Recently, in Russia and the countries of the former Soviet Union, people began to receive dubious messages on their phones. The whole phone is already crammed with these offers, the memory is clogged, but in fact, they are all trying to breed people. I can't remember exactly which site right now, I still have to look.

But people are promised to improve their skills very quickly, for example, to learn English in two weeks, it is definitely impossible to learn it in such a short period of time, and they offer it for money. In fact, a person can accept this offer and pay money. But in the end, a person receives neither knowledge nor money. All his money goes into the hands of scammers who are trying to cash in on gullible people and have launched sending such messages throughout the country. They have been on my mom's phone for a long time, and friends, they are from time to time, but often talk about the offers that come. The most popular is to learn English in two weeks, in second place, I am sixty years old and I mastered the computer in two days, and the third is the secret miracle of the technique for SMS. Just imagine what secret methods we can talk about, a person receives an SMS, he reads and intrigues, and pays money to the swindler's wallet, but in the end he does not receive anything of value. And such a scam can go to a lot of people who need to be told about it. So that they know in advance what you can and cannot get involved with, and they will not receive any skills from the money spent. And if people want to master a computer in two days, then such messages come to older people who do not understand computers at all. Then imagine an old man was offered to master a computer in a couple of days, but he didn’t understand it at all, he decided to pay and get this course. But in fact, he did not learn anything, the old man was handed a scribble, according to which, not only that one can learn a computer, but nothing is clear at all. He can sit down to figure it out and learn what he needs. And you don't have to pay for it at all. Under no circumstances should you go for such offers. It is not clear why people send SMS, I can’t even call them people. They think that there are such naive people who will believe, and there are even such people. When the phone is already full of these offers, and you can’t indicate the site, it constantly changes with scammers, just to get money out. Then if such offers are received, then in no case do you need to pay, it is better to contact a trusted company.

When a dubious SMS arrives, it is better to delete it immediately, or at the end of cleaning in a week, it is also not bad to delete all SMS together. The main thing is not to click on links, not to call the scammer numbers indicated in the SMS, and the owner of the message himself does not need to write or call anything either. The most important thing is not to mess with them. There are messages with sugary offers that can be mistaken for real offers, very profitable deals that are a scam. Many more offers may come that came out of nowhere, when you didn’t even get to know the person and don’t know where it comes from, this is also a divorce. Only connect with people in real life, and then only with people you know well. And if you don’t know how to take action, read what they write, or contact the police to detect the number from which offers were received. And whoever has a blocker on the phone, then block the owners of such a number from which SMS was received immediately so that you are not disturbed and you live in peace. Know everything is in your hands, and you can learn the same English on your own, or contact a teaching school. The computer is the same, you can learn it yourself, or go to courses only in real life.

Guys, those who still do not understand that it is impossible to learn a language in 2 weeks, understand, YOU must learn the language. Nobody will teach it for you. No invited native speakers (as in advertising), no money, no deadlines will help you if you yourself do not want it.

It is impossible to learn a foreign language in 2 weeks. You can learn, with reservations, a foreign language in six months, a year or a year and a half. These are real terms, but not in 2 weeks. At best, in 2 weeks it will be possible to memorize a few phrases in order to say something to someone somewhere. Now I do not mean polyglots, who, in principle, are able to quickly understand the meaning of a foreign language, but I mean ordinary people, not polyglots.

There is another very important factor. If there is no communication with people in a foreign language, then the language will be quickly forgotten. You need constant interest in the language and constant exercises. And anyway, once in the country of the language, you will sit in a puddle, because native speakers speak quickly, abbreviate a lot and nothing will be clear.

Only under the condition of long-term residence in the country of the language being studied is there a guarantee, unless of course the person is a complete idiot, that the language will be studied by itself and will be understandable. This happens (many people talk about it) after about 1-3 years of living in the country of the language being studied.

