[Music] [Music] I know many of you are frustrated because you can't speak English. I used to be like that too. It's because us smart Koreans still can't speak English fluently. [Music] Hello everyone, I'm Young Crit, an English teacher. I am a native Korean born and raised in Korea. I currently run a YouTube channel with 230,000 subscribers for English learning and I am also an author of English learning materials. Through my language acquisition method, I can now speak three languages including English and Japanese. Based on this, after teaching practical English conversation to thousands of students over the past few years, I have one major observation that I would like to share in today's video. What really surprised me is that many Koreans think of themselves as absolute beginners, but in reality, there are many cases where this is not true. This may be due to the humility of us Koreans, but in fact,

Regardless of age, many people are already surprisingly knowledgeable in basic conversations and overflowing with sales-related knowledge. I was truly amazed to find out that many people already know about business-related knowledge when I first started learning English several years ago. Back then, I didn't even know what an adjective was. However, on the contrary, many people surprisingly know quite a lot of basic words. Although not perfect, they can understand alphabet pronunciations and read almost perfectly. Therefore, it can be said that our frustration is gradually increasing. That person doesn't seem to know English grammar better than me and doesn't seem to know many English words, but how can they express themselves so purely in English? It makes me wonder where all the English I've learned so far is used. I also had the same feelings, so I can really empathize.

I think that person must have lived abroad for a long time because they have a lot of money, so they go to study abroad for several years. Many people start studying proper conversation like a symphony and then quit before even starting. However, when I changed the instructions for those students who used to do that, even adults who had only studied in Korea were able to speak in English. I didn't do anything extraordinary, I just changed one perception. This is not just something I'm saying, it's a method that has been verified globally over a long period through numerous cases and studies, so please listen carefully. I am confident that by changing your perception of English completely, you will be able to improve. I'm sure everyone here would agree that English is not about memorization, right?

However, English is not about understanding, it's about acquisition. Or you might ask, What does that mean? It's okay. I had the same reaction at first. Have you heard a lot about creating a sales brain? I thought it was just a gimmick too. Did you know that there have been scientific experiments and research done on this? Listen carefully. In the human brain, there are parts responsible for episodic and conscious knowledge, governing narrative memory, and parts responsible for habitual and unconscious procedural memory. What does this mean? Episodic knowledge refers to knowledge that I can consciously recall, such as the capital of Cambodia, English grammar, and mathematical formulas. Habitual knowledge refers to things I can do unconsciously, like typing, riding a bicycle, driving.

Basically, the same thing can be said to correspond to this side of the brain, which is the area of ​​all the skills you can think of. Let's think about it. Playing the drum, writing beautifully, playing table tennis, and tumbling are all skills that can be habitually acquired. What's really fascinating is that when we speak, our brains were examined, and it was found that when we speak in our native language, in other words, Korean, the brain responsible for habitual and unconscious procedural memory, like typing, is activated. However, when speaking in a foreign language like English, it was found that the brain uses the area that processes mathematical formulas, not this part of the brain. The part of the brain that handles narrative memory is activated. We have learned English-related knowledge, and in our minds, we change this from Korean to English, check for any grammar mistakes, and verbally express it. This is the series of processes.

It is said to have occurred in the area of the brain responsible for storing descriptive memories in the same way that math formulas are processed. Therefore, even if we already know something personally in our heads, when we try to express it verbally, our speech gets stuck and our fluency decreases. Isn't it natural? Even if you are a well-functioning adult, you need to do that to speak in English, right? That was my second question that I had. Of course, it is not impossible for well-functioning adults to speak unconsciously when speaking a foreign language. However, scientifically, it is possible to change the brain regions used for this. When we speak in English, we can speak more unconsciously and spontaneously by using the brain regions used for our native language. It was possible to change the brain regions in just 12 weeks.

An acquisition has occurred. Now, you must be curious about the method. The answer is simple repetitive speaking practice. In reality, targeting Koreans of various age groups without any foundation in English, they were given sentences in their field of interest to repeat aloud for practice. In just 12 weeks, they became capable of basic conversations with native speakers. Surprisingly, the brain areas used when they speak English shifted from declarative memory to procedural memory. In other words, through intensive repetitive speaking practice, they were able to speak English using the brain areas used for speaking Korean. Even adults who have already grown up in Korea. So, in a way, it's quite absurdly simple to speak in English. I, too, became fluent in a short period with native speakers using this method, and now I am very fluent. I also learned Japanese in the same way.

