Freshly Baked


Just like a bread freshly baked in an oven so does this new blog of mine. And for the sake of consistency, I will devote this blog all for English language learners thus my title Language Bites.

All you will find here are bite size English language rules regarding grammar and other aspects of the four macro skills in language (i.e. reading, writing, listening & speaking).

Posts are in bite size for easy digestion. Plus, it will follow my very own formulated outline about the subject matter for an easy grasp and linkage of lessons.

Tests and other supplements will be available as you progress in each lesson posted.

For on-line tutorials especially for second language learners, you may notify me through my email and we could work on the details. Thank you!