Therefore, all these courses on "complete language learning in 2 weeks" you know what you can call it. It would be better if they didn’t fool people’s heads, but directly called their courses “let’s teach a few phrases in English” or “how to partially understand an interlocutor on the street or in a cafe” or something like that. I think you understood what I wanted to say.

A particularly gifted (without irony) individual can learn a language in 2 weeks, but a particularly gifted individual does not need any courses. He will learn the language without them.

I will say again that no one except YOU needs knowledge of any language. No one. Everyone else only wants YOUR money. That's it. Why am I? You can, absolutely free of charge, lay the foundations of the language in yourself. To do this, you just need to take the right course of study and follow the instructions of those who created this course. Yes, I do not deny that live communication with the teacher and fellow students is important and necessary. But this can be done in addition to the main course (free and chosen by you), and not vice versa.

When I decided to learn English, it took me only 2 months to understand the teaching methods, their differences, in order to choose a universal way of learning. 2 months just to understand the techniques and a year took intensive training, which continues to this day. Do you understand? And here you are offered to learn the language to a fluent level in 2 weeks. you can read my thoughts and some secrets from my own experience. Therefore, think before you carry 15 or 50 thousand to someone for something that you have to do yourself.

In 2 weeks, the advertisement promises to teach you how to communicate fluently in English. You know, I'll digress a little now and try to express one thought that I've known for a long time. There is no freedom. Everywhere they declare freedom, but there is none. For the simple reason that everything in the world is subject to strict rules.

The planet Earth is tied to its orbit and revolves around the Sun. Where is the freedom here? Our planet, perhaps, has long wanted to fly somewhere away from its frying master. Yes, it's just not possible. The Sun itself is also tied to its place in the Galaxy, and the Galaxy to its place in the Universe. And the Universe, most likely, does not float freely somewhere and exists as it wants, but obeys some laws, the understanding of which is inaccessible to us.

They tell us everywhere, from TV, anywhere, from advertising, that, they say, be free, be fashionable, be something else. Yes, and the church claims that the free will of a person is the main feature of a person. But the whole point is that a person consists of many molecules that act by no means freely, but according to rigidly established rules. At the molecular level, there is no longer any freedom. And the will of a person and he himself, most likely, is no longer free. They are hostages of the rules that exist and that really work. A person cannot be without water, food, air for a long time. And how can a non-free being have free will? Even if, suppose he can, his free will will still run into natural/physical constraints.

Protons, electrons, nuclei - everything is in its place and they are not able to change places. As if a person does not want real freedom - it simply does not exist. There is just a set of rules. If this set of rules can be called freedom, then please. But freedom means absolutely everything. Is not it? Yes, but for some reason a person does not fly like a bird, although he is told everywhere that he is “free”. He created various aircraft, but he himself, on his own, cannot fly, although he wants to, according to numerous testimonies.

And so in everything and everywhere. If there were freedom (it exists, of course, but is inaccessible to man), then humanity would achieve a comfortable life, universal prosperity. But, the economy obeys its own rules, including those invented by man. Therefore, there is no free market to speak of.

The same goes for language. Impossible to be fluent in the language. It's just not possible. And when some cunning guys say that they will teach you to speak fluently English in 2 weeks, then you should strain yourself and think very well before carrying your money to them.

Today, the topic of learning foreign languages ​​is very relevant. Every second seeks to learn English for travel, study or business. This is used by language schools, teachers and creators of various online courses. There are many methods for learning foreign languages, but the most popular are those that are focused on quick results. Some of them promise that you will learn the language in 2 weeks. Doubtful, right? And yet there are people who believe in such a quick result. But this is just a myth. And here are some facts that will dispel it!

