Description
This Udemy course gives you, the English language learner, a complete overview of the English language and grammar.
This course will give you the ability to understand English better and the confidence to speak and write English more fluently.
This English language course is taught by two world-renowned communications trainers, TJ Walker and Derek Smith.
Message from Derek Smith:
My name is Derek, Iām a native Brit and qualified and experienced TEFL/TESOL trainer.
I have been teaching English to adults for over 10 years and look forward to using technology to reach a wider audience.
I have a neutral accent which is clear and easy to understand.
Downloadable PDFs for each lesson will form a valuable resource collection for you.
The course is not designed to be accessed in sequence but takes more of a pick and mix approach.
For example, if you need help with prepositions of place, simply go to the grammar section and look for the lesson on prepositions of place.
Or if you need help with present perfect continuous, go to the tenses and aspects part and check out the lesson on present perfect continuous.
Where there are differences between the UK and US language usage, these are explained in the lesson.
I encourage you to ask questions if you feel that something has not been fully or clearly explained. You will get an answer and, if necessary, the course material will be updated. Depending on the answer, I will add a new lesson to the course.
Here is a brief summary of the course benefits for you:
- Native speaker
- Experienced and qualified teacher
- Neutral and easy to understand accent
- Lessons structured for easy access
- Downloadable resources for each lesson
- No bloated lessons to trick you or waste your time
- Valid for UK and US English
- Updates as required by the learners
- Udemy 30-day refund policy
How many of your boxes did I tick?
This is the English language and grammar course you need. I look forward to seeing you on the inside.
Message from TJ Walker
I have been teaching executives around the globe to deliver presentations in English for the last 30 years. Most people, even native English speakers, are insecure about their English language usage. You can become an accomplished speaker and communicator and know that you are using excellent English every time you speak.
Derek is one of the top English language instructors in the world and I am proud to be teaching this course with him. He has the English and European sensibility down perfectly. And I have been living in and working in the United States my entire life. When you put us together, it is a powerful combination designed to help you become a master at English language and communication.
Good luck and I hope to see you inside the course!
