Today, I have prepared something truly amazing, and I want to explain it to you all in a very calm manner. I want to explain it more calmly than usual because I believe that this kind of video doesn't exist not only in our country but also worldwide. I have perfectly prepared the stage for my English listening skills to be unlocked. I really hope you watch this video until the end, and if you know anyone around you who needs to study English, please share it with them. I will explain everything very calmly.

First of all, step one is to memorize at least 14 words. This is a crucial step that you must absolutely take. There is no way to skip this. Now, why specifically 14 words? If you want to fill in the gaps in your knowledge, you need to know which vocabulary to memorize, and that’s where I will explain the reverse law.

I learned about complex systems and, while attending graduate school, I thought about how certain words follow specific rules. I wondered where I could find a list of words that adhere to these rules, and I ended up exploring the Gutenberg Project. I looked for raw data, examined corpora, and tried various methods, including creating my own small corpus. In 2015, I self-published a wordbook, which was quite shocking because it was unique. At that time, this wordbook didn't even exist; I had created everything myself, even using big data concepts. I printed several hundred copies to share with friends and acquaintances. Since I had some copies left, I tried supplying them to Kyobo Bookstore, and it gained attention on my Facebook, leading to all of them selling out. The funny thing is, this wordbook only contained 20,000 words, and it was solely focused on English vocabulary.

There is no meaning; just study on your own. That's it. I created this to study, but at that time, I lacked statistical knowledge, so I ended up doing 20,000, which I didn't even need. I continued researching for ten years without stopping. I published papers and did various things, continuously working on it. Eventually, we came up with independent English words. For your reference, the number of problems solved by my learners has exceeded 60 million. We have an enormous amount of data. So I researched it. If we are going to study, let's memorize words that people actually use frequently. This principle is based on real frequency, which is incredibly significant. If you don't follow this order, it becomes very inefficient. Therefore, I conducted various studies, including analyzing Friends.

Everything is different when you try it out, everyone, please take a closer look. Friends is a sitcom, and then there are fairy tale books that have received the Newbery Medal and the Carnegie Medal. These fairy tale books can also be seen as self-development books in terms of human relationships. Then there are movies, which are not dramas but films. Additionally, Shark Tank is on YouTube, and Ted is quite famous. This is American public radio broadcasting, which is news, yes, news. Furthermore, we will analyze the college entrance exam as well. So, all the samples are completely different, which means the words used are also different. Now, since I have this data, I can analyze everything. I can look at what is used in Friends, in fairy tales, in human relationships, and in movies, and even the eras are different. However, when I looked at all the common denominators, there were 1,400 of them. So, that’s the category.

As the vocabulary increases, it’s natural that words not used here will emerge, which means that the number of dots will decrease. In my opinion, if we expand this category infinitely, it might converge around 12. Therefore, you will need to memorize around 1200 or 1000 words just by brute force; there’s no other way. To memorize them a bit more effectively, what you can do is use English and Korean sentences. Now, look here, we have set it to 1400. The key point is learning. For true beginners, you need to focus on very simple examples, like those suitable for a five-year-old child or elementary school students. If the examples for ten-year-old elementary school students are too difficult, then just look at two. For instance, everyone knows “home,” right? That’s correct, “I’m going home.” You should try this. Then, listen and repeat, like “I going home.” Next, “I love going home.” I enjoy going home after having a fun day at the park.

Next, you need to know that I like going home. For example, you should be familiar with various examples. You know all about these examples, right? Many of them are used in our country's entertainment programs. You need to look at easy examples like this. Then, there are people who say, This is too easy for me. But we shouldn't just skip over those people. If you go further down, there are examples made by Teacher Kelly, which are truly excellent examples. A great leader is not defined by having no weaknesses, but rather by how they are defined. This is something we will later publish as a book of quotes. Additionally, there are examples from Teacher Kim Jae-in, right? Then, what else is there? There are examples from theories of human relationships, and also general quotations from speeches made by various people.

