I liked the introduction. A little later I was asking, “What are we watching?” There’s a spaceship, a search for the plans to English grammar, and a character addressed as “Miss President.” My assessment was, “I think this tape is on drugs.”
The first lesson covers nouns, verbs, subjects and predicates. I thought we’d reached the end, only to discover there was a second lesson on adjectives, adverbs and prepositional phrases. Apparently we weren’t getting out of English class that easily.
