Overview

Master Your Grammar Errors, Master Commonly Confused Words and Phrases, and Achieve Success and Credibility as a Writer

What you'll learn:
  • Avoid common grammar mistakes
  • Differentiate between commonly confused words and phrases
  • Write and speak with more confidence and mastery
  • Make a strong impression and convey credibility in your writing and communication

Your writing can communicate ideas effectively, get the reader's attention, and help you achieve your goals.

-Created based on student request from many writers like you: A course that clarifies common grammar mistakes, including commonly confused words and phrases and clarifies common mistakes writers make.


This course is the condensed version of the two full courses, "Common English Grammar Mistakes and How to Fix Them" and "Commonly Confused English Words and Phrases."

This mini course includes lectures from both courses, but stands as a course in itself with some of the most common errors I've found in native English speakers' and ESL writers' work.


***Note:This is a beginner level course, so serves as a refresher for intermediate and advanced writers, and can especially benefit beginning writers and those with more serious grammar issues, as well as ESL Writers. This course may not benefit you as much if you're an advanced writer or strong in grammar.


If you find lots of mistakes in your writing, discovery errors after you submit or post something, and find these sometimes undermine how others perceive you and your message, this course can help you prevent common errors in your writing.


That's why I created Grammar Sampler--to solve this problem and help your writing achieve credibility. I also wrote this course to give you the best of both courses--Common English Grammar Mistakes and How to Fix Them & Commonly Confused English Words and Phrases in one course for FREE!

-What makes this course unique?

1. This course shows the root causes of each mistake. If you want to solve a problem and to avoid it in the future, you need to know how the mistake was made to start with. Examples in the course don't just tell you why the mistake was made, they show you with examples.

2. This course is unique because it shows you tips and tricks to help you avoid the mistake in the future based on the root cause of the mistake.

3. Unlike many similar classes, this course includes exercises to help you practice, apply, correct, and retain what you've learned, using the power of repetition and consistency, which learning science shows will help you retain the material.

4. Retention of the material is key. This solves the problem the causes certain words and phrases to become confused. You can also come back to the material later for future reference.
