I bought this after getting a recommendation. I will enjoy reading it.

For Koreans, isn't English a lifelong burden? Especially for office workers like me who lack confidence in English, the need to study it never leaves my mind. However, I cannot help but wonder which type of English I should study. I agonize over whether to study conversational English for overseas travel or business English for international business. Ultimately, while both share the fundamental purpose of communicating with foreigners, there are likely some differences in their practical

I found it very relatable because much of the content is applicable to conference calls, email exchanges, and practical business tasks with overseas clients. Although I was already familiar with much of the material, I believe it will be highly useful for actual work applications. At a time when overseas business is increasing, it is truly interesting to see a glimpse of the realities of the industry. I think this is a book I would recommend to colleagues or new employees. I would be willing to

Every New Year, I make a firm resolution with clenched fists: to study English. However, it always ends up being a short-lived resolution. Nevertheless, whenever the new year comes, I find myself poring over English books as if nothing had happened. The problem is that while studying requires consistency to improve, I work hard at the beginning only to lose interest at some point. Just recently, I bought grammar and conversation books with high hopes and eagerly started studying them, only to

As long as one is born in the Republic of English, South Korea, there is no way to escape the "influence of English." This obsessive, unrequited love has, in turn, created "English anxiety." Nowhere else in the world is there a country where love for English has reached the level of stalking, except in South Korea. Why can't we say a single word properly when we love it this much? Efforts to escape this dilemma can be seen everywhere these days; alongside initiatives like "English camps" and

I had to buy three copies of *Don't Laugh, I'm an English Book*. Since the book is 1.2 volumes long, buying two copies makes sense. But why did I buy the third one? It was because of my child. I thought it was a really good book, so I read it myself first and then gave it to my child. My child was so engrossed in it that they looked at it until bedtime and fell asleep. Because they loved it so much and looked at it for so long, even though my child usually keeps books clean, the book eventually

Don't laugh! I'm a business English book. I really don't know if this is a book I shouldn't laugh at or one I should cry over. Perhaps it's because tears well up every time I study English. English feels like a cursed world that cannot be conquered. I feel like I live my life constantly buried in worry about how I can become proficient in English. From the moment I first learned about the world of English until now, it has been a world filled with nothing but difficulties. It is a reality where

It portrays office life so realistically that I had a smile on my face the entire time I was reading. It does a great job of organizing easy and useful expressions for business English beginners without making it boring.

The top priority on my plan for this year is "mastering 2.5 foreign languages." I focused on a long-term goal rather than the unrealistic goal of mastering them within the year. I realized that I should learn at least two languages to keep up with the global era, and now all that remains is to take one step at a time toward that goal. In the case of English, having spent a long time studying primarily grammar, I know from experience that I tend to avoid foreigners and find it quite difficult to

In business English, there is inevitably a sense of pressure to use the appropriate vocabulary for each situation. For presentations or meetings, using the right terminology for the occasion is considered proper etiquette, so studying accordingly is necessary. However, since most commonly used terms and phrases tend to feel stiff, it is not easy to start with a light heart. In contrast, this book was a welcome sight, as it features elements that dispel that heavy feeling right from the cover.
