    Introduction

    The limits of my language are the limits of my world.

    -Ludwig Wittgenstein

    First of all, congratulations on wanting to further yourself and excel in English! Whether you are a native speaker or a non-native speaker of English, there is always something to learn in this wondrous language.

    There is no doubt that English is the global tongue: A total of 1.5 billion people speak English as first or second language. Making an improvement in your delivery of English is one of the best investments that you can make in yourself.

    Maybe you want to deliver better presentations. Perhaps you want to share your everyday stories with friends and family in a more creative and articulate way. Perhaps you would simply like to express your thoughts more completely and precisely in everyday situations.

    Whatever your reason, your goal is the same: To enhance your English ability.

    You are reading this because you want to improve in this area. This book will help you do just that by guiding you through and showing you how to master six key areas of English. Mastering these areas will lead to dramatic improvement in your English use, both in speaking and writing.

    We won’t get overly technical with grammar, or use complex terms to describe English. This book is written in as casual a way as possible so that it’s easy to read and (hopefully!) enjoyable.

    English is a beautiful language, but are you using it to its full potential in your speaking and/or writing?

    In the coming chapters you’ll learn exactly how to push the boundaries of your English ability, and improve in areas that you didn’t think were possible. You’ll become more articulate, more precise, clearer, more descriptive and more creative in your English delivery.

    The techniques I outline in this book are tried and trusted. I have taught them to hundreds of students over the last 10 years. Join me on this journey to improving your English in an enjoyable, fun and engaging way.

    About me

    Perhaps of all the creations of man, language is the most astonishing.

    -Giles Lytton Strachey

    My name is Anthony. Born in Ireland and raised in London, I became interested languages, in particular the English language, during my college years. As a result, I decided to study BA Linguistics & TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) at the University of Roehampton in London. This subject involved studying modules on English language, English grammar and syntax, the sound structure of English, and many other areas.

    This deep study of the English language fascinated me, and got me thinking about how simple it actually is. It can all be broken down into chunks which we can then explain using rules. If you want to become a speech therapist, you break down the language into sound patterns and structures; if you want to become a lexicographer (a person who compiles dictionaries), you break it down into words. If you want to become a teacher of English, you generally have to break the whole language down into chunks and explain them all.

    After teaching English for the last 10 years, I learned exactly
