Well, your favorite ESL and accent reduction tutor will be full strength vaccinated on June 15th--I get my second shot on June 1st--and on June 30th I will be able to do in-person lessons again for anyone relatively local to NJ.

(I have actually traveled as far as Delaware for a client willing to pay my Amtrak fare and spend a day or two working a "crash course".)

I hope everybody is getting their shots or has gotten their shots and is enjoying the return of normal life.

Here is a simple video explaining--in general--the word order in American English:  subject-verb-object.   Be aware that this does not apply in every situation or work in every situation with every sentence.  But a lot of them it will.  

(As I say to my students: American English is a mix of so many different languages with so many differed grammatical structures and so many things stolen from other languages that we don't really have hard and fast grammatical "rules" that work every time.  We have rules of thumb--general rules that work sometimes.)

Here's the video.

In any case if  you are interested in ESL/accent reduction lessons so you can more easily do business in America with Americans give me a call (or shoot me a text if you are uncomfortable calling) at (732) 807-5424.  or hit me up on Skype at david.berlin.esl is my Skype ID. 

I look forward to hearing from you.  And remember to check out my David Berlin ESL YouTube channel or my American Idiom of the Day Twitter Feed.  For general info on me and my services and rates, check out my ESL and Accent Reduction Training Webpage.

See ya next time!