Next, there are classical example sentences, and you all really need to look at these. You really need to look at them. For beginners, what you can do is, there is a quiz for angels. I've already solved it all. For example, you start solving from number one. So, you solve it like this. This should be easy. This is too easy, right? Some of you might think it’s very easy, but if you tackle the easy ones, you can solve 1,400 in just one day. You can solve 14 in just one day. This is a tremendous advantage when you study in this system. You can skim through 1,400 words in just one day. And what should you do while doing that? You need to tackle basic reading comprehension. For example, let's look at an easy sentence about ten times: I received a new teddy bear on my birthday. This example sentence is very...

I can't see, so we made it into a quiz. I got a new bear, right? The local bookstore is the best place for me to relax when I’m stressed. The local bookstore is my favorite place. I need to solve all of these. My friend and I like to hang out together. So, I really need to tackle these 14 questions. I have some willpower; for those who do, there’s reading comprehension material here. Then, we should also try intermediate reading comprehension. What’s in intermediate reading comprehension? The difficulty level is higher. You need to mix two things: red paint and blue paint. What happens if you mix them? It would look pretty, right? The difficulty level is already there. Don’t touch the hot stove; it’s dangerous. You need to try all of this. How many times should I do this? Then...

I can't help but mention that advanced reading is quite challenging. Today is a sunny day, and if I were to use something else, it might sound a bit awkward. Using sunny campaign would be awkward too, right? There’s no interpretation for that. Don't Live Without seems fitting, doesn't it? People need to be kind to each other to make the world a better place. I can't emphasize enough how important this is. Instead, since the 14 points are crucial, everyone should try to solve the quiz. Ultimately, practicing such lengthy compositions would be very beneficial. Life is truly a grand collection of experiences. However, you don’t have to be a complete beginner to engage with it. Life is B, you could say. I’ll write that down: Life is like B, right? Life is grand. Are you sure about your decisions? That would be appropriate. Are you sure about your decision? or Are you confident in your decision? would work too. If you manage this, tackling 1400 would be a piece of cake. But for complete beginners, it's important to consider your thoughts.

Let's try this. Look here, everyone. If you are an elementary school student, our elementary school students in our country are doing really well, right? Moreover, the sentences learned in elementary school are harder than you might think. There is already a significant difference compared to a five-year-old child. She did a great job on her art project and received praise from her teacher. Many people might understand this interpretation, but if we filter it down, it means that she did an excellent job on her art project and was praised by her teacher. For example, in our country, there might be around 30% to 40% of people who can read this level of text. However, I believe that only about 3% to 4% can express themselves at that same level; it’s probably less than 1%. So, it’s really important to fully grasp those 1,400 words. It’s truly essential. So, looking back, we now understand the importance of those 1,400 words, right everyone?

Everyone, look at this. I showed this on my English YouTube channel last time, and it has gained 1.19 million views abroad. I watched it too, and the content is really good. It's about life advice from a 103-year-old grandmother. Here, when you memorize 1,400 words, you can see the coverage of the total words presented, which is 95%. So, with 2,000 words, even if you increase by 600 words, it doesn't grow that much in percentage. For example, when it comes to Obama's speeches, with 1,400 words, the coverage is 90%, specifically 89.3%. For offline free speeches, with 1,400 words, the coverage is 88.2%. Basically, no one is avoiding these words. Now, this is a difficult article; it's a Jensen article, and since the article itself is very long, the percentage decreases because it's such a lengthy piece. The coverage here is 76%. That's impressive! So, starting with memorizing 1,400 words is the first step.

You can study by solving that quiz with English independent words without any pressure. The second point is still about vocabulary. You need to memorize up to 3,000 words to truly become a beginner in English. Why is knowing 3,000 words important? It's not just me saying this; Chris Lonsdale, a real linguist who has garnered over 34 million views on TED, stated that knowing 3,000 words allows you to communicate effectively. This is because frequency follows certain laws. Knowing these words means you can say you understand the language. This is a crucial point. However, the fact is that 3,000 words are really just the basics. After that, it's about basic conversation and speaking skills. To watch movies, dramas, and news, honestly, 3,000 words are hardly enough.

