Susan: You see, George is a tutor with an online language system called LingQ.
Jane: I do not understand.
Susan: He showed me how to learn on LingQ.
That is what really helped me.
Jane: You mean LingQ's system helped you even more than living with George?
Susan: Well, they both helped me, but LingQ is what really helped me.
Jane: I do not believe you.
I don't get it.
Susan: George made me understand that the way I was learning English was wrong.
I was too concerned about grammar.
I was too afraid to make mistakes.
I was too worried about being embarrassed.
Jane: But don't you need to know grammar to speak well?
Susan: No.
I started to realize that if I enjoyed learning English, it did not matter if I made mistakes.
Making mistakes would not embarrass me.
Making mistakes is a part of learning.
Jane: So how did you learn?
Susan: George told me to just listen and read a lot and to save words and phrases on LingQ.
That is when I started to enjoy the language.
That is when I started to really improve my English.
Jane: Just by not thinking of grammar you actually started to speak better?
Susan: Yes.
I had to forget what I had been taught at school for so many years.
