I chose this book to satisfy my longing to read an English original. I'm immersed in the fun of reading Little Women day by day with lessons from Teacher Liter Stella!
Whenever I study English, I want to try reading an original. But I've failed every time because the book was too easy, too hard, too long, or something else. This time, I found #30DaysOfReadingEnglish: a manageable amount, an English original alongside its Korean translation, and commentary that tells you more about the work. Three birds with one stone! The book is divided into Day 1 through Day 30, with about one page per day, so it doesn't feel like too much. Personally, I'll read straight
I picked up this book thinking it would be a bridge to reading English originals, especially difficult classics. But this book isn't just for reading an English original; it was an essential guide to reading Little Women! That's because it walks through the background and the author's intentions, among other things I couldn't possibly know just by reading a Korean translation of Little Women. It's a hardcover, so it's nice to keep, and the book band seemed essential, so I taped it in place. The
This review was written as part of a review panel. Language study is usually like this: passing a particular exam or reaching a specific goal doesn't mean you can say you know the language well. Someone tells you that you've climbed one step, in a way that carries some authority, and you feel a degree of accomplishment; still, what I usually feel is that I have a long way to go, not that I've studied hard enough by now. Of course, some people may feel differently, but personally, even though I
The covers of the two books I received after being selected for a café review group aren't really to my personal taste, though other people in the café said, 'They're so pretty!' I thought we were applying for one book each, so I was surprised to receive two! That's a secret, though! The reason I applied to the review group was the line printed inside the cover: To become good at a language, isn't the most important thing simply to meet English every day? In the preface, the author gently
It's an easy, smooth read. The original and Korean translation are printed separately, with explanations, so I think it'll be easy to follow. The book itself is beautiful, and the QR codes and layout are clean and well done, which makes it even better.
Dear Jo, I was so glad to meet again, after such a long time, the 'friend of my own' I had forgotten about. This time, Dear My Jo is a new kind of Little Women. It is Little Women in 30 Days of Reading in English, a book that selects 30 important scenes from Louisa May Alcott's original so you can read them in English. Lee Ji-young (Liter Stella), a guided reader of English originals and essayist, kindly explains not only the Korean translation but also English expressions and the work itself.
I used to try reading books in English, but gave up four years ago. I picked this up to try building the habit again. 'All we're trying to do is meet English every day. We're collecting small actions each day.' Reading an English original requires both a reading habit and the ability to read English, so many people can't keep it up. When someone else sets a goal and says, 'Let's just try it for 30 days,' it gives you the courage to try again. The book doesn't contain the entire novel; the
Louisa May Alcott's Little Women and Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables are timeless classics that capture the essence of family, love, and personal growth. Gilbut Publishing has released these two novels, familiar to me since my school days, in a way that preserves the warmth of the originals. It's also distinctive that a guide, Liter Stella, appears to help readers study English comfortably over 30 days. The guide encourages readers not to be intimidated by the original, but simply
Among all the great classics girls love, aren't Anne of Green Gables and Little Women the first that come to mind? Stories of imaginative, curious Anne Shirley and the four sisters Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, each with a distinct personality, their bond, and their individual growth still leave a warm impression on girls who have grown into women. Here's a new book for readers who want to revisit the pleasure of classics from childhood in the original rather than in translation, and for beginners
Louisa May Alcott: 30 Days of Reading English: Little Women
There were friends who could draw us in front of the TV even when we’d been playing outside wildly as children. Anne Shirley from Anne of Green Gables made our hearts race with the thought, “So I’m not the only one who thinks that way,” and the four March sisters from Little Women gave us strength whenever we felt tired. Why not read these works that have captivated people around the world in their original English? You can experience the author’s intentions and moving moments that you may not find in an animated adaptation or translated book. There’s no need to be intimidated just because it’s an original English text. This book selects 30 important scenes so readers can enjoy it regardless of their English level. It lets you read the original while easing the burden—like a YouTube video that gathers the key scenes from a drama or movie. The plot is summarized between scenes, so you won’t lose the story or the fun. These are stories already in our memories, and the main characters feel like our childhood best friends. To ease the pressure of studying and deliver the emotion intact, the author, Liter Stella, serves as a docent. Rather than focusing on English, she shares engaging details about the era, culture, and characters so readers can focus on the literature. Our only goal is to keep going consistently for 30 days. If the original English feels difficult at first, you can read the translation or look over the vocabulary beforehand. Reading the original after the commentary may also help you understand it more comfortably and fully. Scan the QR code to hear today’s original passage read accurately, and Liter Stella explains the English expressions and their meanings.
