What Steve Kaufmann actually said

  1. Steve Kaufmann by Canadian former diplomat and lumber trader who speaks twenty languages
    Some people think CI means you reject grammar books. I disagree. I often reference grammar materials and find these explanations useful. However, the focus of my learning is not to “master the rules”. Grammar resources simply help me notice and make sense of patterns in the language.