It's lacking, but for beginners, it's really the end. Beginners, first of all, we have to go through stages, right? Knowing 3,000 words is very important. And those 3,000 words, as I mentioned earlier, are the independent vocabulary in English. We've created a spin-off to make it fun for beginners to study, which is the English Independent Vocabulary 3,000 word list. So, English Independent Vocabulary 3,000 is the number one vocabulary list among existing vocabulary lists for beginners. I've explained this several times. There are famous vocabulary lists available in the market, and each has its advantages. I'm sure there are benefits I don't know about, and since they were created by expert teachers, there must be many useful points. But let's look at the facts. The order in which to memorize these words...

What statistical basis does the order have? In my opinion, the probability that there is no basis at all is very high. But we are not just following any order; each sequence is significant. We are following exactly what Chris Lonsdale mentioned earlier. What is the sample? It's the work that received the Newberry and Carnegie awards. Here, we only have meanings; in a general vocabulary book, we provide explanations for the words. The explanations are immense. This is truly the work of Teacher Jujiwoo, a master of comprehension. He has a deep understanding of words, having studied both Greek and Latin, and he has provided these explanations. Moreover, in most cases, there is only one example sentence, and often there are none at all. We, however, have perfect example sentences—at least two for each word. Additionally, there are illustrations and a group chat as well. So, if you take this, you would have extracted 3,000 entries.

What is 3,000? Chris Ronsdale, a linguist, mentioned that if you search for this, you'll find it. How to learn in 6 months? You can watch this video too. It's not something I just made up. This kind of information has been around for 10 years, and there should be solutions like this, right? That's where our English independent vocabulary comes in—3,000 independent English words. 

Next, the third stage is that you have memorized a certain number of words. Just memorizing more words from here won’t necessarily improve your English skills significantly; there will be some improvement, but the efficiency decreases. Now, understanding the context and structure of English is necessary. This isn't really for speaking; it’s purely for listening purposes, just to understand what English is. You don’t have to be able to express it verbally. You must definitely listen to Kim Jae-hwa's English conversation class and the phrasal verbs pack. So, I think this is crazy.

It's a book, but studying alone has clear limitations. Since this is a language, I can say quite dramatically that you don't even have to buy the book. Just take online lectures. Of course, having the book is necessary because you'll need to take notes while listening to the lectures. However, if you are really tight on money and need to save even a thousand won, I recommend giving up the book and instead watching the online lectures. In doing so, create your own notes. This is something I truly recommend with all my heart. Let me show you something. I have prepared it perfectly. I will play it at 1.5 times the speed, so please watch until the end. Using the verb use to imply necessity: I could really use a cup of coffee. So, hello everyone! Today is Day 44 of our learning. Today, we will talk about using the verb use to imply necessity.

As you can see on the screen, I could really use a cup of coffee is written there. What does it mean? If we translate it literally, it means I could use a cup of coffee. So, today we need a strong explanation about the pattern. I could really use can be simplified to I could use something or I could really use something. When is this expression used? While it is correct to say that something is needed, if you want to express a direct need, you should use I need. For example, I need your help or I need to drink a cup of coffee. That's right. However, this expression is a bit different; it implies a conditional situation. It means that if I could have a cup of coffee, I would need it right now. So, when you want to express that you need something, you say I could really use something. In this case, use doesn't literally mean to use something, but rather has a unique meaning of needing it. Now, let me show you various examples to illustrate this further. So, take a look, everyone. For example...

You all have been working for three hours straight. Ah, I really need to take a short break now. At times like this, how do you express that? Especially when you want to say something directly to your team leader, you might say, I want to take a break. That's quite straightforward, right? You might say, Team leader, I really think I need a break. At that moment, you could say, I could really use a break. Why? Because it means, If I could, I would like to take a break right now. So, the meaning is definitely correct, but it's a bit indirect and more polite. It's a really nice way to put it. You could also say something like this: Everyone, I've been sitting here filming for about five hours. Ah, it would be great to get a massage right now. You express it as needing a massage, but instead, you say, I would really like to get a massage. Then, you would say, I...

I could really use a drink right now, and my throat is so dry. I've been lecturing continuously, so how can I express this? It would be perfect if I could have a drink. In situations like this, we say, I could really use some. For example, if I were to ask the producer who's filming in front of me, Excuse me, could you get me some water? I would say, Could you get me some water? If I were to be rude, I might say, I need some water. But people don’t usually speak like that. Instead, I would express, Oh, I would really love a glass of water right now; I'm so thirsty. In this case, saying I could really is very effective. And in a situation where we need to film quickly, I might say, Excuse me, could you please...

