◆ 새학기, 새로운 시작 - 영어의 기초는 단어 암기입니다. - 새학기에 새롭게 단어 암기부터 시작하세요. ◆ 단어 암기 단순 암기만으로 외운 단어는 시간이 지남에 따라 모두 잊게 된다. 그래서 잊어먹을 만하면 또 암기 그리고 또 암기해서 장기간 기억하기도 한다. 그런데 언어는 단순 암기로 기억해 내는 행위가 아니다. 자신만의 단어가 되려면 그 단어에 대해 생각하는 과정이 축적되어야 한다. 1. 자신의 수준에 맞는 글을 아주 많이 읽어라 - 상상과 추측이 가능한 이야기가 있는 글을 읽어라 - 모르는 단어는 사전을 찾지 말고 뜻을 추측해 보라 - 다독하라 2. 포켓영어단어로 학습하라. - 이미지와 예문으로 단어에 대해 추론하는 시간을 축적한다. - 게임을 통해 단어의 의미를 각인시킨다. - 습득하고자 하는 단어를 등록하여 암기할 수 있다. - 미흡한 단어는 따로 보관하여 암기할 수 있다. ◆ 특징 예전 외국인 한명 만나보지 못하고 발음을 글로 익히다보니 콩글리쉬 발음이 생겼다. 그리고 발음과 단어의 매칭이 안되고 외국인도 알아 듣지 못한다. 최대한 외국인 발음과 비슷한 첨단 TTS로 사용으로 영어듣기도 향상시켜보세요.

All this data is saved in a subfolder under the corresponding file for future use and can be copied for reuse on other devices. 8. Video screen and waveform analysis window can be easily minimized or maximized for convenience. 9. To use mp3 files with txt or srt files, simply use the same filename (e.g., Lesson01.mp3, Lesson01.srt, Lesson01.txt).
