Learning Grammar
Hello,
I have my own website it’s libertariansquare.com where I have been doing some articles concerning my local community and trying to promote the freedom agenda. Anyway I would like to improve my writing especially my grammar. Do you guys know any good sources for this such as websites or books that also have practice problems? I went to the Khan academy but unfortunately grammar is one of the few things they don’t seem to cover.
lynda.com is an inexpensive resource for training in tons of subject matter – I did a quick look, and yep – they have courses on grammar. I think a lynda.com subscription is $25 per month, and you get full unlimited access to the library of thousands of topics. Oh, and it’s month-to-month, no time commitment. It’s what I use for my employees when they need some skills training in a particular area.
I am a teacher at Kumon and the grammar workbooks there are excellent. However, they are not free and the program is only for children.
Do you have anyone in your daily life who is great with grammar? Asking them to just correct you whenever they hear you make an error can be a great way to get the worst-offending issues out of the way. People hate being corrected, so it provides a very quick avenue for incentivized change.
Hey,
I did not learn grammar in government schools. In community college though, I took a course for English grammar. The entire class was on grammar, and it was well worth the time and expense. Perhaps a community college near you has a course for grammar?
My children are in Kumon. Kumon teaches them how to use a pencil, write, and to use proper grammar. The government schools in my are are supposedly good, but they do not teach those things well at all. My youngest was in an expensive preschool for example, and he was not even taught how to hold a pencil! It’s very frustrating. Kumon is $220 a month per child, but it is very worth it. It is part of my children’s “home schooling.”