Are there people who have learned a foreign language in 2 weeks? Think about whether there are such among your friends. After all, if there is such a technique, then there are people who have mastered a non-native language in such a short time. It is very easy to check this. Ask those who speak any foreign language at an intermediate level how long it took them to learn it. Believe me, no one will say that in 2 weeks.
Then the question arises of what this technique teaches and on what principles it is built. Everything is simple. It focuses on memorizing simple phrases and elementary, common words in a foreign language. This way, in two weeks you will be able to tell what your name is, where you live and what your favorite color is.
Such courses do not mention what specific foreign language you will speak after passing it. Usually they just promise: "Learn English in 2 weeks." In fact, no one is deceiving anyone. You really learn, only then it turns out that your and their understanding of the knowledge of a foreign language is much different. The reason is that the concept of "to speak a foreign language" is very abstract. For some, it is free to speak, while for others it is just being able to briefly talk about yourself. And the second option is the result of similar 2 week courses.

Is it really impossible to quickly and easily learn a foreign language? It is forbidden! Today it is fashionable to learn languages ​​by listening to music, watching movies and playing games. But I want to emphasize that these are not ways to learn a language, but rather to replenish vocabulary. In such ways, you will only learn new words and expressions, but not the language as a whole. To do this, you need to learn grammar. Many will be upset now, but it's true!

Grammar is the most boring and difficult part of learning a language, but also a very important one. This is the scheme on which you can then impose your thoughts. What does it mean. If you don't know grammar and try to say something in English, you just start going through the words and ready-made phrases that you know in your head. In the end, you realize that they do not completely or completely do not fit what you want to say. And this is where the problem arises. At a time when a person who knows grammar can say any sentence simply by correctly observing word order and rules. The same grammar, quickly and efficiently, can be studied at the appropriate English courses.

Okay, you say. I will learn these rules even faster than in two weeks. But there is a catch here too. You can learn the rule itself quickly, it will take a little more time to understand it, but learning how to use it is already a difficult task. Think back to when you had to learn the rules in school. It seems that he learned and even understood, but as soon as he was distracted, he had to re-read it again, and the next day, he completely forgot! The thing is that our brain cannot quickly master a new type of thinking. This takes a lot of practice. After all, those who speak a foreign language well, they also think well in it. And those who have just started studying think in their native language, and then mentally translate into a foreign language and reproduce it aloud. Therefore, there are often long pauses in speech and problems with the expression of thought. Thus, no matter how much you want, it is physically impossible to speak a foreign language fluently in 2 weeks.

Drawing conclusions, we can say that a two-week foreign language course is suitable for those who are going to fly on vacation to other countries. To do this, it is enough to learn a few phrases about yourself, how to ask for directions and learn how to perceive foreign speech a little by ear. But if you are serious about learning a foreign language, turn to professionals, for example, at

Reviews about Easy Phrases (learning foreign languages ​​using the Allen Collins method) on the Web are surprisingly positive. If you believe them, then literally everyone immediately begins to speak a foreign language. A modern person will think twice: is it worth believing this? Are these real reviews of Easy Phrases by Allen Collins? Or is it just another tempting offer advertised for the lazy and busy who want to get everything at once, with a minimum of effort?

What is this about?

According to the reviews posted on the Virtual Web, the Easy Phrases system, developed by a polyglot, a world-famous Swede, makes it possible to master the language in a short time. Collins himself is fluent in 23 languages, and based on his vast experience, he was able to create a unique system. If you believe the reviews of Easy Phrases by Allen Collins, just two weeks - and a foreign language is already completely in your head.

A reasonable person will think twice, is this even possible? Of course, the capabilities of our brain to this day have not been fully studied, but still the promised seems like magic. Reviews of Easy Phrases cards inspire confidence, but only at first glance. Most modern people understand that in reality there are no miracles, which means that a completely foreign language cannot be put into your head in just a couple of weeks without much effort. And yet, the new methodology seems to challenge established opinions. Easy Phrases interactive cards reviews try to convince users that for a small fee they will get access to a unique product.

Believe it or not?

