English with Tears was published in the late 1990’s. The first few years after the
fall of communism was a time when English was “top priority”: all schools and
universities enjoyed the freedom to teach it extensively, and were eager to do it on
the basis of texts that had nothing to do with communism. Teaching English had
been a prey to red propaganda for too long.
Once publication of English handbooks was politically free, the first reaction
of those who authored them was to let go of the sentences including the working
class, peasants, socialist achievements, and so on. Humour was one way out. New
handbooks of English sold like hot cakes. English with Tears has been among the very
best.
Some authors adopted the “imitate the native” method, which always works.
Others stayed close to the traditional idea that one cannot learn a foreign language
unless you understand the grammar rules that govern it. English with Tears is a plea
for Grammar. We are publishing it again now, in the hope that the two methods can
and will go together.
