No One Fails if they Have the Tools
That was Marie Rackham's firmly held belief.
She spent her life helping others gain the tools they needed to succeed, whatever that happened to mean to them.
She even had a sign made to hang in her classroom:
This spirit animates her cozy video courses, lovingly filmed by producer/director David Mielke and an intrepid crew of film professionals, family, and friends.
Marie believed that by taking grammar out of the classroom, away from the whiteboard and from abstract examples, it's possible to make the subject engaging and interesting again.
By placing the study of language back into the context of nature and everyday life, the subject comes alive and students gain the tools of grammar easily, even joyfully.
And with our new streaming format, each of Marie's lessons now includes an additional video from her Cozy Language Consultant, Thomas Hitoshi Pruiksma, who shows how grammar and punctuation link directly to the practice of writing and creativity.
We've also added comprehensive online study notes, with new activities and mini-lessons, and interactive exercises and review tests, complete with personalized answer keys and helpful tips.
Take a peek at our courses, and don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions. We're always happy to help!

Many people have been struck by Marie's interpretation of classical piano music, and by her original compositions, all of which form the soundtrack to the Cozy Grammar Courses.
Starting in late 2019, we will begin releasing recordings of the soundtrack she performed in the studio for The Basic Cozy Grammar Course and The Basic Cozy Punctuation Course.
