Why can't I use English expressions I memorize in real life?

Many English learners worry that “even though I memorize expressions, they don’t come to mind when I speak.”
If you look closely, you'll find that many people try to use advanced expressions that don't fit their level, or struggle with expressions that are not actually used frequently.
"10 Minutes of English Study a Day That Will Make You Memorize It Yourself" is an English study book tailored to the level of Koreans, developed by the author over many years of consistent research.
The author, who has struggled with English throughout his school years and knows better than anyone the frustrations of English learners, has carefully selected practical expressions so that if you spend about 10 minutes a day studying, you will be able to memorize English expressions and use them right away in real-life conversations.
So how can we memorize certain English expressions to increase the effectiveness of our English studies?

1.
Let's memorize common, everyday expressions called "verb phrases."

How do you say 'Oh, I made a mistake' in English?

my mistake, my mistake (my mistake, my mistake) × → The bad habit of communicating only with words
I mistook (I made a mistake) × → An incorrect expression that is translated directly from Korean.
I made a mistake (I made a mistake) ○ → 'make a mistake'

English sentences that can be easily made if you know make a mistake as a group of verb phrases
am.
If you know these expressions as verb phrases, you don't have to worry about speaking in Konglish because you just need to attach them appropriately after the subject.


Stretching → Do stretching
diet → go on a diet
Shopping → Go shopping
Lead role → play the lead role
Network → Expand my network
Part-time job → Work part-time

In Korean, it is the same 'do', but in English, we use different verbs depending on the noun, such as 'do' for stretching and 'do' for dieting.
Now, let's stop just memorizing words and start memorizing 'verb phrases'.
This book mainly contains real-life verb phrase expressions so that you can immediately use the expressions you have learned in sentences in real life.

2.
Let's memorize 'familiar expressions'.


How do you say in English, “I like a family man” or “I find goal-oriented people attractive”?

I like a family man.
→ I like a family-oriented guy.
I find goal-oriented people attractive.
→ I think goal-oriented people are attractive.

It may seem difficult at first, but if you look closely, it is a combination of words that Koreans frequently use, like Konglish.
It is a simple pattern that requires only adding (-oriented) to family and goal.
Since it is a combination of easy words, if you know them, it will come to mind easily when you speak.
In this way, we have captured and included practical expressions that are easy to remember by connecting existing familiar words.

3.
Memorize everyday expressions by topic.

Work life, health management, self-development, childcare, shopping… … .
We've compiled all the topics that frequently come up in conversation in everyday life, so you can choose the topic that interests you and start conquering it.
You can study them in order, but it would be a good idea to start with topics related to your daily life and apply them directly to your real life.
The most effective way to practice speaking is to select expressions that are useful to you, put them into sentences, and speak them in your own way, or to 'personalize' the expressions through conversation practice with others.

4.
Utilizing all five senses, seamless repetition learning

Understanding → Writing → Test → Writing → Conversation

What happens if you only understand English expressions, without actually listening to them or writing them down? The information you learn will only remain in your short-term memory for a short time before fading away.
For learners studying speaking, active learning is essential, including writing sentences, listening, and recalling them in context.
You can only catch minor mistakes by writing it yourself and correcting it.
"10 Minutes of English Study a Day That Will Make You Memorize Themselves" is structured in a workbook format so that you can pick up a pen and scribble down words, listen to them, and write them down.
When you study using the method presented in the book, you will repeat each expression at least three times with your eyes, ears, and hands.
Additionally, we provide various media learning materials, such as listening to native speaker audio through podcasts and direct lecture videos by the author through YouTube channels, to encourage repeated repetition.
English is repetition.
Now all you have to do is believe and follow this book for 60 days.