I really wish I could take a break and have a cigarette right now. You know, when you feel that way, I could really use a cigarette right now. Let's see how that feels. Also, when you’re creating your first presentation at work, it can be tough. You might not do it well, and you don't want to seem like a beginner asking your team leader for help because that would feel childish. So, it can be overwhelming to figure things out on your own. It would be great if someone could help me. In that case, you could say, I could really use your help. 

For example, if a woman is working in a warehouse, she might find it physically challenging. While she’s trying to lift boxes, she might think, “It’s really tough. It would be great if someone could help me.” In that moment, she could express it as, I could really use some help. This is different from just saying, Can you help me? because Can you help me? directly asks for assistance. However, if you’re feeling overwhelmed, it’s more about expressing the need for help in a less direct way.

It's about giving the nuance that you would like someone to come closer. How does that sound? Are you feeling a bit closer? Now, this raises the question of whether this is only used when the subject is a person. In this case, it's all about people. Look at this: I could really use some caffeine. This means that I might be feeling low on energy or that my blood sugar is dropping, and I could really use a cup of coffee. It's like saying, I need a cup of coffee. 

The most impressive moment for me was when, during a project I worked on, our project director, who was a foreigner, opened the door and said, We could use John. John is the name of a consultant. What does this mean? It means that we need John. Think about it: we can use John in this situation. The project manager, Mr. John S., is actually Korean.

There was a situation where the executives were feeling a bit uneasy due to safety issues. It seems that things were a bit delayed. However, the American consultant from Scotland was well aware of the situation. So, the discussion was about needing a solution, and it was precisely stated that they wanted to bring in that solution. In such situations, this kind of practical learning is much more impactful than theoretical knowledge. I hope my explanation helps in understanding how they use could in such contexts. 

Now, when the subject is an object, this expression is often used. If you pay close attention, you'll see examples. It’s a fun expression. I once went eight months without washing my car, and while looking at my dirty car, either I or someone next to me would say, My car could really use a good washing.

My car is really dirty right now. I think I need to wash it properly. This is a subtle way of explaining the meaning of need. It's also commonly used when talking about food. I was thinking about what kind of food item would be good to show. Ah, this will work! Look at this ice cream. This ice cream could really use some chocolate syrup, right? 

Imagine you go to a place like Baskin-Robbins and order an ice cream, and when it arrives, you start eating it but feel like something is missing. You casually mention to your friend, This ice cream would be perfect with some chocolate syrup; it feels a bit lacking. This implies that there's a need for it. In fact, you could say that not only to your friend but also to the staff at Baskin-Robbins. 

There's one more really good example I'd like to show you, related to true passion.

It's really amazing. I know my English could really use some work. I can hear people saying that. Many people think, Oh, I know my English still needs some practice, and that sounds very natural. Of course, we still feel uncomfortable with English because we can't overcome certain barriers. No matter how much we practice, when it comes down to it, I know I need to practice my English; that phrase tends to come out. However, that expression is a bit more self-critical, and what's important is that English itself is significant. So, the subject has to be English. It's the same with the ice cream example. If you say, I need this ice cream, it sounds like you have to add something, which can come off as quite rude. So, when I say, My English could really use some work, the focus is on the need for practice. But you have to be careful when using this phrase with others.

It can become quite difficult; it sounds rude. If someone says, Your English could really use some work, I think that would make me feel really bad. So, I'm asking you to use this when talking about yourself. Now, when the team leader or manager looks at the presentation materials created by the deputy, they might say, It would be great if we could add some more pictures to the presentation. In such cases, we would say, Your presentation could really use some pictures. Does that sound like native-level English? What do you think? Right? Your presentation could really use some pictures, and then we might add, to make it more interesting. We would say, That would make it more fun. However, as Koreans, we tend to just say, You need to... But the important thing is that I want to share almost all of my experiences with you regarding the presentation materials. Therefore, I believe you should practice throwing out these situations, even if you're not native speakers. So, if that’s the case…

It seems to be quite helpful. And here, if you take a look, there's another interesting expression. It's something said in a playground or by a mother. For example, a mother might say to her six-year-old daughter, I think you could use a friend. Go and talk to someone. That's native English. The last sentence was, My French is still lacking, so I need to practice a bit more. How about we try an example? Everyone, I'm currently listening to House of Cards, the hit Netflix series about the president. Watching it again, I realize that the more you know, the more you can understand. In that show, the main couple says, I could use your help, which I remember from before when I didn’t understand it at all.

