검색하다가 우연히 들어왔는데, 중간까지 외국인이 쓴 줄 몰랐어요. 저보다 글을 잘 쓰시는 것 같네요ㄷㄷㄷ
Thanks!
“언어는 평생습관이고 평생에 걸친공부다.”
요즘 깨달은 사실이에요.
영어공부에 눈에 띄는 진척 없어보이지만
꾸준히 공부하는 이유는
물방울이 모여 바다를 이루는 깨달음 있을 거라 믿어서예요.
Michael 선생님 덕분에 재밌게 공부하고 있어요
Mr.Elliott.
I really really appreciate your efforts!
^^~
나이들어 이제 공부해도 머리에 들어올까 소심한 생각중이었는데 용기를 주네요.
Thank you Michael!
놀랍고 존경스러운 마음에 댓글 남깁니다. 이 글의 저자가 누군지 몰랐다면, 한국어 원어민 중에서도 글을 잘 쓰는 편인 분의 글이라고 생각했을 것 같아요. 그 정도로 흠 잡을 데 없이 정갈하고 전달하고자 하는 메시지도 분명한 글입니다. 외국어를 이 정도 수준으로 구사할 수 있다는 사실이 놀라울 따름입니다. 글에서 전달하신 메시지도 흥미롭고, 또 다른 외국어를 공부하고 있는 입장에서 많은 격려가 됩니다. 항상 좋은 글과 영상 감사드립니다. 덕분에 많이 배웁니다.
WOW
this post makes me look back.
I have been in a slump, and it seems to hard to get over it.
But now I can feel I will move on with my plans.
I totally agree on your saying: it is a matter of quality, not quantity.
I hope someday I can speak English using a variety of expressions, sayings, and onomatopoeic words.
(한국어 영어 모두 다채롭게 사용할 날까지 한 우물만 파야겠습니다 ㅎㅎ)
Thank you for such a great comment.
Thanks for leaving a message!
Your English looks pretty good to me.
Stay strong!
Hi Michael! I’m Subin Lee. But I sometimes go by Sue in the U.S.A ^ ^ 사이트 보면서 영어도 배우지만 항상 ‘To stick it out’ 하는 쌤의 삶의 자세와 마음가짐을 가장 많이 본받고 배우는 것 같아요. 이 칼럼 또한 언젠가는 영어를 매우 잘하게 되길 갈망하는 저에게 큰 힘과 위로를 주네요. 71세 까지 영어를 연마하는 동안 저도 마이클쌤처럼 주변 사람들에게 좋은 영향을 끼치며 지내려 노력하겠습니다. 정말 감사합니다. ♡
Thanks for saying that!
감사합니다 ^^
마이클님 안녕하세요,
런던에 살고 있는 케이 라고 합니다.
대학원 진학을 위해 아이엘츠 공부를 하다 마이클님의 우연하게 동영상을 접하게 되었구요.
정말 유익한 표현을 많이 배울수 있어서 정말 고맙다고 꼭 전하고 싶었어요.
그리고 오늘은 마이클님의 칼럼을 읽고 정말 감동했어요. 한국말 배우기가 정말 힘드실텐데 원어민인 저보다 잘하시는거 같아요.
계속 열심히 시청 할께요.
전 어려서 일본에 유학을 가서 거기서 오래 살다가, 지금은 영국인 남편과 강아지 두마리와 함께 런던에서 살고있어요.
모든 언어가 그렇듯 영어는 여기서 8년째 항상 써도 특별히 배우려는 의지가 없으면 배움이 늘지 않는 것 같아요. 그래서 요즘은 노력중 이예요. 마이클님 본받아서 더더욱 열심히하고 싶어요.
다시 한번 감사드려요.
케이 블릭
