Have you ever avoided sending a letter or a note to someone for fear your writing would seem unsophisticated? Have you ever had your assignment returned with several grammatical and punctuation errors circled in red? Have you ever wished you could remember more of what your English teacher taught you?

People judge you by the way you speak and write. Fair or unfair, in the world of work and academia, your ideas are only as good as your ability to express them. You don’t want to be embarrassed in front of your classmates, or workmates – or in front of your boss. That’s why it is so important to apply systematic grammar rules to everything you write.

“New Words Make New Worlds.”

Your greatest asset can be a good command of the English language. A powerful vocabulary will take you a long way. Yet it can take years to develop – unless you have a structured programme for building it.  With ‘The Verbal Advantage’, you’ll learn natural vocabulary-building skills and you’ll use them to master hundreds of words.
