Note: Hello, language learners! Just want to first apologize for a
very late post! A lot has been going on since my move from China and it
has been a doozy. Excuses aside, here is a fresh of the press post for

Grammar Is a Nightmare
Grammar is always a nightmare for language learners. It doesn’t
matter what language you’re learning, grammar is simply not always a
basket of roses. It’s actually never a bucket of roses and the sooner
you accept that,the better whole language learning process will go. Why
is grammar such a nightmare for those of you who are bright eyed bushy
tailed and new to language learning? Here’s a list:
Because there are ‘rules’ to grammar, but there are ALWAYS exceptions.
Sometimes the grammar itself makes no sense at all when explained in your native language
You often forget them right after
They may have specific usages that you must know of in order to avoid sounding like a plebe
There are a million and get more and more complex as you progress
What Is Grammar
Stop your scrolling! This is important!! I’m not
going to explain the complex intricacies of the concept of grammar or
even try to simplify it because if you speak a language, any language,
you know what grammar is. HOWEVER, it is important to remember
as you study grammar is that it is the written expression of how a group
of people understand and synthesize the world around them. It is also how you learn more about the culture of the language you are learning. So take care to learn grammar thoroughly.
So how do you get through this total nightmare with your sanity
intact? Fortunately for you, I’ve been studying languages for ten years
and can tell you EXACTLY what to do. So before you resume or begin
studying, here is my recommended step by step guide to studying grammar.
