Description The English that American moms and dads use with their kids every day is simple and easy! Oliver Sam, the beloved host of a YouTube English channel with 2.09 million subscribers, has carefully selected essential expressions that American parents use with their children and compiled them into a daily English calendar book. Designed with one loving sentence a day, it helps children naturally grow close to English. Oliver Sam, a veteran English teacher who has taught students from non-English-speaking countries for over a decade, had a special reason for publishing an English book for children. Having majored in linguistics and being fluent in English, Spanish, and Korean, Oliver Sam always found learning new languages exciting and enjoyable. But when his daughter Cherry was born, an unexpected concern arose. Born to a Korean mother, his daughter is half Korean and half American by heritage, and he wanted her to naturally acquire both languages. He believed that feeling a strong cultural connection through both Korean and English is one of the greatest legacies parents can give their children. Oliver Sam found that the most important and essential key to language education is "emotional connection." Children begin learning language through the voices of their moms and dads. When there is loving connection, at some point children begin to speak and naturally acquire their mother tongue. Yet while most parents understand how crucial this bond is when children learn their native language, why is this key element of connection so often forgotten when it comes to teaching English? It's because many parents simply don't know how to connect with their children in English. Many Korean moms and dads, having studied English through school curricula and practical exams like TOEIC, can speak at a high level, but often don't know the everyday expressions needed to truly communicate with their children. Even though Korean parents spend a great deal of money on English education, they never quite stop worrying about their children's English as they grow up. With the hope of making English a little easier and more familiar for both parents and children, this daily calendar was created to make learning fun and simple every day. Parents Can Build English Confidence, and Children Can Learn Good Habits and Life Wisdom Oliver Sam wanted to share with Korean parents the living English expressions he heard from his own mother as a child, and the real phrases that many American moms and dads use with their children today. Instead of difficult expressions, he carefully selected simple, everyday phrases that American parents use with their kids, so children can communicate naturally in English. Just as American parents talk to their children, this book offers one sentence a day for parents to share. It also includes expressions children might use to respond to what their parents say. Alongside key vocabulary worth remembering, QR codes are included so readers can listen to Oliver Sam's own voice reading each expression aloud. In particular, this book organizes English expressions by special monthly themes to strengthen a child's heart and spirit — including expressions of love, phrases that build independence, expressions that spark imagination, phrases for playing together, expressions for exploring the body, and phrases for experiencing the world through the five senses. The 365 illustrations, hand-drawn by Oliver Sam's Korean wife Manim — whose daily-life Instagram comics have won the hearts of 170,000 followers — add warmth and charm that make English even more inviting for children. The more joyful the communication between parent and child in English, the more children will come to love and enjoy the language. For children to become truly comfortable with English, they need encouragement and love as they progress step by step — first listening and understanding, then gradually learning to speak. This book helps children build good habits by naturally incorporating English into daily life, just as they would learn their native language, while helping parents build confidence in their own English. It will serve as an exciting bridge, helping parents and children create a joyful space for connection through English. Contents Preview January. LOVE: Words That Express Love February.
