Have you ever wondered how a child learns a language so naturally and easily? They don't study grammar or take vocabulary notes; they simply repeat what they hear. This is the key: Learning through absorption, not strain https://vulehuan.com/en/blog/2025/11/natural-english-learning-absorption-over-effort-gX3ZQSiN9W1
Science shows that to listen and speak a language at a basic level, we only need a certain number of words (around 1,500). The great news is that with the "Simple Stories in English: Who Am I?" series, you have a perfect roadmap to start this journey the most natural way.
The 4-Part Journey to "Growing Up" with English
This series is designed like a natural progression, helping you advance step by step:
Part 1: Familiarize & Absorb (Repetition of basic vocabulary and structures)

This is the first step, where you play the role of a child. This part repeats the core vocabulary and sentence structures. Don't just listen; let those sounds and sentence patterns seep into your subconscious. Beyond learning individual words, this is where you learn how they naturally combine in sentences.
Part 2: Practice Reflexes & Interaction (Practicing simple answers)

After absorption, it's time to start "babbling" and practicing speech. Part 2 focuses on answering questions. You'll learn to catch keywords and respond, from simple words to full answers. Parts 1 and 2 are the fantastic foundation for learning like a child: listen and mimic.
Part 3: Level Up & Enrich (Enhancing word usage and structures)

Once you have a solid base, you start "growing up" a bit. Part 3 introduces richer expressions and slightly more complex structures. The pace is faster, repetition decreases, mimicking more adult-like conversation.
Part 4: Real-World Conversation (Authentic dialogue between Mary and Taylor)

This is the destination! You will listen to a natural, real-paced conversation, full of emotion and intonation. If you jump straight into this part, you might feel overwhelmed. But if you've "absorbed" Parts 1 and 2, you'll be surprised at how much easier it is to understand!
Be a Child Before You Become an Adult
The biggest lesson from this method is: Don't rush. Don't skip steps. Be as patient as a child learning to walk. By starting with Parts 1 and 2, you are building a solid foundation of language reflexes.
And you know what? Just with the first story in the series, you have naturally absorbed a whopping 612 vocabulary items! This is an impressive number, a massive amount of vocabulary "absorbed" gently and without any pressure.
