课程教学生们语言的结构，语言的历史，怎么去分析不同的语言，等等。比如说：Syntax （the arrangement of words and phrases to create well-formed sentences in a language．） What's the subject, indirect object, direct object, or preposition of a sentence? Why do we need them, and how do we use them? 除了syntax， 还有tenses, pragmatics, semantics, linguistical morphology, etc.． 这门课程不仅对学生们以后学英语和另一些语言的时候有帮助，还会在将来考SAT或者PSAT的时候有很大的作用．

We will also do problems in each class before a lesson. An example problem would be: https://nacloweb.org/resources/problems/2021/N2021-L.pdf