I heard it, and honestly, I didn't really understand what was being said next. Right? So, you really should all listen to Teacher Kim Jae-hyun's online lectures, even those who aren't interested in English. This way, you can develop an English way of thinking and an understanding of English context. I truly feel lucky to have met Teacher Kim Ji-hyun because I studied really hard, but I didn't know the context and the way of thinking in English, so I was stuck with a half-baked understanding of English. That's why I'm hoping that Teacher Kim Jung will continue to record five or six more online lectures. Now, the thing is, what our people really struggle with is that in order to improve listening skills, reading comprehension is necessary. Can you really say that you have no reading comprehension? No, everyone in our country is capable of reading comprehension. So, reading comprehension is fine, but listening skills...

There are people who talk as if reading comprehension is a perfect score, when in reality, it's only a failing score. Reading comprehension is important, and reading speed is also crucial. For example, here's a simple sentence: There is a pile of books on the table. Many people might not know what this means. In my opinion, There is a pile of books on the table means that there are books stacked up like a mountain on the table. Right? It means that books are piled up on the table. Now let's look at another example: Amy piled up the dishes in the sink. What does that mean? It means that Amy has stacked a lot of dishes in the sink. Right? This could also be a difficult sentence for beginners. However, all of these words are within a vocabulary of 1,400 words.

I'm going to start now. This is based on a fairy tale, and I barely passed my exam, right? This needs to happen really quickly. And could other dark sounds barely be seen in the darkness? You could hardly see them, right? So, really, everyone, we need to do this slowly, but listening cannot be slow; it has to be quick. For example, I captured something that I will use later. If we take a break, we also have to keep the words in mind. For instance, you know that there are words that you might not understand, but can they be interpreted? It's difficult. I captured this because I couldn't do it. So, for that child to be lived, here live means being in a foster care situation, and to be placed with another family, certain conditions need to be met. There should be a separation of status. Then, what else? Here, in the past...

제가 보여 드린 건데, I don't want you to feel like you have to hold back. 여러분, 실제로 말할 때 굉장히 빨리 말합니다. 네가 이렇게 느끼는 걸 바라지 않아. 이건 구동 사라서 이따가 뒤에 나오는 건데, 이렇게 억누르고 참는 거예요. But that's all in the past. 모든 일이 이제 과거죠. 영어 회화를 배우면서 이제 알게 된 거예요. 나는 닥터한테 결혼을 했으니까, 여러분 이게 해석이 안 되죠. 듣기는 될 수가 없어요. 듣기는 될 방법이 없어요. 이게 무조건 해석이 돼야 돼요. 근데 이게 생각보다 연습을 많이 해본 적이 없기 때문이에요. 연습 많이 하시죠? 금방 됩니다. 의외로 금방 돼요. 이제 5단계는 5,000 단어로 다시 넘어가야 돼요. 단어를 조금 더 올려야 돼요. 제가 여기서 정리해 드릴게요. 말하기만 3,000 단어 플러스 고유명사.

Plus, even if you only have vocabulary related to your surroundings, you can speak, but you can't listen. You need to know about 5,000 words. For example, when it comes to life advice, if you look at 5,000 words, how do you feel about it? It's 98.7%. Yes, that's right, 98.7%. Ted even gets up to 99%. Ted is really great; he has around 7,000 words and scores 99%. If you memorize 5,000 words, you can actually handle these topics quite easily, and there will hardly be any unfamiliar words. So, I brought some evidence. The reason I can present this is that I have statistically researched it diligently for 10 years, and I've been in a study group chat for 3 years. I've been studying with a few hundred people in that chat for 3 years. After I shared this in our chat, I asked everyone to share their understanding and impressions.

