1. About the course

Why Grammar? Can we learn without it? What is it? Shall we love it or hate it? How to learn it?

Why Grammar?Kids can learn their mother tongue

without any knowledge on grammar.

The local people in English language speaking countries speak more natural but know less on the language than foreign learners like us.

If given the English language environment, the grammar will be the last thing we need to learn English.

We take English as a foreign language that will be seldom used in daily life after school. So we have no any English language environment at all.

Thank God we have grammar as a tool or a short cut.

a Tool to handle difficulties in English language

A short cut to form logical thought

Can we learn without it? The answer is yes, we can. But most of our colourful life will be

taken by using the methods of learning language without its grammar.

The reasonable answer will be: we can learn without it but that’s a

most stupid way.

What is it? Grammar is not language itself. Grammar is a knowledge on language. It is just a useful tool ,a faithful servant

Language Grammar
