Hello all, I am new here.
I'll post my question in short: What is the reference to learn English as a native or first-language speaker?
Knowing that I have lived there (in Australia) when I was young from age 2 to 7 years old.
I was reading the book (Practical English Usage) by Micheal Swan , and from page 8 he says under 'What is Practical English Usage':
"Practical English Usage is a combined usage guide and learner's grammar. it is intended mainly for advanced students and teachers of English as a foreign or second language; it may also be useful to teacher trainers and materials writers. It is not addressed to native speakers of English, who need a rather different kind of reference book"
I will post a picture of the page just in case, first paragraph.
So, can you please provide advice of how can I make myself stronger as a native speaker?