There were results, and not only for me but also for many students who were with me, the same effect could be observed. But what's surprising is that it's been over 10 years since the documentary was aired. Yet, why do Koreans still feel a strong resistance and can't say a word in English when they try to speak it? Here, there are three reasons discovered by Engcrit. If you just change these, that's all you need to do. Please check if any of these apply to you as well. The first one is being addicted to the feeling of I can't. The second one is being discouraged by the thought of I can't do it. The third one is finding it too difficult to find sentences suitable for my level that I can practice repeatedly. Now, shall we start with the first one? The first one, being addicted to the feeling of I can't. What does this mean? Nowadays, there are really great English lessons available, and we are provided with this kind of English.

When we watch lectures, we come across new aspects that we didn't know before, such as new sentences or grammar. In these situations, we learn sentences like, Oh, this is how you write this, and feel good about understanding it now. It can make us feel proud and accomplished when we learn like this. However, it's not that we have truly learned it. At least, from the perspective of procedural memory, it's just a matter of acquiring fragmented new knowledge. It's just a matter of accumulating another narrative memory. Simply watching English lectures without actively engaging in procedural memory needed for spontaneous English speaking makes it impossible to do so. We know that we need to practice speaking out loud, but getting addicted to this fake sense of accomplishment by simply watching English lectures continuously was the first issue. The second one is being overwhelmed by the thought that I can't do it.

Just a few years ago, when I first started learning English, there weren't as many English contents available as there are now. Paradoxically, it was actually an advantage for me compared to you all. Because even when I was an English learner, I never once thought that I couldn't speak English. These days, there are so many contents that instill thoughts like adults can never learn English or you'll fail if you practice speaking English, or you have to start over from the beginning. There are just too many contents that implant thoughts of impossibility. We need to uproot these thoughts of impossibility from the start. It's not just about infinite positivity, but also about building high self-esteem and having the belief that you can do it, which in turn enhances the effectiveness of language learning based on various cases and theories.

It's about the method. It's very difficult to find sentences that I can concentrate on and practice repeatedly at my level. According to research, it has been verified that even simple listening improves foreign language skills. However, there is one crucial condition here: I need to listen to materials that I can understand. In actual research, there was a significant difference in fluency between Group A, who listened to materials that were not at their level for a long time, and Group B, who did the opposite. Group A's foreign language skills hardly improved, while Group B showed significant progress. Therefore, regardless of the material, after practicing with materials suitable for my level, once I reach a level of understanding, listening should follow. The problem is that finding materials that are just right for my level is extremely challenging.

Even if it's difficult and rare, most sentences are not systematically structured and are simply tied to expression. However, if you mindlessly repeat and practice these sentences, you will inevitably get tired in the middle and give up. So, how did you all feel? Were there any specific issues? Don't worry. If we just address these three issues, it will be fine. Instead of just watching the lecture, you should be able to listen, follow, repeat, and practice positively towards your goal with a joyful heart. If you can focus on practicing high-quality everyday English sentences that you can understand at your level through step-by-step concentrated repetition, just like riding a bike, typing, drawing, or singing, humans are designed to acquire any skill. Just like that, anyone can acquire language skills. That's why when I speak in English now.

Just like how I can do it unconsciously and habitually as if moving my hands, you can do it too. Even if you search on YouTube, there are many high-quality lectures by excellent teachers. If you practice repetition and pronunciation according to your level, you can also experience what Beatwin offers. However, there was always a regret that all stages were not gathered in one channel. So, I decided to make a huge investment this time to create it myself. I will explain only the essence of English theory and provide systematic training programs through Gilbut Publishing for pronunciation practice, so that we can all do it together. From complete beginners who don't know English to intermediate levels, you will be able to express what you want in English freely with sentences.

I have prepared 1,000 everyday conversation sentences meticulously over the past 2 years, revising them dozens of times. During the 90 days, I filled 5,000 repetitions by looking at 1,000 everyday sentences five times each. A high-quality theoretical explanation video, a repeated pronunciation practice program will be publicly available for free on YouTube. I hope you can feel the joy of learning together, supporting and encouraging each other through the YouTube community. If you wish for neatly organized content in a book while studying, it would be great to have a textbook where you can check the sentences you have practiced. It is not a mandatory requirement, so it is up to you to choose. Well, in the next video, starting from the basics of a movie.

