😭 WHY GRAMMAR SEEMS DIFFICULT?

I've been teaching English for 4+ years now and I've seen different kinds of students β€” kids, young people, adults, working professionals. Even though their goals and backgrounds are not similar, there is something that unites all of them. The dislike for grammar.

πŸ€” Normally, people associate grammar with a set of boring difficult rules that we learn but can never use in real life. Does this sound like you?

The key to changing this attitude is to be focused on learning grammar that is not distant from the reality. Simply learning rules by heart won't get you anywhere and will only make you resent English.

⚑️ SOLUTION: LEARN GRAMMAR IN CONNECTION TO REAL SITUATIONS!
Never try to remember bare rules without their applications to real-life language. Look up context β€” where and how natives use these grammar structures. Try to notice grammar structures in movies or books. Build sentences with them. Note how other people use them. Make them really settle in your speech ❀️

The language is the reflection of modern life. Not out of touch with it.
