A poem on the origin of speech, letters, and the world

The Free Cozy Grammar Newsletter with Marie Rackham and Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma

Each month I like to share a poem that has something to say about the art of living.

This verse comes from my new translation of the classical Tamil masterpiece on ethics, power, and love, THE KURAL: Tiruvalluvar's Tirukkural, published by the venerable Beacon Press in Boston.

Have a listen!

Intermediate Cozy Grammar, Level Two!

We're in the final stages of preparing the revised and expanded version of the Intermediate Cozy Grammar Course, Level Two.

Here's what the course will offer you:

  • The reason why it’s not actually so bad to split an infinitive and how this serves you in mastering not just the structure but the history of English.
  • The essential work of clauses and how they can help you write expansive sentences that nobody gets lost in.
  • The undervalued art of creating diagrams of sentences that allow you to see their structures, and your own meanings, even more clearly.
  • A second bonus set of tips for acing the language section of educational exams in a way that turns even the dullest test into a lively and engaging game.
  • The master key that ties all of our Cozy Grammar courses together and integrates your understanding in a way that will serve you for as long as you continue reading and writing.

If this sounds interesting, check out our Complete Curriculum, to which this course will be added in just a few months.

In the meantime, here's a peek at the main topics that Marie and I cover in Level Two.

verbals, phrases, clauses, diagramming
