Greetings from sunny Barcelona. My name is Anastasiia and I am a certified English teacher, originally from Russia. When I was 16, I got a scholarship to study in the United states and fell in love with an idea that foreign languages can lead you anywhere. Well, that led me to study and work in different parts of the world including Russia, Spain, and China. I really want to inspire my students to live Languages.

The Importance of Learning Grammar - TEFL Blog
Elizaveta Pachina
Alumni Experiences
Grammar is an important aspect of a language where learners' and teachers' opinions vary. Some students love to find out or learn the proper usage of grammar while some wanted to do grammar exercises. While some love grammar, others hate it and think that it is the most boring part of learning a new language. Whatever your stand is, you cannot escape from learning grammar; it is vital in every sentence you read or write, speak or hear. Grammar is simply the word for the rules that people follow when they use a language. We need those rules in the same way as we need the rules in any game.

Why Learning Grammar is Essential - TEFL Blog
Linda Dunsmore
Alumni Experiences
Some may conclude that the correct usage of English grammar only matters to teachers and have no real relevance in day to day life. We have to conclude that this is incorrect because grammar, disregarding the country or the language, is the infrastructure of communication. For instance, in the simplest of examples, when a message is delivered with the correct usage of grammar, it is much more understandable and precise to comprehend the intent and meaning of that message.
Knowing proper grammar use is key
