μž…νŠΈμ˜ 25.10.20 — Studying English with AI AI둜 μ˜μ–΄ κ³΅λΆ€ν•˜κΈ°

I'm in my 40s, and I've been studying with "μž…νŠΈμ˜" for about six months.

<μž…νŠΈμ˜>으둜 κ³΅λΆ€ν•œ μ§€ 6κ°œμ›” 정도 λ˜λŠ” 40λŒ€μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​

* in one's 40s : 40λŒ€μ˜

* for about six months : μ•½ 6κ°œμ›” λ™μ•ˆ

​

I've started waking up earlier these days, and I was reminded of the EBS English radio shows I used to listen to in my 20s.

μš”μ¦˜ 점점 μ•„μΉ¨μž μ΄ μ—†μ–΄μ§€λ©΄μ„œ, 20λŒ€μ— λ“£λ˜ EBS μ˜μ–΄ λΌλ””μ˜€κ°€ μƒκ°λ‚¬μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​

* wake up earlier : 더 일찍 μΌμ–΄λ‚˜λ‹€

* be reminded of : ~이 μƒκ°λ‚˜λ‹€

​

So I turned the radio on, and "μž…νŠΈμ˜" seemed just right for my level.

κ·Έλž˜μ„œ λΌλ””μ˜€λ₯Ό ν‹€μ—ˆλŠ”λ°, <μž…νŠΈμ˜>이 μ €μ˜ λ ˆλ²¨μ— μ ν•©ν•œ λ“―ν•˜μ—¬

​

* just right for : ~μ—κ²Œ λ”± μ ν•©ν•œ

​

And so, I've been studying diligently.

μ—΄μ‹¬νžˆ 곡뢀 μ€‘μž…λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​

But even after listening to the show, copying the scripts by hand, and memorizing the content, it felt like I forgot everything the moment I turned around.

그런데 방솑을 λ“£κ³ , 필사도 ν•΄ 보고, 암기도 ν•΄ λ΄€μ§€λ§Œ λŒμ•„μ„œλ©΄ μ „λΆ€ κΉŒλ¨ΉλŠ” 것 κ°™μ•˜μŠ΅λ‹ˆλ‹€.

​

* by hand : μ†μœΌλ‘œ 직접

​

Plus, since there wasn't much speaking practice, I started to question if I was really making progress.

​

* start to question : 의문이 생기닀

* make progress : 진척이 μžˆλ‹€

​

That's when I discovered ChatGPT, and it feels like my English studies have really taken off.

​

It corrects my pronunciation when I read the passages aloud, and helps me dive deeper into vocabulary I don't know.

Replacing speaking practice with an Al tutor is something I'd recommend for introverts.

​

This only made things worse.

For eight days, all I could think about was how much I wanted to go back to Korea.

​

When the trip finally ended and I made it back home, my eyes welled up.

​

* make it back home : λ¬΄μ‚¬νžˆ κ·€κ°€ν•˜λ‹€

​

I arrived early in the morning, and my husband and kids came out, rubbing their eyes.

They smiled as they welcomed me back.

​

* welcome someone back : (~을) 볡귀λ₯Ό ν™˜μ˜ν•˜λ‹€

I thought that this must be heaven, and my family are the angels.

​

I've been so much more grateful for everyday life ever since that business trip, and I've started keeping a gratitude journal.
