What's this all about??
Who we are is not important but here are a few factoids about the creator of The Magic of English and 23+ Language Learning Hacks.
Born in the middle of the UK more than half a century ago, KelvinLeeGrant has been either teaching or learning languages for as long as he can remember -wherever, whenever and in whatever.
For over forty years, in more than 9 countries*, he has been assisting students in their language learning journeys, in all styles, to people of any age, any profession.
Over this time, his language learning Pedagogy or Philosophy or style has undergone umpteen changes, zig-zagging endlessly from one extreme to the other.
Adapted to the technological imperatives of e-learning and m-learning, it is quietly settling into a multi-vibrational, multi-sense, multidimensional state of flux, the essence, now but reduced to just one three-word catchphrase. An encapsulated summary of all you need. Of what you need to do to master English.
YOU HAVE THE POWER
YOU ARE AWESOME
YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE, COURAGE AND FAITH
In The Master Key system it is written: “….The only way to keep from going backward is to keep going forward. Eternal vigilance is the price of success. There are three steps, and each one is absolutely essential. You must first have the knowledge of your power; second, the courage to dare; third, the faith to do…….”
YOU HAVE EXTRAORDINARY ABILITY
You have the skills and techniques to transform the way you learn English and effortlessly remember and confidently use all kinds of English expressions: from idioms and colloquialisms and aphorisms to poems and lyrics in songs and complete dialogues and monologues… and much more.
We at The Magic of English &23 Language Learning Hacks believe that learning English is, among other things, all about making a commitment; it’s about making a promise to yourself. In some courses I teach, I get students to write out a simple contract between them and me. Enforceable only by cosmic law, it reaffirms their agreement to do something in English for at least 10 minutes a day 6 days a week.
Go here to see a sample contract. Print it out then fill it in and stick it on a wall where you see it every day.
You now have the chance to learn English in a unique and very powerful way.
You can begin now to see how the activities at ArtyEnglish and Holo-Meme can help you supercharge your learning.
Using your Creative Imagination you will radically increase your focus and accelerate your English learning.
Make the commitment now! Make the promise! Get that contract here. See above for what we think you are and what you are capable of.
