How long will you stay at the basics?
After 100 days, you will be surprised by the English that comes out of your mouth! English has been a constant companion since school days. How many people in South Korea can say they are completely free from the stress of English? Especially, the desire to speak fluently and effortlessly with foreigners is something everyone shares. Once you feel you've studied enough English, the urge to watch movies or dramas without Korean subtitles arises. Despite memorizing countless English words and investing time and money in studying for various English tests, when it comes to conversing with a native speaker, your mind goes blank. You try to combine the words you know in your head, but it results in awkward English. Watching a drama without Korean subtitles seems impossible unless you've lived abroad for several years. For all English learners in South Korea who have the aspiration of saying, 'I want to speak English well now!'—especially those who want to speak closer to a native level—this book, 《Kim Jae-woo's English Conversation 100》, is for you. This book is written with the following points in mind: First, it meets the needs of learners who are at that ambiguous level between complete beginner and intermediate. Second, it minimizes difficult expressions while providing sentences that sound natural to native speakers. Third, it reduces overly idiomatic expressions and consists of common phrases frequently used in daily life by natives. Fourth, it is structured to make it easier to converse with natives and improve listening skills while watching dramas. Fifth, considering that even the best native-like expressions won't stick if you can't use them, it consists of dialogues made up of expressions and sentences that are easy to remember. Sixth, it maximizes learning effectiveness over the 100-day period by concentrating patterns and expressions that natives frequently use. The author, having gone through numerous trials and errors as a domestic learner and having taught many English learners while closely observing the differences between Korean and native English, has compiled 20 years of English teaching know-how into this book, 《Kim Jae-woo's English Conversation 100》, so that you can speak like a native without going abroad.
For those who have just started to take an interest in English, it provides practical expressions that can be used right away, and for those who can communicate but still feel frustrated with short answers, it serves as a guideline to grow into an intermediate learner or beyond.
