Learn Better English BooksFirst, you know I grow up in different culture, talk local (broken) English mix with local words. Local grammar is incomplete. So I not know many rules.
"I am saying, I know there are rules about this stuff. An I want show you respect but I don't actually know what the rules are. So please not think poorly of me if I don't follow them."
Quote "44.TMS - Way With Words III - Understanding Grammar for Powerful Communication".
My understand English is good. Listen to book is easy. My write/talk English with grammar is not. This is goal for I can better write English, change my own grammar. I want recommend books for this to others. I hope it can.

44.TMS - Way With Words III - Understanding Grammar for Powerful Communication
Concept, content? 5/5
I learn proper word for broken/local English, "non-standard dialect". This can make it 5/5 but the other content is also good. One time listen is insufficient. Future I will listen again. I very much like concept "markers of social rank". Language is one of these markers. This post early sentence is I adapt from here.
Easy to understand? 4/5.
Want skip introduction, heavy breath. After, it is ok. Casual speech, clear sound.
Total? 5/5
