Welcome to Real English Party Online (R.E.P.O) Coaching!
Here, you will gain access to the R.E.P.O. method of coaching by personally guiding you through simplified exercises designed to explain less and use more the English ability you already have to develop the skills you will need to be the life of the English Party…
It is in the free social exchange at the “parties” of life that you will begin to speak Real English.
With decades of experience, we at R.E.P.O. are big fans of English textbooks. They are quite useful for home study and instructing large groups of beginners.
However, we do not rely so heavily on textbooks in R.E.P.O. online lessons as they tend to waste valuable time and energy on NOT physically speaking English.
And it is the physical act of actual speech that is most vital to becoming a Real English speaker.
There are two major approaches to R.E.P.O. English lessons:
Text Based Learning
Video Based Learning
R.E.P.O. Text Based Lessonsenhance the ability to use grammar and gain understanding of it intuitively in the process. You are first given the basic grammatical framework followed by questions and answers in text to read with your R.E.P.O. coach. Then, gap-fill exercises to complete in the same way. The key is learning to take your cues from questions to formulate answers and vice versa. Ultimately, you will gain the ability to use the pattern learned to ask and answer questions quickly and effectively.
R.E.P.O. Video Based Lessons are designed to improve fluency and listening as the two are deeply connected. You will be given a video to watch and do listen and repeat exercises well before the lesson. During the lesson, you will practice asking and answering questions applying the skills rehearsed in the video in real time. The key is using native pronunciation to improve listening comprehension and production/response in real conversation. Ultimately, you will waste less time wondering what someone said and how to make sentences and more time engaging in real conversation.
No matter which method you choose, the most important thing will be repetition. All exercises must be done again and again until they are easy. This is more important than study!
