4.5 out of 5 stars 335 ratings

Includes a free audio version of the entire book. If you’re struggling to learn English and speak English in your work, business or daily life you’re in the right place. Master English FAST - An Uncommon Guide to Speaking Extraordinary English, by Julian Northbrook, will show you step-by-step what to do as an intermediate or advanced English learner to speak English as a second language.

In Master English
FAST you will discover:

Chapter 1 - Why Your English Sucks

In Chapter 1 you will learn the top six reasons you struggle to speak English well... even though you have been learning English for a long time.

Chapter 2 - Start with Why

Why are you here, learning English? In Chapter 2 you learn about your goals and what language you need to learn to live life in English. You'll also learn why YouTube may be stopping you from speaking English well... and what you need to do to be better at English.

Chapter 3 - Language and Language Learning 101

What is language? How can you learn a language effectively? What is "holistic learning"? And what are the three things essential to extraordinary English Speaking? What about pronunciation and accent? You'll discover the answer to these questions, and more, In Chapter 3.

Chapter 4 - How English Mastery Really Works

In Chapter 4 Julian talks in detail about his two-step method for mastering English, which he likes to call the 'world's simplest English Mastery method' ... it really is that easy.

Chapter 5 - Learning All the Language You Need

How many words do you actually need to speak English well? And what should you learn first? You're probably wasting a lot of time learning things that you don't need. Hint: most native English speakers only use about 2.5% of their language.

Chapter 6 - Learning Language Focused on Fluency and Naturalness

Native speakers don't speak using grammar rules and individual words like you were taught in school. Instead, they use a different type of language to speak fluently and naturally. If you want to speak English like a native speaker, then, you need to learn this kind of language too.

Chapter 7 - How to Sound Good and Not Be Boring

Just learning the language is not enough if you want to speak excellent English. You also need to know how to use that language to talk about things that are interesting and engaging to the listener. Chapter 7 shows you how.

Chapter 8 - The Big “C” of Speaking Well

In this chapter, you will read all about culture - what it is, and why it's so important for you speaking English as a second language (especially business English). You will also learn about humour and being funny when you speak English, what to do when you don't understand someone's culture, and how to learn culture quickly and easily.

Chapter 9 - Choosing Learning Materials

What are the best materials to learn English? Julian did a lot of research on this for his PhD work and it's NOT textbooks (but also not most of the things you might find on the internet or YouTube). Chapter 9 will show you the best materials for learning and improving your English, fast.

Chapter 10 - Fantastic Fluency

This chapter is all about building fluency, and Julian shares with you several effective exercises and techniques for practising your fluency.

Chapter 11 - Speaking Accurately and Naturally

In Chapter 11 Julian teaches you several exercises for learning to speak natural English. This is not the same as speaking accurate English...

Chapter 12 - Effective Speaking Made Dead Simple

Finally, in chapter 12 Julian teaches you how to go beyond just speaking English well... and speak English REALLY well. Julian's goal for you is to get you speaking extraordinary English that makes people go, "Wow!!".

    MEF, unlike any other English books, dose not teach me any grammar rules or vocabulary but the “mindset” of mastering English, languages, and even anything I wanna learn. The methods mentioned in this book is unconventional but is evidence based. After carefully reading it and putting the methods into my daily learning routine, I now can speak and even write English fearlessly, which is something I have been struggling with for a long time. Now the learning routine I’ve learnt in this book is working on everything I wanna learn. Highly recommend it!

    It's an interesting book, butI would like that the book had links to some practice excercises. The link given in the book in the resources chapter is just a link to the webpage of author wich doesn't have any resource.

    Before reading this book, I had gone after the conversation practice with a native speaker and increasing vocabulary for my English skill. Nevertheless, I felt myself like shooting a gun with scarcity ammunition when I speak; my brain seldom loaded words what I had memorized.

    I was fortunate to get this book. It introduces the holistic and efficient spot-on approach to the language learning. The introduced way including the dictation, shadowing, and speaking practices are the series of fortitude. However, weeks ago I talked with a foreign friend who is fluent in English for hours without noticing the English is not my first language. I strongly recommend this book to whom want to increase his English skill over a mediocre level.

    Great method. If you are looking for a English course book this isn't for you. This is about learning how to learn. In my opinion it's worth to read it.

    Reviewed in France on October 2, 2018
    J'ai lu ce bouquin en une après midi et demie , moi qui lit rien et qui est du mal ... Je me suis retrouvé dans certains aspects qui font que nous puissions être bloqués au niveau intermédiaires.

    Ce livre vous propose une autre façon d’améliorer (vraiment ) votre niveau et peut je pense s'appliquer à toutes les langues que vous souhaitez... c'est basé sur sur du pragmatique : plus tu fais et plus tu as , si tu ne fais rien tu n'auras rien ...

    Je recommande vraiment ...
