Numbers and expressions for things we count pop up in all kinds of unexpected places, and an advanced user should be able to navigate these. Many would have originally been encountered in high school mathematics or science, but if that happened in a language other than English ... Added to that are historical or figurative oddities, and frankly just odd usages, which make English so rich and such a challenge.
These advanced-vocabulary one-hour single-topic sessions focus on accuracy, appropriacy and on developing the speaker's range, while considering the many different forms, meanings and usages, both literal and metaphorical.- Word families
- Conjugations
- Usages, idiomatic and figurative
- Related vocabulary, synonyms, antonyms
- Uses and misuses
- Metaphorical usages
- Aphorisms