Significantly, the positive reviews of Allen Collins' Easy Phrases cards are mostly published on those sites that sell access to this course. But it is very difficult to find more or less intelligible information on independent resources. It seems as if people do not purchase this product at all, and if they do, they do not tell about their experience anywhere. But as for the sites working in the field of access to the product, the information on them can only be trusted with a very big stretch. Of course, this is where the most positive reviews about Allen Collins' Easy Phrases interactive cards are, but you need to understand that this is an interested party and no one can vouch for the accuracy and reliability of the published data.

At the same time, it is known that all the methods of the 25th frame, magic cards, interactive approaches have long been "brought to light", and the public has debunked the myths about their magical effect. Can you count on the fact that the reviews about the Easy Phrases interactive flashcard system are really true, and that this product is so different from all the others in the same category? Of course, you can take a chance, but it hardly makes sense to count on something magical.

What does the advertisement say?

As the sites that distribute access to the new product assure, the cards are completely different from the classic system of learning a foreign language. Allegedly, real reviews about Easy Phrases indicate that you can learn English at any age - from elementary school to advanced years. Just two weeks - and now all the acquaintances will be amazed at how good a person has become, who previously had no idea how to speak English.

It's never too late

By the way, supposedly real reviews about Easy Phrases advise using this method to learn not only English, but also other languages, for example, Spanish, German. According to some, you can even master several subjects at once, and each will take no more than two weeks. Magic, and more! But is there a place for magic in the real world? Distributors assure that no one will believe that it is possible to master a foreign language to such a level in just a couple of weeks. And this is true: even professionals in the field of linguistics say that in a couple of weeks you can only memorize a few phrases, remember them, but never learn the language. It's just unrealistic, no matter how much you want it.

As the distributors of the Allen Collins course assure, it is never too late to start learning a new language. Philologists and linguists fully support this position. Indeed, learning a new language trains the brain well, reduces the risk of dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and also trains memory. At the same time, experts assure that it is really possible to master a language only over a fairly long period of time, with intense practice and constant studies. The optimal result will bring at least six months, and more often - two or three years of classes at least twice a week (and preferably more often). The duration of one lesson is at least three hours. It is better to study with a teacher, then the efficiency will be higher, and when working with tutorials, the development process is delayed for a longer time, but certainly not two weeks. As can be seen from the recommendations of experts, it is unlikely that reviews about Easy Phrases are real.

What does it give?

As allegedly real reviews of Easy Phrases promise, a person will not feel any changes, nevertheless, after only two weeks from the beginning of the course, he will be able to calmly read articles on foreign websites, in magazines and newspapers. Moreover, magic cards will help you easily start speaking in a foreign language. This will certainly cause the admiration of loved ones, the respect of the authorities. There is no doubt that such successes will provoke considerable career advancement. Moreover, you can try to find a new job in an international corporation or even go abroad, because there will no longer be a language barrier.

On the other hand, people, especially those who have already tried to learn a foreign language on their own or with a teacher, can imagine how unlikely such an effect is. Distributors of access to the course promise that mastering will be almost automatic, that this is the only possible system to speed up memorization by optimizing the presentation of information. But in reality, no multimedia cards can, unfortunately, reprogram the human brain. Of course, which foreign languages ​​​​(or one specific) are given quite easily, but this is an individual feature that has nothing to do with the method of presenting information.

Does it matter?

Of course, no one denies that there are more effective methods of learning a foreign language and those that make the process difficult and slow. So, getting acquainted with the language through the tutorial, a person faces many difficulties. There is no one to explain incomprehensible moments, it is difficult to orient oneself in mistakes, it is often difficult to organize oneself for long-term productive work - this requires perseverance, willpower.

It would seem that Easy Phrases cards could solve all these problems, they are interesting to work with, and in just two weeks you can perfectly master English. Yes, but there are no such magic methods (and the reviews of specialists in linguistics confirm this) that would allow you to master the language so quickly and really qualitatively.

