The secret to becoming good at English like Gaeul?

A new paradigm in early childhood English education, Autumn Mom’s Picture Book Immersion English
We try to order worksheets and send children to English kindergartens, but we feel limited because we are not able to achieve the results we invested, and we worry that if we do not teach our children, they will fall behind the children next door. This is the current state of English education in our country. Education policies have changed dozens of times over the past 10 years, the private education market is growing larger every year, and the stress on English for parents and children is increasing as children grow. What's even more surprising is that even though they have been going to a private academy to learn English since they were young and have been learning English at school for over 10 years, the average English proficiency of Koreans is at the lowest level internationally. As these problems continue to emerge, mothers are increasingly attempting to teach their children English as an alternative. However, the reality is that her mother is at a loss as to how to start learning English after giving up English books for over 10 years.
“Autumn Mom’s Picture Book Immersion English” is a book that shows a new paradigm of mother-style English that makes both mother and child happy. This is an English education guide written about the experience of raising six-year-old Eul-eul, who has no qualms about thinking and speaking in English, even though her mother and father are not fluent in English and did not send their child to an expensive private education.
The author, Autumn Mom, has been providing counseling to many mothers regarding childcare and English at 'Pureum.com', a website specializing in children's education, and is giving lectures on children's English progress at 'Pureum Mom University'. This book, which contains Autumn Mom's know-how that can be used as a natural and reliable language in a child's daily life, helps children learn how to use English comfortably and further teaches them how to achieve happy parenting with their child. In these days when the importance of English is increasing and parents are burdened with the burden of private education expenses, it will be a wise and realistic model answer. 〈Autumn Mom's English Picture Book Know-How DVD〉 provides vivid lectures from Autumn Mom on how to select English picture books and how to read them.

‘Picture Book English’ completes the foundation of English for your child’s life
Learning another country's language is like running a long distance marathon. After determining how much the child enjoys and likes it, reading and writing should begin. It is not considerate of the child to force a difficult English book on a child who has not developed a rapport with books, and it is not considerate for the child to have a child who feels separation anxiety from his mother take classes with a native speaker who cannot understand the language. Among children who were forced to learn English from infancy, there are many cases where they give up studying English in the upper grades of elementary school. This is because the mother's mind took precedence before the child found English to be fun. A mother's role is to help her child accept English as a fun language. 《Autumn Mom's Picture Book Immersion English》 focuses on 'Let your child read, listen, and imagine a lot, just like learning the Korean language!' And at the foundation is a ‘picture book’. In particular, she recommends English picture books to mothers who have a fear of English or are not confident in speaking English. It's a really easy method for new mothers because you just have to look at the picture and then read it with emotion, rather than giving the child knowledge.
Gaeul’s mom bought Gaeul so many books that her living room was filled with them, and more than half of them were English books. Among the many English books, about 90% are easy books with one or two lines, and although they cover the same or similar topics, the way they are solved or the illustrations are diverse. Through various processes such as pulling up, unfolding, opening and closing these picture books, Gaeul learned English just as she learned Korean.
What Gaeul's Mom did was simply create an environment where Gaeul could be exposed to English without any concept of teaching, and only allowed Gaeul to play with English picture books while pursuing fun. Meanwhile, while reading English picture books, Gaeul naturally connected the sounds she heard with the images of the pictures. This is the same way that all children in the world learn their native language. While slowly and happily enjoying English picture books, Ga Eul's curiosity about English opened wide, and the day came when she spoke English and her ears opened.

Autumn Mom’s special English teaching method developed with books and love
Autumn Mom’s special parenting principle is interest. Gaeul became good at English thanks to the special attention of her mom and dad. However, this does not mean that parents speak English to their children every day because they are good at English. Emotionally, she paid attention to her child's behavior and tried to understand his feelings. And when it came to books, she didn't limit herself to areas or topics as long as it was something the child would like. As Autumn read so many books, she came to recognize English as if it were her native language. In Chapter 1, she explains in detail the basic principles of parenting that bring out the specialness in children.
Six-year-old Gaeul’s extraordinary and different from others all started from reading books. Learning Korean at an early age was possible because I had read a lot of books since I was young, and the ability to play imaginary games and speak in English was all thanks to the skills I developed through English picture books. Chapter 2, which contains Autumn Mom's know-how about reading books, which is the basis for lifelong study, introduces vivid examples such as how to develop a book reading habit, tips for choosing books, finding balance between collections and books, and learning Korean with picture books. I'm doing it.
Chapter 3, which teaches how to make English a 'fun language' rather than a 'boring study', includes know-how to effectively read English picture books to children, step-by-step purchasing tips for English picture books, and intensive strategies for children who start learning English late. It contains practical information that will help your child learn English in a fun way without getting bored.
Getting a child to fall in love with books in English, which is not their native language, is not as easy as you might think. Even when supported by the mother's passion, interest, and love, there is no guarantee that this will happen. In Chapter 4, which explains in detail how Gaeul learned English, based on Gaeul's experience, it explains what English books should be purchased at what time and how to use each book to maintain the child's interest in the number of months. It provides specific and systematic guidance.

There are countless ways to learn English in the world, but most of them try to ‘teach’ English. Therefore, wait until your child is old enough to learn English. However, as people get older, their ability to absorb English decreases, making learning English more difficult. Autumn Mom’s Picture Book Immersion English is not a ‘teaching’ method. It is an education that naturally brings out the great abilities that exist within a child through fun picture books, just as children can freely speak their native language at the age of three. This ability exists in every human being born, so if other parents make the same effort for their children, just as Gaeul's mom provided a careful English environment for Gaeul, all children in this country will experience the same results as Gaeul. .

The reason why every line of the text in the book resonates with me so much and moves me is because it is based on great motherhood. This book, which captures the process of a mother and child growing together while doing their best for the life born through borrowing my body, is something that all parents need to read carefully, even if it is not necessarily for 'English'. Considering the overwhelming feelings of parents who are learning English for their children for the first time, the book provides detailed and kind advice as if talking to a friend or younger sibling. This book is even more valuable and meaningful because the advice comes from lived experience. I hope that many parents will organize their thoughts about children's English and gain strength through this book. Furthermore, I hope that we will look back on the true direction of our English education, which is losing direction and only increasing in enthusiasm.
