나와 궁합이 잘 맞는 영어? 가급적 그런 영어를 입력해야 출력 (말하기,쓰기)이 쉽습니다!

[무념무상 암기법] 이것도 역시 전체를 1~2일에 한 번씩 아무 생각없이 무념무상으로 읽어 나가십시오. 2~3개월 정도 후면 거의 무의식적인 상태로 암기가 될 것입니다. 즉 장기기억장치로 내려가서 암기가 되는 것이죠. 그러면 아주 오래 오래 오~래 갑니다.

우리말로 번역하여 이해하려 하지마시고, 영어 그대로를 음미하며 암기하시기 바랍니다. 그러면 앞으로 영어를 대하는 폭과 깊이가 달라질 것입니다. 영어는 영어 그대로를 음미할 때 제 맛을 가장 잘 느낄 수 있습니다. 진정한 독해는 이해가 아니라 음미입니다. 머리로 이해하는 것이 아니라 가슴으로 느끼는 것이죠. 이게 바로 독해의 최고봉이며 원어민들의 방법이기도 합니다. 이렇게 자꾸 연습하시면 전반적인 영문독해 속도도 당근 빨라지죠.

여기 나오는 속담은 미국의 여러 사이트에서 공통으로 나오는 것만 추린 것으로 영어속담 중에서 가장 많이 인용되는 것들입니다.

이 속담들은 영어공부에 뿐 아니라 우리 생활의 전반에 엄청난 영감과 활기를 줄 수도 있을 것입니다. 모두 수백년의 세월을 견디며 지금까지 살아남은 것들로 이미 충분히 검증된 진리 중의 진리라 할 수 있겠습니다. 어쩌면 수십 혹은 수백 권의 책을 읽는 것보다 여러분들의 생활에 더 큰 힘이 될 수도 있을 것입니다. 여러 번 읽으셔서 다 외워보시기 바랍니다. 저도 꼭 그럴 참입니다.

You can't make bricks without straw.
You can't teach an old dog new tricks.
You can't tell a book by looking at its cover.
You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.
You never know till you have tried.
Young men think old men fools; old men know young men to be so.
Youth and age will never agree.
Youth is wasted on the young.
Youth lives on hope, old age on remembrance.
Zeal without knowledge is a runaway horse.
