Journey to Peace Village

Not really. Or only up to a point. Over the past three weeks, I've learned more than I ever dreamt I would know or could know about tenses, conditionals and a host of cute infinitives, countable knowns... How passive is your voice? Pretty limp by the end of a three hour session in a room without aircon.

It all paid off today when I took the test and got a 97%! I even did pretty well with phoenetics, those funny little symbols that are meant to help one pronounce words but seem "all Greek" to me.

I feel like I've learned a lot in this class. And most of it is due to Greg, a self professed "Grammar Geek" who teaches the lessons with a lot of zest and a wealth of knowledge. Greg is a Jimmy Buffet style pirate of the English language who can split hairs with language and keep everyone on track with colorful examples and most of all, enthusiasm for words!
