I try to assist with practical use of English language, meaning the common form and uses rather than the technical aspects.
I try to provide common English expressions - these usually work well in causing people to ask for explanation. Explanation is a good chance to increase understanding.
Questions are the name of the game. It is bewildering.. words can often be used as questions as an example - "Really?"

Hi, DougLewis.
I just want to make sure.
You say that you believe telling common example sentences is better than telling rules or grammar, when you teach English, don’t you?
Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.
If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
