This English Language course, aimed at natives, includes the following:

  • Downloadable lectures (via the Udemy App) on grammar, punctuation, and rhetoric (British teacher, 20 years' experience)

  • Advanced lectures on how to identify and use determiners, nouns, verbs, conjunctions, adjectives, adverbs, prepositions, commas, colons, semicolons, apostrophes, hyphens, and rhetorical devices

  • 196-page ebook that contains supplementary exercises on the above-mentioned themes. The ebook uses excerpts from Frankenstein (Mary Shelley), 1984 (George Orwell), Animal Farm (George Orwell), and Lord of the Flies (William Golding) to test your understanding of the role that phrases, clauses, and parts of speech play in punctuation and rhetoric.

  • An analysis of the punctuation guidelines for academic English and for literature

  • An analysis of the range of phrases and clauses that all writers use, including absolute phrases, participle phrases, appositives, gerund phrases, to-plus-infinitive phrases, adjectival phrases, adverbial phrases, subordinate clauses, relative clauses, and main clauses.

  • An analysis of a variety of literary devices that writers use, including alliteration, assonance, oxymoron, anaphora, epistrophe, anadiplosis, chiasmus, antimetabole, epanalepsis, mesodiplosis, and many more.

  • All questions answered promptly (within 24 hours) in the Q and A section

  • Lifetime membership (more lessons and resources added every month)

By the end of the course, you will be able to identify and explain the wide variety of phrases, clauses, and literary devices found in literature. Armed with a precise understanding of sentence structure, you will develop not only a keen appreciation of the skill required to compose a work of fiction, but also a deep understanding of how to use the very same skills in your own written work.

The presenter is a brilliant teacher. Pace is perfect. Explanations are easy to follow.

By Stanley Barge on 7/17/2025

The course was better than expected.

By CESAR TADEO on 5/25/2025

He's a true Master at what he does!!! I just needed to review grammar from my high school years but I've enjoyed his lessons VERY, VERY MUCH!!! He's knowledgeable and entertaining in his own way. I really like him as a professor because he makes every lesson extremely easy to digest. I'm more than happy with his way of teaching. Even though I just needed to review my grammar lessons, I've been learning with every single class. You're the BEST ENGLISH PROFESSOR!!!

By Anonymized User on 3/10/2025

I have long forgotten many Grammars usage, and he was really helpful to refresh, revise, and restore my gone case, LOL. Many thanks.

By Jorge Romero on 12/21/2024

Great and relevant content. The teacher is straight in his teaching ways. He covers lots of scenarios in a time-constrain scenario which showcases his ability to summarise the most important details of the class at hand.

By Catherine M Raymond on 7/17/2024

I'm amazed at the knowledge of the instructor. I learned things I hadn't even heard of before! I was happy with the quizzes as well. And the book is a great addition allowing me to delve even deeper into the subject.

By Jeff Jones on 6/27/2024

"He is an amazing teacher! His depth of knowledge, only acquired after many years of diligent study combined with a love of language, is showcased in every video lesson. I'm glad I found his course. It was well worth the money!"

By Alexandra Coulter on 12/1/2023

I have a natural ear for grammar but I wanted to know what it means, so I can use words more consciously. I like his humor, as well as obvious passion and knowledge of the subject. 1 hour on punctuation. I can't wait.

By Mirridumas on 9/2/2023

Love this course; the detail and enthusiastic presentation make it so interesting. Plus, I like how the instructor uses beautiful examples from literature. Some grammar courses, not doing justice to the English language, use really basic and boring sentences as examples. (I thought I'd add that participle (and this following one), having just done that lesson!)

By Javier Norte on 4/10/2022

I really enjoy this course :) The teacher clearly explains all the topics and the exercises help me better understand what I studied. I bought three courses and I'm in the middle of one of them, I can't wait to finish it and to continue with the others to boost my English. Thank you for your high quality courses.
