Effortless English Podcast | Learn English With Aj Hoge

You know the grammar rules. You can explain them perfectly. But when you try to SPEAK English, you freeze. Here's why: These 5 grammar rules are BLOCKING your fluency. Today, I'm showing you exactly which grammar rules to FORGET—and what to do instead to speak naturally and confidently. THE 5 GRAMMAR RULES TO FORGET: ❌ Rule #1: Articles (A, An, The) ❌ Rule #2: Perfect Tenses (Present Perfect, Past Perfect) ❌ Rule #3: Modal Verbs (Should, Would, Could, Must) ❌ Rule #4: Conditional Sentences (If-Then Structures) ❌ Rule #5: Subject-Verb Agreement These rules slow you down, make you nervous, and stop you from speaking naturally. After teaching for 30 years and helping over 40 million students worldwide, I can tell you: the ones who succeed are the ones who STOP obsessing over these rules. Instead, you need to learn with your ears, not your eyes. Use phrases, not isolated words. Listen deeply and repeatedly to natural English until it becomes automatic.
