The talented and lively Standard Deviants crew teaches viewers ways to understand the nature of language instead of guiding them by rote memorization. Learn the intricacies of grammar, numbers, verbs, conjugation, adjectives and more. How? Along with skits, musical performances and other creative programs designed by a team of educators, learners do drills and quizzes at the end of each segment, as well as a comprehensive exam.

Standard Deviants TV comprised material from the Standard Deviants home videos, edited into 25-minute episodes that aired on PBS. The series also included three episodes with new material on geography.
