365일, 꾸준함의 기적! 습관이 기적을 만든다!

영어를 잘 하고 싶은데, 도대체 어디서부터 어떻게 시작해야 할까? 영어를 잘 할 수 있다는 공부 방법을 소개받지만, 각자 영어 실력이 다르고, 공부를 위해 투자할 수 있는 시간도 다르고, 영어 공부의 목적도 다르다. 나에게 맞는 방법을 찾지 못했을 뿐인데, 계속되는 실패 속에서 '나는 영어를 못하는 사람'이라는 낙인을 스스로 찍어버리고 그렇게 영어와 점점 멀어진다.

하지만 영어와 친해질 방법은 있다. 바로 단어를 공부하는 것이다. 단어만 알아도 상대방이 하는 말을 이해할 수 있고, 의사소통을 할 수 있다. 단어를 다양하게 알게 되면 소통의 폭은 훨씬 더 넓어진다. 〈영어독립단어〉 서비스는 영어 실력이 어떤 레벨이든, 자기 수준에 맞춰 실제로 쓰이는 영어 단어를 우선순위로 정리하여 단어를 더 효율적으로 습득할 수 있도록 돕는 영어학습 서비스이다.

책 《우리의 뇌는 어떻게 배우는가》에서 보여준 연구에 따르면 ‘새로운 단어의 의미를 배우는 능력은 성인이 되어도 아이와 같은 뇌 가소성을 유지한다’고 한다. 따라서 단어를 학습하는 것은 뇌과학 측면에서도 성인이 되어 영어를 효과적으로 학습할 수 있는 가장 빠른 길이다. 특히 문제를 풀고, 모르는 단어를 따로 학습하고, 이를 다시 퀴즈 형식으로 복습하는 아웃풋 방식으로 공부한다면, 영어를 더욱더 효율적으로 공부할 수 있다.

《영어독립 365》의 시작은 〈영어독립단어〉 서비스이다. 〈영어독립단어〉 서비스로 단어를 공부하고, 영어에 재미를 느끼게 할 수 있도록 해 주는 책이 바로 《영어독립 365》이다. 하루에 조금씩, 하지만 꾸준히 1년 동안 쌓이면 큰 변화를 가져올 수 있다. 영어는 내 삶을 발목 잡는 걸림돌이 아니라, 내 삶에 날개를 달아주는 힘이 되어야 한다. 영어라는 걸림돌에서 독립하고, 영어라는 날개를 통해 우뚝 서자! 《영어독립 365》와 함께 꾸준히 영어를 익힌다면 삶에서 영어가 주는 수많은 혜택을 누릴 수 있을 것이다!
