the days to me in sequence and they do so perfectly.
This technique makes use of patterns (do things 3 times), grouping (days) and of course
sequence.
I use this for numbers aswell and because the student already has numbers/days stored in their
mind this way. They recognise it immediately. It is familiar, which is according to Virginia Satir the
greatest need within humans.

Copyright © 05/26/2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media


Personal Flash Cards: Students often have plenty of time to, learn new things. A spare hour or 2
during the day and sitting on the train/bus staring into space. I began reading because I had a 1.5
hour journey to college everyday. Reading seems very exciting when there was nothing else to
do. Teachers can create flash cards from the improvements the student must make. Students are
very willing to use the cards. They create the opportunity to practise the things you teach thus a
person progresses to the next level.

Reward Good Behaviour: A teacher smiling, giving applause, looking excited or anything you can
think of can show a person they are doing well. When you was a baby people were so happy and
excited when you said one word. This amount of joy can inspire anyone, even adults. I recently
started giving students chocolate if they do well, you can do this if you like making people happy.
Maybe you can direct exceptional students to extra free resources e.g.
http://barnesinstitute.2freedom.com
I remember Maths at primary school. I was really enjoying the books, I did all the exercises and
then I asked for another book or more exercises. Primary Teacher didn't give me anything. So 20
minutes of unfun and I loved maths. But then when they started teaching silly stuff at secondary
school I stopped.
I could be doing a maths degree right now (boring) if a teacher had given me extra maths books.
Help your students learn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, OK
If they asked to learn something in the class and you don't know about it yet, google it later and
send them the information you find. They will appreciate it and you will make more money in the
future.
If you are learning English then reward yourself.
5 cans of beer or a big bar of chocolate after studying all day is good for you and You deserve it.

MP3 Recorder: This can be for teachers who record their classes to give to students or for people
learning English who can record new words/phrases they learn during the day. This is a useful
tool whenever you decide to use it. I bought a portable MP3 player for £17 and discovered it has a
recording function. The quality is surprisingly good also in fact its the best recorder I have had and
that includes large stereo systems.

Use English to Describe English: If you want True native English then forget grammar terms. Past
present continuous backward forward lemon and lime is Not English. Robots speak better English
than grammar books did. If a word is Continuous then its true for yesterday, today and tomorrow.
e.g. He drinks coffee (everyday). Everytime you Use English to describe English you make the
memories deeper and its quicker than translating between languages. You will Fill your mind with
synonyms automatically this way.

In a sky full of people


Only some want to fly
isn't that crazy?

Read sentences backwards: I'm learning some Portuguese now and to make my pronunciation of
sentences smooth i'm reading them backwards.
When you pronounce a sentence backwards your brain goes “oh this is easy forwards, it was hard

backwards”. People learn by comparing what's different.

Accelerated English

Through my own experience of learning languages, teaching languages and reading the most advanced
methods available; I have discovered many techniques which speed up learning. These will be listed here
and I expect you to practise each one of them immediately.

All new learnings go into short term memory. If you practise it now then it will go into long term memory.

The strength of a memory is created through feelings, sounds, smells; the parts of experience. The more of
these you use the stronger the memory is.

Words linked to pictures are easier to remember. So imagine what the words mean. Imagine the new
English words you learn written on the actual thing. So you see a door with the word Door written on it and
maybe someone saying “can you open the Door please”.

To remember 88% of the things you learn its recommend that you:
Immediately practise
Test after a few minutes.
Review after the first hour.
Quick review when you wake up
Quick review after 7 days.
Quick review after a month.

You can adapt this schedule yourself to increase your memory.


For example I make students write/say 3 examples when they 1st learn something.
Then I review at the end of the class
and I suggest they write my notes neatly at home (this is optional)
of course in the next class I will hear and see if the corrections are there; so another review happens.

Learn the specifics: Nouns and Verbs are easiest to learn 1st

Context is useful. Say “can I have £20 on my Oyster card please” and the person puts £20 on your oyster
card. This is proof for your mind that those words in this situation are correct. Because language represents
things. If you get what you want then the words are correct.

Short songs such as nursery rhymes as excellent for memorising pronunciation, words and structure.

Copyright © 05/26/2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media


Classes should have 5 minute relax times in the middle.
Sorting ideas and words into categories improves memory.
Learning the principle is easier than individual examples.
Meaning is vital to memory > so make sure you learn meaningful and useful things.
Context is important.
Learning by example is better than repetition. The more general the examples the more situations you can
apply the information in.

Rhythm and rhyme helps memory. Its organised and creates emotion.
Memory is an associated connection of various ideas. So Mind Maps are excellent tools for remembering
things.
Sentences are easier to remember than individual words and so stories are great for building word structure
on top of previous learnings.
We all have photographic memory. Remember the last film you saw. Cool. Use this skill to learn your new
languages.
Music uses the right brain which a lot of note taking learning doesn't.
Reading English with your original language translated next to it; allows your unconscious mind to translate
the text with your peripheral vision.
Show the student the English in 3 senses: sight, sound and feeling. e.g. high 5, thumb war,

Learning Strategies

Affirmations

Say each affirmation until you believe it. When you are smiling and happy you may believe it.

English is easy. I can learn anything. I'm great at a many things. I am a genius.
I can learn English in 7 days. I am totally brilliant. When I have mastered English I am going to teach it.
When I have perfected English I can teach my own language and earn £20 an hour. I am going to speak
English better than the person who taught me. I speak to native English speakers all the time. This is
soooooo easy. I learned 1 language before I was 5 with no grammar, So learning English now, is going to
be very easy.

