My name is Christopher Valle. I'm a big fan of anime. I was born in El Salvador. I came to Los Angeles, California about 6 years ago. When I first came to this country I loved it because it was a lot more futuristic than where I lived before, but eventually I was hit with the reality of the American dream. I got really stressed out trying to make friends again, but the most stressful thing was learning English because it has little to no similarity to spanish, writing English was definitely the hardest part of all. The process of messing up so many times trying to write one paragraph was a very demotivating time for me. To be completely honest I have no idea the exact way I learned English because I just listened to people and then in a short period of time I was just understanding English like it was my first language. I picked the subject of anime in order to demonstrate my interest in the different styles of art and animation. This book is for young people and high school students just to have fun reading examples of popular anime while learning about grammar. This book brings a lot of fun with learning grammar.
About the Author
Dedication I dedicate this book to all the people who are learning English as their second language. Learning a new language is e remely difficult and to anyone that likes anime.
Introduction
I came with the idea of creating a book right a er my teacher told me about it. It was a fascinating and a very interesting concept to me. I thought about writing a book about writing which sounds dumb, but this book would have helped me when I was learning English grammar. As I mentioned, this book is about all the details of writing in English, it explains how to properly structure a paragraph. The book goes from adjectives to how the types of paragraphs are used and some common mistakes you should avoid writing in this beauti l language. I chose the subject of anime for the examples of this book because I know a l of phrases that fit perfectly to be used as examples for some sections of this book. I chose this book because I was really interested to write all about the English language. I myself learned a l writing this book and I would love to see a l of people learn proper grammar from this book too. If I was given the opportunity I would like to do the same thing, but with an her language her than English or Spanish.
