I bought this to memorize English more easily, and it flows so smoothly. I don't get stressed while memorizing, and I love it.
The very book I wanted! It has already been over 10 years since I restarted my English studies well past my 30s. Of course, I cannot boast that I studied diligently, but since I have never let go of English, it has become practically my closest friend. During that time, I encountered various English books, but none really struck me as the one. Every single one felt somehow lacking. In the midst of that, this book came to me like a refreshing rain. It is a book that enhances both my English
I am not sure whether to classify this as an English book or a general knowledge book, but what is clear is that the content is packed with incredibly interesting and entertaining material. It makes me wonder if the English words I used to struggle to mindlessly repeat and memorize in the past actually held such fascinating backstory.

Foreign languages are difficult. Foreign languages are easily forgotten. Unlike one's native language, it is natural for a foreign language to be easily forgotten if not used frequently. It is just like how one might forget the contents of a novel read long ago or a movie. However, aren't there also books or movies from a very long time ago that one still remembers?

Recently, I started thinking about taking a trip abroad with my children someday. However, the first thought that crossed my mind was, "Then I guess I'll have to start studying English again." I wanted to converse with my child in English, so I decided to start studying first and share the learning with them. It was in this context that I came across the book *Voca Concert 2*.
