Speak Up: My 2-Day Challenge in Practicing English Conversation

Practice

Pattern: 주어 + 동사 + 목적어

  • I Sleep.
  • I eat launch.
  • I drink coffee.
  • I watch TV.
  • I clean the house.
  • I study English.
  • I read a book.

tip. 주어 + 동사 + 목적어: 영어는 어순이 중요하다.

영어를 공식처럼 외우지 말고, 몸이 익숙해지도록 노력하자.

한국어와 다른점은 주어가 확실하면 주어를 생략하는 특징이 있다.

I want to Say

Original

 It’s too hard for me that speaking english exactly pernounciation. But it is not important when communicate with other people. they know what i say although not perpect pernounciation.

Revised

It’s hard for me to pronounce English perpectly. But it’s not important when talking with others; they understand me even if my pronounciation isn’t perpect.


 외국어로 소통하는데 발음은 중요하지만, 완벽하지 않아도 된다.
중요한 것은 상대와 감정을 교류하고 소통할 수 있는가 없는가이다.
