Simplifying language is a rare skill. Grammar rules are intricate and sentence structures can become complicated.
Yet it’s essential to simplify language to communicate precisely to diverse audiences. If you can explain abstract concepts in a natural way, or bring out their deeper meaning by reading between the lines, you possess an even rarer skill – one that shows your insights.
Many of us are familiar with this skill. It comes by intuition: the sense we get when we know how something works without overanalyzing it. It’s much like how we can “guess” if someone is trustworthy without consciously exploring them.
The world of language is vast, filled with rules and subtleties that aren’t immediately obvious. I’ve spent years exploring this world, guided by instinct, analogy and storytelling. Instinct gives a sense of how things work even if they’re difficult to understand. Analogy compares abstract to concrete ideas, making them familiar. And storytelling engages, making concepts relatable.
And it’s all here – in this blog.
I demystify complex language rules, presenting them as patterns or formulas, breaking them down into digestible pieces. Sometimes I weave stories around these rules so that anyone can understand them.
If you can simplify English, it isn’t so daunting after all. Explore it. Make sense of its rules. Gain insights. That way, anyone can master it.