Write your commitment. Make yourself a Target, a Goal and do it Now!! e.g. I am going to learn English
quickly & easily. I am going to learn English within 1 month.
(Write these before you come to your 1st Barnes Method class)

I am going to learn English by:


(e.g. The 25th of December)

Messenger Method

Translate everything the other persons writes and make sure you Translate the meaning. Its ok to
translate literally at first (the words) then immediately change it into something Native speakers
understand. This will develop your translating intuition and make your response time even faster.

>new technique
Barnes says:
listen to Russell Brand Radio show
Barnes says:
or Micheal Neill
Barnes says:
from internet
Barnes says:
then ask me questions while you listen
Barnes says:
i will listen to portuguese music or watch a film
Barnes says:
and ask you questions
Barnes says:
i like about songs
Barnes says:
that you learn what the words mean
Barnes says:
and then everytime you listen
Barnes says:
you remember the words
Barnes says:
girl told me that "a onde" in a Tribalistas song
Barnes says:
means Where are you
Barnes says:
i remember everytime i hear the song
Barnes says:
there's a bit with Portuguese rapper Sam the Kid
Barnes says:
he says "chhhhh calma atmosfera"
Barnes says:
and i remember "shhhh calm atmosphere" em ingles
Barnes says:
so let's take this to the next level
so maybe learning from music is most effective method?

Learn from music: Listen to your English music while using messenger (msn) with a native speaker. Ask
questions about what you hear. Pery useful method.

Exception and Exceptional are almost the same word. Be the best. Study Barnes Method.

Language is the accumulated wisdom

Richard Bandler: Creator of NLP

Pronunciation, Patterns and Adjustments

English is Not phonetic

The word phonetic in English is not spelled with an F. It is pronounced as Fonetic which could confuse
users of languages like Portuguese (fonetica). If you learn the language as patterns then it will become
easier. The reason I can say 90% of English correctly is because my brain looks for visual similarities.

My brain also remembers similar words as only one sound. Examples of this I often teach are by/bye/buy
and to/too/two. These words all sound the same (equal) because its easier to remember them like this. Read
this list and when you know the pronunciation of 1 of the words then you can pronounce them all the same.
Trust me, I am a doctor. If I hear another “really?!” I am going to make you listen to English people. Now,
us English people all understand this system, so you can too (to/two).

Because these are the 100 most popular words. Learn them! Learn the pronunciation with a native speaker
and practise forming them into 2 and 3 word groups.

e.g. At the. there at.


and now with some context. At the time. At the moment. At 2 o clock. At the cafe. Remember to say these
phrases with the same emotion and gestures you do in your language. This improves your memory.

Write a relevant example sentence for every word.

Adjustments

Languages such as Italian, Spanish and Portuguese are very similar to English and to each other. Yes, yes
your country is wonderful and your coffee is great, relax now.
With Portuguese you can change many of your words slightly (adjust them) and they become English words.
In fact you don't even have to change your pronunciation.

The meaning of communication is the response you get. If people understand you then you are correct. If
you want an English accent then get it later, maybe a day later if you want to.

The main point of this is many Portuguese words have an extra Syllable. For example Ter-mo
(Termo) in Portuguese is 2 syllables and Term in English is 1 syllable. Just by pronouncing 1 syllable

Copyright © 05/26/2009 Perry Barnes All Rights Reserved in All Media


less, you have the English word. No translation required. Even with an accent English people will
still understand you, so get going.

Pronunciation Adjustments: U is pronounced as You in English,


U = You,

Similar Words

There are many similar words in Portuguese and English. These words may have the same amount of
Syllables. For example Imagens in English is Images, both words contain 3 syllables and so a slight
adjustment is needed.

Hallo,

ich war ein knappes viertel Jahr beruflich in London (Rechtsabteilung einer Baufirma). Die Zeit wollte ich
vor allem nutzen, um mein Englisch zu verbessern. Es war nicht so einfach, eine adäquate Möglichkeit
hierfür zu finden. Ich habe mir diverse Angebote
angeschaut und leider fast vier Wochen verloren, ehe ich das Passende gefunden habe. Ein Problem war,
dass es nicht so viel Angebote für Leute gibt, die den ganzen Tag im Büro sind und erst nach 18.30 Zeit
haben. Sprachkurse wären nicht effizient genug gewesen. Außerdem hätte ich zu viel Zeit verloren, um zum
Kursort zu kommen. Ich habe
also versucht "one-to-one" Trainer zu finden. Nachdem ich einige Sitzungen mit preisgünstigen Anbietern
hatte, die jedoch aufgrund nicht vorhandener Kompetenz nicht zielführend waren, habe ich etablierte
Anbieter probiert. Die waren leider teuer und unflexibel. In Woche fünf habe ich einen talentierten und
zuverlässigen "teacher" gefunden, mit dem ich sehr effizient bis zum Schluss durchgearbeitet habe. Er hat
meine Fehler sehr schnell analysiert und zielgerichtet gegengesteuert. Obwohl wir jeden zweiten Tag eine
Sitzung hatten, wurde es nie langweilig. Wir haben z.B. auch Themen vorbereitet, die
ich am nächsten Tag in Besprechungen abhandeln musste. Von Vorteil war auch, dass er ohne Zusatzkosten
nach Canary Wharf kam, sodass unsere Sitzungen im Anschluss an die Arbeit stattfinden konnten. Leute, die
in einer ähnlichen Situation sind und nicht vier Wochen verlieren möchten, können "Pery" unter folgenden
Koordinaten erreichen: 07963960499 oder learnenglish@london.com.
