English Usage

There is a lot more to learning The English language than simply learning the grammar and pronunciation;  and then filling up with idioms, phrases, and slang terms.  You will also need to know how to use all of those tools in different situations.  That is were English Usage comes in.
.

In different situations, you will find that — though what you want to say may be grammatically correct — there is often a different way of expressing yourself which may be more common (even if it is sometimes not grammatically correct).
.

Below is a growing list of lessons about How To Use English In Different Situations.  If there is a blog post, article or recording created (by me) on the topic.  There will be a link to that.  Until that time, use the links to the different videos below to learn English Usage for Different Situations…  or what you could call, Situational English.