Easy Phrases: what is it

Under this name, a system of multimedia cards is presented on the market of specific educational products, which, as distributors say, has no analogues, but in just a couple of weeks it will teach the user to speak and understand a foreign language. As the sites offering access to the course assure, the feature of the program is in full use. When is as fast as possible, and understanding is at its best.

As the distributors of Easy Phrases assure, the traditional approach uses only a small percentage of the real possibilities of a person, which concerns not only memory, but also associative abilities. The cognitive process does not receive the necessary support, brain structures are not active. But multimedia cards are arranged quite differently, and due to the peculiarities of the approach, the brain is one hundred percent active. This means that the abilities that are given to man by nature are realized in full. For most people, these resources spend their entire lives dormant. Distributors of Easy Phrases call to awaken all your possibilities.

By the way…

And the subject and possibilities of various cards, programs, special courses and sleep learning have long been assuring the inhabitants that a person uses his brain only partially. Some say that half, others insist on ten percent, and someone even assures that only one, or even some small fraction of one percent. But scientists have a completely different opinion. Studies of brain activity, made using the most accurate and modern equipment, have shown that all parts of the brain tissue are constantly active, even during sleep.

In fact, we do not just use all the possibilities of the brain, although we do not understand how it works, we use them to a greater extent than we can imagine. Unfortunately, as advanced research has shown, there are no hidden resources due to which the real capabilities of the brain would be increased dozens of times.

2 week course: what are the promises

As the distributors of the Easy Phrases course explain, this program simultaneously activates both hemispheres of the brain. The information that a person hears is processed by the brain on the left side, while the picture takes up the resources of the right side. At the same time, the interaction provokes the brain to work more productively - the speed increases, according to the distributors of the course, as much as five times. This means that cognitive abilities grow, a person memorizes new words more easily, easily finds an analogy for them in his native language, and forms strong associative series. In fact, memorization occurs automatically.

Fast and efficient

According to the assurances of the creators of the Easy Phrases course, just a few days will add two hundred foreign words to the vocabulary. A week will pass, and a person will be surprised at how much wider the choice of previously alien words has become available to him. Well, two weeks will help to overcome the notorious, which means that the conversation will cease to be a frightening problem. A person who has completed such a course will be able to easily express a thought of any complexity, resorting to a new, just mastered language.

Thanks to Easy Phrases, according to the recommendations, reviews and assurances of distributors, there will be no need to choose words to describe phenomena, they will themselves appear in the right language without any mental effort. But if success was not achieved, then the distributors even promise to return the money, for which they operate with a guarantee program.

Without difficulty: to catch a fish from a pond?

In the old days, the saying about the fisherman was extremely relevant. Many understood that it was possible to get a result, especially a high-quality one, only when efforts were made to it. But now there are more and more of those who are convinced that the magical technique will help to achieve everything you want without much effort.

Should I trust the reviews? The few responses that can be found on non-distributor sites are mostly negative impressions of the course. Users say that the cards are useless, have no real effect, and, of course, no one returns the money. Distributors simply ignore the angry letters that turned out to be dissatisfied with the product, or they answer that the customers themselves are to blame for everything, because they did not use the course according to the instructions.

Cheap and cheerful

For a course of Easy Phrases cards, they are currently asking for about three thousand rubles. If you carefully read the conditions on the site, you will notice that the distributor makes a reservation: for all people, the duration of mastering a foreign language is different, so someone can really do it in two weeks, and someone will need much more time and effort.

As experts in the field of learning foreign languages ​​say, if you want to try "express methods", then it's better to start with free ones - there are a lot of such courses. Well, if the student is ready to spend money on learning a foreign language, then a much more reasonable investment would be to buy a self-instruction manual written by a trustworthy author (it costs five times cheaper than the multimedia cards described), and regular classes with a teacher will bring the best effect. It is not necessary to hire a tutor - you can study in a group, it will be much cheaper.