Are you always studying hard? You understand about 90%. With that, phrasal verbs and noun clauses seem to be difficult to grasp. This will come up later, and it gives me chills. I memorized 5,000 phrasal verbs, so now I need to move on to phrasal verbs. Oh, this gives me chills; I didn't realize it connected that much. Meanwhile, my grandmother talks about number 5, and it’s really impressive. It’s truly moving. Our diligent Junyoung understands about 85%. My grandmother speaks slowly, but the interviewer speaks quickly, so I understand about 60%. Junyoung also memorized some expressions. Chang understands about 85%, and Yeongsun understands about 90%. I noted down 5L here. There are so many good interviews in the English-speaking world, everyone. There are no Korean subtitles, right? There are no Korean subtitles. Just a little bit of English will do.

Now, it's great to directly watch good content. The content is good, and it also serves as a life lesson, which is wonderful, right? I've memorized 5,000 words. Now I need to move on to phrasal verbs. So, we have Teacher Kim Jae-hoon, who teaches phrasal verbs. You all must listen to Teacher Kim Jae-hyun's lecture on phrasal verbs as well. When I looked back at my past, I realized that phrasal verbs just keep coming up, like hold back, miss out, look up, and live out. This isn't about real estate; I just recorded it to show you. Miss out and live out – all of these explanations are truly precious. Teacher Kim Ji's book on phrasal verbs is really a masterpiece. So, listen to English conversation first before diving into phrasal verbs. Don't start with phrasal verbs; listen to English conversation first.

중간중간에 구동사 설명이 많이 나와요. '피결 아웃' 같은 거는 한 거의 데이원 하나로 설명해 주세요. 세 강을 통해서. 그래서 정말로 이 영어 회화 배과 구동사 수업은 진짜 모두가 들으셔야 돼요. 그다음 이제 7단계 구동사를 넘었으면 이제 7,000 단어까지 오면은 우리나라에서는 진짜 상위권이죠. 그래서 7,000 단어 정도 알면 교환학생 이런 거 다 유학 갈 수 있어요. 유학 전혀 문제 없어. 7,000 단어 정도 알면은, 그래서 7,000 단어 여러분 진짜 이건 제가 하면서 우리 그 영어 독립 단어 앞에서 아까 제가 보여드렸잖아요. 제가 만들었지만 약간 미친 시스템이에요. 그냥 넘사벽이에요. 제가 최근에 '인스턴트 패밀리'라는 걸 이제 자막 없이 보고 공부하고 있어요. 그래서 이걸 보는데 아까 '블랙'이라는 건데 제가 이거 아리까리 하더라고요. 아리까리 해서 제가 아니나 다를까 보니까 북마크를 찍어 놓은 거. 

There are many explanations of phrasal verbs throughout. Please explain something like figure out in almost a Day One manner. Through three

In the past, I didn’t know much about it. It was quite devastating. It’s like this: if you don’t know the context, you won’t be able to interpret it. However, given the context, it might be somewhat understandable now. Living in a miserable situation, these friends are suffering within the foster care system. An interesting point is that there is a mark here, indicating that all of it is included in Ted. So, it means that everything is within 7,000 items. You know seven of them, right? Generally, when you watch something with English subtitles, the chance of escaping from it is less than 5%. That 5% is truly significant. The reason I mention this is that we have never analyzed this movie before. Our data is quite universal, so of course, what we’ve shared should be covered.

되는 거예요. 아니나다를까, 다 돼요. 웬만해서는 이제 단계 8단계가 뭐냐면, 0자막 여러분들이 뭘 보기 시작하는 거예요. 영 자막으로 자꾸 보셔야 돼요. 그러니까 듣기, 즉 들으면서 독해하는 거죠. 그러면서 이제 영 자막으로 여러분들이 왜냐면 영 자막이 뭐예요? 영 자막이 나왔을 때 한글 자막이 아니라, 그거를 그 순간에 독해를 못해내면 어때요? 듣기론 죽어도 안 되는 거예요. 안 됩니다. 그러니까 0 자막이 지나갈 때 그게 딱 주어진 시간 안에 해석이 돼야 되는 거예요. 여러분, 진짜 유튜브는 너무 좋은 게 많아요. 예를 들면, 저 이 마그네트 미디어, 이거 되게 제가 좋아하는 유튜브거든요. 너무 재밌어요. 한 시간 동안 진짜 꿀잼이에요. 꿀잼, 막 30분짜리 꿀잼이에요. 꿀잼. 그다음에 예를 들면, 제가 영영 채널을 되게 영어 채널들을 굉장히.

