Now the point of view story, or stories actually, are designed to teach you</p> <p>grammar intuitively. Now there are a few important things you need to know and you</p> <p>need to think about when you're doing this lesson. Or actually, there's a few things that</p> <p>you need to know that you should not think about and the number one thing you should</p> <p>not think about are grammar rules. Do not think about grammar rules. Very important.</p> <p>Now I know you've been taught grammar rules for many years so it's hard to get that</p> <p>out of your brain. But it's very hard to unlearn that information. Because you learned</p> <p>grammar in an analytical way.</p> <p>What that means is you intellectually learned grammar. You learned, okay, well the past</p> <p>progressive is this and we use it in these situations and da, da, da, da, duh...and you</p> <p>took all these grammar tests. And it totally confused your brain so that when you</p> <p>actually speak, you don't know how to speak with proper grammar. It comes out wrong.</p> <p>You take a grammar test, maybe you do very well. But when you speak your grammar</p> <p>sucks, it's terrible! What's the problem here? Well, it's because you learned grammar</p> <p>rules and terms. You studied it. You analyzed it. You memorized these rules. But you</p> <p>didn't learn it intuitively, naturally. It did not get deep into your brain the way a native</p> <p>speaker knows grammar.</p> <p>So the point of view stories are designed to teach you the way a native speaker learns</p> <p>grammar. And we learn grammar by listening, by understanding meaning, by</p> <p>understanding patterns. So when you listen to these stories, here's the good news.</p> <p>Just listen. Smile. Shoulders back. Feel great and just listen. Don't think about</p> <p>anything. Don't think about rules, none of that. Just relax and enjoy the story. Notice</
