We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.
-Aristotle, (384 BC - 322 BC) Greek Philosopher


Working as teacher over the past 15 years, I've worked with many students. Some students had bad habits and some had good habits. Most students have so-so habits.

What kind of English learning habits do you have? Are they working for you? Could some of your learning habits be working against you?

Excellence in English speaking won't come from textbooks. It won't come from grammar lessons. It won't come from vocabulary lists. In fact it can't. It's just not possible!

Language learning is different from other kinds of learning. We can't learn English deeply with the same habits and methods we use for math, science, or history. Research has shown again and again that happy and relaxed students acquire languages faster than anxious and bored students. Are you happy and relaxed with your English study?

There are English lessons that keep students happy and help students make maximum progress. How?

1) A Combination of Humor and Fun. Imagine looking forward to studying English. Lessons that are even wild, scary, weird, sexy, and outrageouscould be parts of teaching material! No more forcing it day after day. No more fear or worry. Most important, no more boredom!

2) A student's Maximum Progress and Passion. When you have fun and feel the progress with your English speaking and listening, you become passionate about your learning.

To to ake me as an example, this it the function I should follow as a routine, and I think so should you:

(Passion + Fun) * (the pursuit for God, foreign languages such as English, piano, reading, golf, 18, Sprite, and many other hobbies...) * (every day) = Excellence.
Excellence = one of your habits = rpgs... = La Companhia de Jesus
