You have mastered 4 most important rules of Effortless Japanese.
Now I will take to the last 3 more rules for fulfil basic instruction before you start our real Japanese lessons.
Rule 5 will show you how to learn grammars effectively and naturally. Combining rule 1(learn phrases) and rule 2(do not focus on grammar), we produce a powerful way to learn grammar in a natural order.
What is it?
It is POV - POINT OF VIEW!
How does POV works?
Previously, in a set of lesson, a Ministory will be arranged as the main story of lesson following Vocabulary and POV. The main story is a real story of everyday life, familiar with everyone. Based on MINISTORY, in POV, you will tell the mostly whole story again, but you just the the TENSE of the story. You might change the time frame from present tense in MINISTORY in to PAST TENSE for example.
So, all what you do with Rule 5 is to change the tense of MINISTORY to become POV.
Rule 6: Very simple. Learn Japanese with Real Japanese materials, not Textbook, fake Japanese teacher.
It is true for whatever language Engish, Japanese, French etc.
Many people learning formal Japanese get shocked with real japanese communication, because the way Japanese speaker performing is totally different from what they have learnt. Ofcourse, it is easy to understand, isn't it?
For instance, to say "There is not an apple"
Formal Japanese(textbook):
アップルがありませんです.
APPURU GA ARIMASENDESU.
Real Japanese:
アップルがないです.
APPURU GA NAI DESU.
Many other same cases have happened to Japanese learners when they start real communication with native japanese just due to limitted real japanese learning beforehand.
Rule 7: Use Ministory, listen and respond to Ministory.
Be carefull, listen and respond to Ministory, here means listening and responding to Ministory by answering every question. You hear the question in japanese and quickly answer that question. Quickly, continuoustly, instantly respond to question without thinking, considering, or hesitating.
Ministory will train you to hear Japanese and respond insantly. Speaking is always behind listening. That is how children have been doing!!!!
For example,
Q. おなまえ は なん ですか？What is your name?
ONAMAE HA NAN DESUKA?
A.ベックッムです。
BEKKAM DESU.
You need to quickly respond: BEKKUM DESU. That is how MINISTORY works.
You may have experienced a training course in which learners repeat exaxtly the same as that of speaker. It is not an effective way. It does not help.
Again, Ministory will train you to hear Japanese and respond insantly. Speaking is always behind listening. That is how children have been doing!!!!
YOU GRADUATED!!!
7 RULES of Efforltess Japanese is completely explained to you with the hope that all of your will master how the method can help you later with real japanese lessons.
Check 7 rules everyday before you learn to ensure that you are following the correct instruction.
7 Rules for Effortless Japanese(Rule 4)- Deep Learning!!!
Rule 4: Learn deeply (Deep Learning)
In short, Deep learning means learning something a little more slowly but totally master what you learn before you go to something else.

The fact known to everyone is that, at school, people always rush steps to finish a task. But actually, they are even uncertain about what you learnt in step 1, step 2, or they do it as an condition of lesson.
For example, you must remembered that in each lesson(textbook), there is always a short conversation somewhere else helping student to practice in pairs or groups. However, most students dislike to do this, be frustrated and sleep.
So from now on, forget it! Never do it again!
Hereafter, let's do this: Learn everything deeply, master anything you do before you proceed the next thing.

7 Rules for Effortless Japanese(Rule 3): Learn with ears not eyes
Rule 3: Learn with your ears not with your eyes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxVw5purNhQ
You must have admitted that the key to speaking well is increase your great listening ability.
It means you learn Japanese with your ears.
What you are doing now is to read textbook, dialouge, grammar. You are reading alot. And this is not natural.
Think about Japanese babies. How they learn to speak Japaese?
They certainly do not learn through reading. How they learn to speak Japanese?
They learn from their parents speaking to them, saying to them, repeating speaking in Japanese. They can not respond to parents from the beginning, but they start to understand, understand the meaning little by little. Eventually, they start to say simple things, simple phrases in reply.
That is how natural method works.
Keep this in mind: Listening is the foundation of speaking!
90% of your time for listening Japanese, learning Japanese should be listening, listening.
All happening is through Listening. Listening gives you the power, the foundation!
You don't need to focus on practcing speaking, and try to speak well. Not yet for that.
Listening is the engine that is pushing everything!
Effortless Japanese is created based on this simple and natural order.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMsRM_Hx49U
Student, teachers, textbook always focus on the list of words. They try to memorize its meaning word by word. By doing such thing, you just remember less. The fact is that the native speakers are not doing the same. They learn groups of words, learn phrases all at one time. For example, the phrase: Stand up!. They will connect STAND and UP together not separately. They do not worry about individual words in it.
All in one word, the rule 1 advises you to learn Japanese or any language else with phrases which words are combined together in a natural way. That is how the native often do.
