Have you ever wondered how you learned your mother tongue? You haven’t taken classes, right? So how did you become so proficient by the age of three or so? Well, the answer is simple: by listening to it! You were exposed to it all the time, and your parents probably read some bedtime stories to you every night before you went to sleep.

Now, you moved to California and you started learning English as a second language in a reputable school in your neighborhood, and you’re wondering how you can master it. Will you ever be able to speak it fluently? 

In our everyday communication, we usually speak in sentences. A sentence is a set of grammatically arranged words that conveys a meaningful message. It often takes a lot of practice to figure out the correct word order in sentences and start implementing the rules in your speech. This is because the word order in English is usually rigid and cannot be changed, otherwise you will either communicate a totally different meaning or sound a bit awkward.

So, you've decided to learn English in California? That’s awesome! You’ll surely have a lot of fun along the way. However, after many fun classes, you’ll need to do some serious work, too: you’ll also have to dive into more complex aspects of the language.  

When someone mentions grammar, you probably shiver with unease. This is because you imagine yourself spending sleepless nights staring at numerous grammar books, trying to comprehend how to use the language accurately.

Learning grammar can be challenging indeed, as languages have different, sometimes incomparable rules governing word and sentence formation. And you might feel lost when faced with the abundance of the information.
