English Grammar and Functions: by a non-native, for the non-native

Almost all English Grammar textbooks are written by native speakers of English. The way native and non-native speakers learn grammar is diametrically opposite:
– native speakers learn subconsciously, but on the other hand
– non-native speakers learn consciously.
Most Grammar books on the market do a good job making the grammar easy to understand, but not a good job making the grammar easy to remember and we all know that
Understand doesn’t mean Remember.
Non-native speakers understand the rules of English grammar, but can’t use them in a sentence, use quickly and correctly in a real-life situation. What makes my book different is that it is written by a non-native speaker of English, from the viewpoint of someone who has consciously studied English grammar and is very much aware of how non-native speakers perceive and produce grammar.
– This book is for all learners of English – elementary, intermediate and advanced. The grammar covered accounts for 99% of all grammar used by non-native speakers of English.
– This book is also for language teachers – non-native and native alike. My unique take on English grammar will most certainly prove invaluable to fellow English teachers.
