      The Mini-Story Lesson

      Hello, my superstar English learner! This is Alex. Welcome to our mini-story for “Passion”.

      Before we begin I have something to say. I don’t know whether it is the good news for you or the bad news but when you’re listening to these lessons do not study them. Don’t struggle to memorize. Just relax and listen. If necessary, you can read as well, if you need to. But relax, you’re not trying to memorize anything. Just let it come in. Let the English come into your ears and into your eyes. Don’t think about it. Don’t analyze it. Do not think about grammar. The mini-story lessons will help you learn grammar like native speakers do. Don’t analyze it. Don’t think about grammar rules.
