Anna is Real!
Anna Grammar sounds like a made up name, and it is!
However, Anna Grammar is real. Here she
answers some non-grammar questions about herself.
"Over the years, some people have asked English-To-Go.com
whether I was real. Of course! I really am an Ann, I really
teach English (I run my own language school), and I really
love grammar."
Ann has taught English since 1976, and has run her own
language school since 1990. She has been answering grammar
questions for English-To-Go.com for nearly ten years.
She initially had some assistance from a dog.
 "I was helped in the early years of English-To-Go.com
by my very special dog, Wolfie. Wolfie's full name was
Prof Wolfgang Amadeus, and he knew more English grammar
than any other dog, partly because he attended more English
classes than any other dog (he lay under a desk in my
classroom), and partly because he was a very clever and
sociable little dog. He actually answered some grammar
questions on English-To-Go."
Anna herself has written a number of courses, including
ones for Anglo American mining staff, and other corporations.
She also compiles materials for her school's courses.
"When I started teaching the World Wide Web had not been
developed. It has been very interesting to see which of
the 'old fashioned' tried and true teaching techniques
still work as well as ever, and which aspects of teaching
have been changed by the Web."
