In September 2020, I moved to a job at a foreign company.

Meetings with corporate headquarters about our products were held in English every other week, and they were a major challenge for me.

So, exactly 10 years since college graduation, I resumed my English studies.

As I was weighing different study methods, I thought EBSโs โ์ ํธ์โ would be just the thing because I needed to improve my speaking skills immediately.

Iโve been listening to the show continuously using the Bandi app, during my commute and breaks at work.

I decided to memorize all the passages from the study material until I could never forget them.

At work, I practiced by writing them down on paper.

Itโs been about three years since then.

I even surprised myself because my memorization speed has improved dramatically.

The sense of accomplishment I get from achieving something has become a source of energy that keeps me studying English diligently.
