Chapter 01 : NOT “LAZY” ENGLISH

So what is Effortless English? By “effortless” I certainly don’t mean lazy English. On the contrary, “effortless English” is going to be the result of the work you put in every day. By following my system, you will make progress and achieve the result of speaking naturally and “effortlessly” (unforced, without stress, hesitation or nervousness).

In other words, “effortless” is the result, not the beginning. Your goal is to speak English effortlessly. You want the words to flow out without thinking, without translating, without worry or hesitation. You want to speak English just as you speak your own native language. Effortless speaking is the final result, and sometimes it takes a lot of effort to become effortless!

It is possible, however, to thoroughly enjoy that effort. The example I like to use is that of an athlete or artist “in the zone.” “In the zone” means performing excellently and effortlessly. When an athlete is “in the zone” at one level, they are working very hard – expending a lot of energy, pushing, totally focused. However, when they are enjoying themselves and completely focused, the activity FEELS effortless to them. There is no feeling of forcing, straining, etc.

In fact, the name Effortless English was inspired by the Taoist idea of “wu wei” or effortless effort. It’s a description of that flow state where you can be expending a lot of effort and yet it feels totally effortless and natural, not forced.

So the point is that Effortless English is not about laziness, quick fixes, or impossible scams… but rather about finding that state of “effortless effort” or “wu wei.” Effortless English means you speak English fluently. You don’t struggle as you speak. You don’t feel nervous or stressed. You don’t think about grammar rules or translations.

When you speak English effortlessly, you communicate your ideas clearly. You express your feelings powerfully. You focus on connecting with other people, not on conjugating verbs. You thoroughly enjoy the process of speaking English as you work, travel and learn.
