    174. How to Finally Improve Grammar in English [The Lesson You Were Never Taught in School!] Nov 23, 2021
    Show notes

    How do you feel about grammar? For some of us, grammar can sometimes be pretty overwhelming. It has been for me, but in my years of using and teaching English, I've realized something crucial about it. We can't build grammar just by learning grammar rules. We have to build 'Grammar muscles', and in order to do that, we need to have the right strategy and focus on what matters. That's always the case, isn't it?

    In this episode, you're going to learn how to do just that – how to learn and understand grammar so you can become more fluent and confident in English.

    Here are more episodes on how to improve grammar:

    No one likes to get criticized. Especially when the criticism is insensitive, detached, or meant to hurt. When we receive criticism, it's easy and common to feel bad and even hurt. But in this episode I share with you one strategy that is going to help you manage criticism or comments on your English, don't let it pull you down, and come out like a WINNER!
