British author Nicholas Charles Gee, now living in England, began his business career as an instructor in English in his own private school in Japan. After 16 years of success in that career he became a financially independent entrepreneur as a broadcaster, author and teacher - now focusing his skills on teaching English to non-English speakers in his self created nicks-online-english-school.com, an online English school. He also is the founder of Mason Hill Press, an independent publisher specializing in assisting non-fiction authors market their books. All of this background, in addition to what is evident as a thoroughly informed language specialist's method of teaching and his own encounter with learning Japanese in Japan, resulted in this superb book. `I've lived in Japan for seventeen years, and for the first five years I couldn't speak Japanese. I realised I had to make a change. The only way I was going to improve was to immerse myself in the language. If you make the switch, you can do it too!`
On both his online site and in this book, Nicholas' very well grounded concept of teaching English fluency is stated: `The more you interact with the language, the better your English fluency will become. There are several things you can do on a daily basis to improve your fluency with the language, and the goal is not to do all of them, but just pick a few and ensure that you don't miss to practice at least one on any given day. These methods include reading online news published in English, practice thinking in English, listening to English podcasts, songs and also watching English movies with subtitles in your native language. `
