Hi everyone. I know you are going to enjoy this post. I know it will get you really excited and thinking about how you will achieve your dreams of learning excellent spoken English. I’m going to make a very ‘bold’ statement here, but I really mean it! Here goes….

“If You Do Everything I Ask You In This Article, You Will Learn How To Speak Excellent English Quicker And Easier Than You Ever Thought Possible”

I know that’s a big promise to live up to. But I believe in OVER-delivering on my promises and commitments… especially to you guys, my fantastic English students.

So let’s get going shall we…..

Let me start by explaining what ACCOUNTABILITY actually means?

”The obligation to bear the consequences for failure to perform as expected”

So how does this relate to learning excellent English speaking skills in super quick time?

It’s quite simple…. let me explain.

You need to find someone that will hold you accountable – maybe it’s someone similar to yourself who is trying to learn how to speak English. You need to be able to share with them your dreams and aspirations – why is it that you want to learn how to speak excellent English….

For example….“I want to be a fluent English speaker in 6 months because I want to land my dream job at the a multi-national company” OR “I must become an excellent English speaker so I can move to the USA in 12 months with my family”.

Do you get the point? You need to define your ‘end game’ in a certain timeframe.

Once you have shared your goal with your new Accountability Partner, you are ready to begin the process.

Once every week, you will set up a 30 minute discussion (telephone or in person) and ask each other the following questions:

Did you complete the work / training / practice that you committed to do last week (the answer need only be a ‘YES’ or ‘NO’ response.
After that, explain how that made you feel (e.g. if you achieved what you set out to do, your response could be “by practicing my English speaking for 30 minutes every day, I felt so much more confident in my English speaking lesson yesterday”).
Finally, advise what are you committing to doing over the next 7 days to improve your English speaking skills?

It’s nothing more than that! And trust me, this process works. Don’t ask me why, it just does.

Remember learning how to speak excellent English is much more than having excellent learning methods and excellent lessons. It’s also making sure that YOU are doing what you committed to do. Making yourself accountable to someone else who has similar goals is a fantastic way of realizing your English dreams!

Your next task is to go and find your Accountability Partner. Think carefully about the person you select. It needs to be someone that you can trust, be open with and ultimately, be accountable to!

Now, more than any other post, I want you to really follow through on everything I’ve told you. This may just be your single biggest missing element to your English speaking success. So I want you to tell me in the comments section below that you are COMMITTED to this and also to tell me how you are getting on!
