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 EBS’s “μž…νŠΈμ˜“ would be just the thing because I needed to improve my speaking skills immediately.

* be just the thing : λ”± μ ν•©ν•˜λ‹€

* improve one’s speaking skills : λ§ν•˜κΈ° λŠ₯λ ₯을 ν‚€μš°λ‹€

​

I’ve 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.

* write something down on paper : ~을 쒅이에 μ“°λ‹€

​

It’s been about three years since then.

κ·Έλ ‡κ²Œ ν•œ 지 벌써 3λ…„ 정도 ν˜λ €λ‹€.

​

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.