Of course, it’s impossible to suddenly stun acquaintances, relatives and friends with knowledge of a foreign language literally out of nowhere, but the result from the program will really be. But as for multimedia cards, which allegedly involve some (non-existent, according to scientists) secret brain reserves, their effectiveness is still a big question.

English in two weeks...

- Is it possible?

- I'll explain now:

On the Internet, you can often see such announcements from teachers: "English in 2 weeks."

Here I want to immediately clarify that the situations with the study of English are different. There are people who have never studied English before; there are those who once studied, but forgot or did not finish their studies; there are students with insufficient knowledge to pass the exam; there are people who just want to take a short English course before traveling to an English speaking country.

Let's take a look at all these categories and understand what can be done for each of these categories in 2 weeks. I note that I am only talking about what, specifically, I can do (I can’t vouch for other teachers: someone may be able to, but someone can’t at all).

Category 1
Never studied English before
(mainly tourists and businessmen)

If you have zero knowledge, and in a couple of weeks you have to travel to an English-speaking country, in principle, of course, everything is possible, but, as for the English language, in 2 weeks, on an emergency basis, subject to daily classes, it is possible to give a person some minimum a language base, a kind of foundation, on which, while abroad, he will string new words and expressions with the help of a dictionary.

In two weeks it is really possible to teach a person to build simple phrases in English, to teach how to read, write and express their thoughts in simple language. Of course, in this case, in any case, he will need two things abroad: a Russian-English and English-Russian phrase book and a similar dictionary, preferably an electronic one.

After completing such an emergency course of study, a person abroad, of course, will not disappear, as he will be able to express his thoughts and wishes, although it will be extremely difficult for him to understand native speakers, but here you can resort to the help of electronic dictionaries-translators, then the problem will be settled, although it will be very difficult for him at first.

Category 2
Schoolchildren and students

Everything is much simpler here, because everything is possible here. At least, I did not have a single case of not passing the exam or credit for the entire practice. Before the exam, as a rule, for a student, everything unreal becomes real and he is ready to study for days.

If we are talking about a semester, then the preparation is real, of course, provided that he completes all the tasks in class and at home. I want to note that those who skipped 2 semesters and had zero knowledge, 2 weeks before the exams, so far (over 20 years of practice) have not contacted me yet.

If you have to pass an exam for one course of study and have a vocabulary and or the ability to build forms of verbs in different tenses, but there is no understanding of the use of tenses, I will prepare without problems, perhaps even ahead of schedule. In the same situation, but without the ability to build verb forms in different tenses, it will be difficult, but we can handle it, although the student will have a very difficult time. And what to do, it’s his own fault, lectures should have been attended, and not skipped.

But now, if there is a deadline for the semester, and the student does not know a single English word and does not imagine a simple future tense ... Here, already, according to the situation, depending on what exactly is to be handed over. In this case, I don’t guarantee a 100% five and, in general, if everything is very neglected, I’ll be honest that it can fail the change, unless, of course, he is a freshman with a change for the first semester (everything is easier with them - a small volume knowledge and, accordingly, requirements).

Category 3
Previously studied English, you need to put your knowledge in order

Well, this is the easiest thing - in 2 weeks here you can not only update the forgotten, but also move on by leaps and bounds.

Category 4
Requires a short English course

That's not difficult. You can give an idea about the construction of sentences, consider the system of English tenses. We will also have time to analyze the main subtleties of English grammar and its differences, for example, from Spanish. We will have time to make out what “Agreement of Times” is and understand its meaning in English. In a word, we will have time to go through the theoretical grammar of the English language with a brief practice of its application and the basics of translation, provided that the student has good knowledge of at least one foreign language. If such knowledge is absent, the result will certainly be much worse.

Category 4
It is required to conduct a comparative typology of English with Spanish

A couple of lessons will be enough for this. If you need to show everything in practice, then in 2 weeks, just, we will meet it.

Study on your own according to the textbook "Theoretical and practical grammar of the English language with exercises on all normative grammar and tests".
