An explanation of frequently misused homophones and other closely related words.

Description

Whether you are a beginner, or have been studying for years, English can often be a very confusing and inconsistent language. There are words that sound the same, words that look the same, and other words that don’t even seem to follow the “rules” of English at all. Together, we can go over some of the most commonly misused words in the English language, and work on ways to use them correctly in the future. After our lesson, I will send you a detailed list of what we went over so that you can practice on your own as well!
