What Will I Learn?

Questions tags are difficult: tag questions are often NOT really questions! This course teaches the grammar and meaning.
Most important is the INTONATION! This course builds confidence in speaking.
You will learn things the grammar books do not teach!
Practice REAL English, not 'book English.'
Speak REAL English, and understand it.

Requirements

B2 minimum. (Upper) Intermediate to Advanced English. If you are B1 (intermediate) you may find Section 3 difficult.

Description

Real English, is it? Nice idea, innit! Yep, ain't it! Shan't study it, shall we? Understand me, do yer?

Well, you will understand it, won't you!

The focus is on SPEAKING, INTONATION and PRONUNCIATION. Yep, sure is, ain't it!

We boldly go where no grammar book dare go! (Star Trek fans will recognise this!)

You'll build your PRONUNCIATION and INTONATION skills as we study the GRAMMAR. We'll discover question tags you never knew existed. You'll study punctuation, ellipsis, and regional variations. We'll look at some really bad English and slang - it will help you understand native-English speakers in informal conversation.

And it's all jolly good fun.

The course is NOT suitable for beginners or pre-intermediate. Intermediate is the minimum standard. Section 3 is difficult and therefore more suitable for advanced students.

So, let's start, shall we?
