Through illustrations and simple, straightforward text, L. Ron Hubbard’s Small Common Words Defined helps one attain full comprehension of written and spoken communication.

f one truly comprehended what he read and heard and if he were able to make himself comprehended by others, all of life would open to him. On the other hand, to the degree that one cannot express himself or make himself understood by others, life is closed. Such is the subject of the Key to Life course. Step by step, it literally strips away the reasons why one cannot clearly comprehend what he reads, writes and hears, and why others cannot comprehend him.

     Central to the course is a view of language, not as a random conglomeration of words arranged by grammarians, but a means to facilitate the communication of ideas. It holds words, not as sacred things to be dissected and classified for their own sake, but as tools for use. Likewise, Mr. Hubbard presents an entirely new view of English grammar, not as a study of rules, but as the way words are organized so as to convey exact thoughts, ideas and meanings amongst people.
