After spending my whole life studying English, signing up for hundreds of courses and losing motivation and giving up halfway, when I had to order a coffee in an English-speaking country, the waitress did not understand me or maybe she asked me something ( I am not sure yet!!!) and I RAN OUT OF THE BAR VERY EMBARRASSED!!!!
From that moment, a series of events followed, such as having to take my 11-month-old daughter to the hospital because she had a high fever. Since I wasn't able to express myself or make myself understood, I ended up making gestures and taking the doctor's hand and putting it on my daughter's forehead…..HOW EMBARRASING!!!!!!
So, all these unfortunate episodes made me realize that all my lifelong efforts studying grammar had been for nothing. I WAS NO ABLE TO SAY TWO WORDS IN A ROW, MUCH LESS UNDERSTAND ANYTHING THAT IT WAS SAID TO ME!!!
This made me think that the best way to learn a new language was to practice the conversation from the beginning, putting the grammar into practice in a real conversation and not learning endless lists of rules and exceptions.
"PAY MORE ATTENTION TO WHAT YOU SAY AND NOT SO MUCH TO HOW TO SAY IT"
¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡HABLA, HABLA Y HABLA!!!!!!!
Thanks to my personal experience learning English, I have developed my own method based on communication and conversation from day one!!!!
You will forget about BORING traditional grammar.
On the contrary my methodology is based on COGNITIVE GRAMMAR, which seeks the COMMUNICATIVE INTENTION at all times without the need to memorize endless lists of grammar rules and exceptions.
