How and Why Cozy Grammar Came to Be
In a recent Ask Cozy Grammar session, Angie F. wanted to know more about Cozy Grammar and its courses. Here Thomas gives an overview of how Cozy Grammar came to be.
The Gift of the Present Tense
This month we wanted to talk about the hidden gift of the present tense and make a special announcement about our new PDF workbooks. Take a peek at her lesson on the present tense, then I’ll explain what I mean by the hidden gift of the present tense.
Grammar and Beauty
Just as it may seem strange at first to talk about grammar and gratitude, it may also seem strange to talk about grammar and beauty. But as Marie and Thomas explain in Lesson 14 of The Basic Cozy Grammar Course, beauty and grammar go together.
Gratitude and Grammar
What could be more surprising and helpful than talking about grammar and gratitude? We tend to think of grammar as dry and even lifeless, but properly taught, grammar can be an extraordinary and powerful tool for increasing awareness, unleashing creativity, and fostering true success. Take a peek at this month’s free videos to learn more!
Grammar, Love, and Colloquial Language
As we embrace the new year, we wanted to share a helpful rule from Marie about colloquial language and good grammar. Although it makes a simple and easy-to-follow point, her rule also speaks to the love that lies behind all of Marie’s courses. We’d like to share it with you.
A Cozy Announcement
It is with great pleasure that we’re finally able to invite you to join Marie in and around her cozy cottage by the sea to learn and enjoy grammar and punctuation. The living textbook that Marie imagined from the beginning has finally become a reality, and we’re humbled and honored to be able to share it with you.