I follow a lot of channels, but this one is just my personal favorite. It has about 200,000 subscribers. The channel is called Gareth's Adventure. The host is a really young guy; he must be a teenager. He pretends to be an adventurer and goes on solo trips across the Pacific Ocean. He narrates his experiences and films the whole process. For example, when you look at the automatic subtitles, it says, this with intention on my foot, which indicates something has been prepared. So I thought I would stay here a little longer. Nowadays, the automatic subtitles are so good that there has never been a better time to study English. You can watch shows with English subtitles on platforms like Netflix and Coupang Play. There are so many things available on YouTube with English subtitles as well. You really have a lot of options. And then, for the ninth step, you shouldn't just watch; you should also enjoy it.

Watching about 50 movies is not the same as watching a series. Many episodes are around 20 to 30 minutes long, while movies are typically two hours. So, watching about 50 movies is equivalent to that amount of series. Nowadays, with tools like Chappie, you can simply capture and insert subtitles. I'm not sure if it works in the free version, but if it doesn't, you can always type it out. I've organized everything this way while watching. Now, when I watch, I still don't catch everything 100%, but originally I could only understand about 60%. Now that I've organized and understood the content, I can catch about 95%. The words I've memorized stick with me longer because there's context. After organizing the episodes, what I do is watch them again without subtitles whenever I have the chance. It's all about continuously training my ears.

Here I am. I’m right here. Next, I need to memorize ten thousand words. Honestly, if I memorize ten thousand words, or even just two to three thousand words, I will have completed my research. For someone who wasn’t born in the United States, you can consider that I already know a lot. I am presenting this very clearly to you all. Ten thousand, because Jensen's article is really long, but this is already 99% done. If you consider the eight thousand words, that’s already 99%. Even just seven thousand words is a really challenging topic, but it’s all 99%. It’s just done. Once I reach ten thousand, it’s finished. So I’m aiming for twelve thousand words, and we will finally release the fourteen thousand words version. That’s the end. So, I’m currently focusing on those twelve thousand words. By the way, when Minji was here, she looked at seven hundred words and managed to review them all during a holiday, and after about a week, she addressed all the issues.

It's not about memorizing; it's about skimming. So, I realize that I know about 5,000 to 6,000 words. After taking a quiz like this, it helps me check my knowledge. Memorizing in this way makes retention longer. There is a significant difference in efficiency between using a system and just studying from a book. To summarize, first, learn 1,400 words, then 3,000 words. After that, you should focus on teacher Kim Ji-hyun's online lectures to improve your reading speed. Next, you need to memorize around 5,000 words again, and you must attend the phrasal verbs lectures. After that, aim for 7,000 words. Then, watch your favorite shows with English subtitles, and finally, organize about 50 of your favorite movies. If you work hard on this, you can accomplish it in one to two years. It's surprising how many people who have been to the U.S. can't understand movies at all. When you go to the U.S., you'll find that many people struggle to understand American dramas.

Can I see everything? You can't? If you do it this way, you're completely ready to speak. Because I can start to hear, and then, first of all, what is it that you are talking about? You want to have a conversation, right? If you can't understand what the other person is saying, you can't have a conversation. It feels overwhelming. But once you can hear completely, I can hear almost 999% of your session. Because I speak very slowly, you can hear about 80% of a movie, and everyday conversation is almost 100% comprehensible. I've condensed something I've researched for a long time, and there may be some shortcomings. I will update those later. You can really do it too. If you just try hard for a year or two, you will definitely succeed. Do you understand? So, I recommend Kim Jae-woo's lectures and English listening practice.

I have already proven that even if you only focus on those two aspects, you can achieve great results. I want more people to enjoy those benefits. So, that's it for today, and I will come back with more valuable content next time. See you again!
