For reasons left unexplained, this instructor desperately wants to avoid using grammar terms. At one point he apologizes for ten minutes for having to introduce the concept of "a verb," (which he explains as "a word that can follow I, you, and he and sometimes to.") What really infuriated me was when he starts referring to the direct object of a verb as "the victim of the situation." (I kid you not.) I liked his approach of pointing out ways in which German was similar to English and using familiar words, but at this point I'm looking for a different course.
