Wow, where did the time go? It seems like we just started class, and now it's over.
For my final grammar post I am going to sum up my issues and show my improvement. Overall, I would say I have improved my grammar substantially. I am glad Chelsi had use do these weekly exercises on our own; I would have studied my grammar as much otherwise. These grammar posts inspired me to want to learn more about grammar.
For this week I want to share with you all an online grammar lecture that I found to be brillant. It's called "The Modern Scholar: A Way With Words Part III: Grammar for Adults" By Professor Michael D. C. Drout. The publisher gives this summary on the lecture:
Who eats shoots and leaves? A panda? Or a gunman at a restaurant? The answer to this all depends on - you guessed it - grammar. In the third part of his extraordinary Way with Words series, Professor Drout continues to explore humanity's intimate association with language, here delving into the finer points of English grammar. Since others judge you by the way you speak, the intricacies of grammar, in fact, should not be relegated to the realm of fussy "guardians of the language," but are rather essential clues all can employ to communicate more exactly. In such a light, this course forms an invaluable guide for everyone from all fields of interest.
You can find the link to purchase the audio at http://www.audible.com/adbl/site/products/ProductDetail.jsp?productID=BK_RECO_002562&BV_UseBVCookie=YesThe price is around $49.00, but I think it is well worth it.
Micheal-
ReplyDeleteI know doesn’t it seem like yesterday we were all walking in to class not knowing what to expect and what people we were going to meet. I liked that you found a lecture that would help the class with our grammar issues. Have you listened to the entire lecture? If so, does this lecture really stick with you so you can use the knowledge provided in it. I need help with remembering the things people say to me. If it does then I will definitely invest my time and money into this lecture.
