Notebooks required for our spoken English Course

                               
In the English Aam video mehfil in the first part of this lesson, I have spoken English and Hindi. As we start speaking English we should pick up English words and phrases we come across and use them in our conversations when we speak English with our friends.

Here, we will look at a random collection of words, phrases, collocations, idioms etc. based on what I have spoken in the mehfil and also other things connected with these.

Before we really start off on this part of your spoken English course, I would like you to get a set of books which will help you get the best from the English Aam programme. 

You will need the following books: 200 pages long books - 4 books
                                                  Dictionary - English to your mother tongue
                                                  Dictionary - Your mother tongue to English

The 4 books of 200 pages each will be:

  1. ENGLISH AAM SPOKEN ENGLISH GRAMMAR BOOK
  2. ENGLISH AAM SPOKEN ENGLISH VOCABULARY BOOK
  3. ENGLISH AAM SPOKEN ENGLISH COLLOCATIONS BOOK
  4. ENGLISH AAM SPOKEN ENGLISH CONVERSATIONS BOOK
Watch this English Aam video mehfil for further instructions.

                                      
  Watch this English Aam Spoken English Video Mehfil to understand what books you need for the programme.



Now that you have your books ready, let's start.

Please understand that many, or rather, almost all of these words, collocations, phrases etc. will come before us again and again as we go forward in our mehfils. You have to write these words, etc. as many times in your books as we come across them. This is important.

Write the following in your English Vocabulary Book and find out the meanings of these words from your English-Mother Tongue dictionary. Please do this, it is a part of your English course. You have to write down the words every time and you have to write the meaning of each word every time.

Have you written these collocations in your Spoken English Collocations Book? Good. Now come with me to this English Aam Spoken English Course mehfil and speak English with me. Remember, you have to open your mouth and speak. There is not other method of learning to speak English except practising speaking it. Keep your Spoken English Collocations Book before you as you practise speaking because there are no subtitles in this video mehfil.