Let's learn together with Yeonclick. Among the topics covered today, what you must take away is believing that I can do it yourself. Even if you don't believe in yourself yet, I believe in your potential and that you can succeed. I also believe, no, I know that you can speak English. Well then, I'll see you in the next video. Thank you. [APPLAUSE]

🙋‍♂️ 영크릿 소개: 한국인이 영어 배우는 데 어려움을 겪는 이유

영크릿은 한국에서 나고 자란 영어 강사이며, 23만 명의 구독자를 보유한 유튜브 채널 운영자이자 영어 학습 자료 저자입니다. 그는 자신의 언어 습득 방법을 통해 영어와 일본어를 포함한 3개 국어를 구사할 수 있게 되었습니다. **수년간의 경험을 바탕으로, 많은 한국인들이 스스로를 영어 초보자라고 생각하지만 실제로는 그렇지 않은 경우가 많다는 것을 발견했습니다.**

🧠 뇌 과학적 접근: 영어 습득의 핵심 원리

영어를 '이해'하는 것이 아니라 '습득'해야 합니다. 뇌에는 서술적 기억과 절차적 기억을 담당하는 부분이 있는데, **외국어를 사용할 때는 서술적 기억 영역이 활성화되어 문법을 확인하고 번역하는 과정을 거치기 때문에 유창성이 떨어집니다.**

**반복적인 말하기 연습을 통해 뇌 영역을 바꿔, 한국어를 사용할 때처럼 무의식적으로 영어를 구사할 수 있습니다.** 12주 만에 뇌 영역 변화가 가능하다는 연구 결과도 있습니다.

🗣️ 반복적인 말하기 연습의 중요성

영어 기초가 없는 한국인들을 대상으로 관심 분야의 문장을 반복적으로 소리 내어 연습시킨 결과, 12주 만에 원어민과의 기본적인 대화가 가능해졌습니다. **뇌 영역 또한 서술적 기억에서 절차적 기억으로 이동했습니다.**

🚫 한국인이 영어 학습에 실패하는 3가지 이유

첫째, **"나는 안 돼"라는 느낌에 중독되는 것입니다.** 강의를 보면서 새로운 지식을 얻는 것에 만족하지만, 실제 말하기 연습을 하지 않아 습득으로 이어지지 않는 경우입니다.

둘째, **"나는 할 수 없어"라는 생각에 압도되는 것입니다.** 너무 많은 콘텐츠가 '어른은 영어를 배울 수 없다'와 같은 부정적인 생각을 심어줍니다. 긍정적인 마음과 자신감을 갖는 것이 중요합니다.

셋째, **자신의 수준에 맞는 반복 연습 문장을 찾기 어렵다는 것입니다.** 이해 가능한 자료를 꾸준히 반복하는 것이 중요하지만, 체계적으로 구성된 자료를 찾기가 어렵습니다.

🚀 해결책: 즐거운 마음으로 반복 연습!

강의를 보는 것에서 그치지 않고, 듣고 따라하며 긍정적인 마음으로 반복 연습해야 합니다. **자신의 수준에 맞는 고품질의 일상 영어 문장을 단계적으로 집중 반복 연습하면 누구나 언어 능력을 습득할 수 있습니다.**

🎁 영크릿의 새로운 프로젝트: 체계적인 영어 학습 프로그램

영크릿은 영어 이론의 핵심을 설명하고, 길벗 출판사를 통해 발음 연습을 위한 체계적인 훈련 프로그램을 제공할 예정입니다. **초보부터 중급 수준까지, 누구나 자유롭게 영어로 표현할 수 있도록 돕는 것이 목표입니다.**

2년간 1,000개의 일상 대화 문장을 꼼꼼하게 준비했으며, 90일 동안 5,000번 반복하는 프로그램을 제공합니다. **고품질 이론 설명 영상과 반복 발음 연습 프로그램은 유튜브에서 무료로 공개될 예정입니다.**

🌟 가장 중요한 것: '나는 할 수 있다'는 믿음

가장 중요한 것은 **"나는 할 수 있다"는 믿음을 갖는 것입니다.** 자신을 믿지 못하더라도 영크릿은 여러분의 잠재력과 성공을 믿습니다.
