    About this ebook

    A must-have book for all students of English as a Second Language: Unlike most other English grammar books, this book was written out of many years experience by an ESL teacher and native English speaker who has spent thousands of hours with ESL students and has identified the most common mistakes that are made by nearly all ESL students throughout the world. Speak and Write Like a Native will show you how to correct and unlearn these mistakes by use of simple memory aids, concise grammar explanations, and many examples of correct and incorrect usage. Chapters include Pronunciation, Writing and Spelling, Some Grammar Distinctions, Misusing Native-Language Words as English Words, Common Confusions Among Word-Pairs, and Especially for Slavic-Language ESL Students. This small book contains most of the things your high school English teachers never taught you.

      The Music Of Language

      Jun 19, 2019

      Words can make magic. Skillfully put together into sentences, words can transfer ideas and images from a writer’s mind into the minds of readers—that, by itself, is powerful verbal magic. When we exploit the musical characteristics of language, we ca
