Grammar Series: Grammar Boot Camp
This workshop is for translators who are looking to brush their grammar skills. Get ready to retrain your 'grammar instinct'.
About the Workshop:
Grammar by instinct—we’re all guilty. Good instincts will get you far, but they’ll also lead you into traps now and then. This workshop/webinar runs through the top five grammar and punctuation errors in publications, teaching you to spot the gaffes and banish them from your own documents. Warm up with a grammar exercise (provided in advance) and get ready to retrain your instincts.
