Method Callan Now

Moving too fast. Wrong: Finishing one lesson per day. Right: Repeating the same lesson for 3-5 days.

Also, the teacher asks different questions. One minute you talk about the past. The next minute you talk about the future. The next minute you describe a picture. The class is active, not passive. You do not need a teacher to use this method. You can practice alone. Here is my advice:

Cover the book. Only listen and speak.

Listening to slow English only. Wrong: Always using 0.75x speed. Right: Using 1x speed and repeating until you understand. Final Verdict: Does the Callan Method Work? Yes. It works.

Play the audio. The speaker asks a question. Pause the audio. Answer in a full sentence. Then play the audio again to check. method callan

Do not slow down the audio. Listen at normal speed. If you cannot understand, listen again. Your brain will learn.

The teacher asked me these same questions three times during the lesson. Now I cannot forget present continuous, past continuous, and future tense. Here are my results. I am not a special student. I am normal. But the method works.
