Description
Book Introduction
Mentos Publishing has published the "Dictionary of English Patterns in American TV Shows" by gathering patterns that frequently appear in American TV shows, using all of the accumulated American TV know-how.
Patterns that are frequently heard while watching American TV shows, patterns that are frequently noticed while watching English subtitles, and hidden patterns that we may have overlooked without even knowing they were patterns, were forcibly selected from American TV shows like digging up sweet potatoes and pulling out radishes in a field, and were carefully compiled into this book.

I sincerely hope that this book, which has been planned and produced over a long period of time, will be of some help to all those who enjoy American dramas.

Publisher's Review
The Importance of Patterns in English

For those learning English as a foreign language, the importance of patterns cannot be overemphasized.
There is no shortcut to catching up with native speakers who have been practicing listening to English since before they were born.
Like most languages, English uses a limited spelling to create a large number of words, which are then used to create phrases such as idioms and patterns, and these phrases are then used to create sentences.
There was a time when memorizing entire sentences was popular because memorizing words and phrases didn't make you fluent in English.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with memorizing entire sentences, but how can you memorize so many sentences, let alone just one or two?
A slightly smarter way is to memorize common patterns in English.
A pattern is a kind of formula for creating English sentences.
Of course, not all English is spoken in a formal manner, but if you extract and learn frequently used patterns that even native speakers themselves are not aware of, it will be of great help in listening and speaking English.

Mentos Mid Pattern through Accumulated Mid Know-How

As I've said many times, there's no English material as good as American drama.
It's also a good idea to study difficult idioms and fun slang that appear in American English.
Because it is an essential part of understanding and enjoying the mid.
However, if you want to not only enjoy watching American TV shows but also quickly improve your English listening and speaking skills, learning American TV show English patterns is essential.
Mid is not easy.
But, if you want to study English enjoyably, you can't stay away from it.
So, to make it easier and more convenient to access American TV dramas, Mentos has published numerous books related to American TV dramas, including "Catch Up on American TV Drama English in One Breath," "581 American TV Drama English Formulas by Situation," "American TV Drama English Expression Dictionary," and "152 Famous American TV Drama Scenes."
Now, Mentos has finally gathered all of its accumulated know-how and is showcasing to you the patterns that frequently appear in various mids.

A variety of mids that come out nonstop

There was mead 30 years ago, and there will be mead 30 years from now.
Depending on the success of the program, there may be ups and downs, and it may struggle with a lack of material, but it will also continue to evolve and transform in new ways and come back to us.
The wildly popular "The Walking Dead" is a prime example.
Because they created a great human drama that goes beyond a simple zombie movie using zombies, a subject that was thought to be out of fashion.
Also, as many media outlets have mentioned, big stars and famous directors in the film industry are rushing to enter the world of American dramas, giving us more opportunities to watch high-quality American dramas.
That's why "House of Cards," starring Kevin Spacey, is so popular.
Unless you live in the United States, it's probably common knowledge that the next best way to learn English is through TV shows and movies.
Instead of just starting over and over again, and drawing a sad self-portrait of yourself smiling only at the Korean subtitles, if you focus and lay a solid foundation, you will be able to kill two birds with one stone: English and American dramas.

Mid-English Pattern Dictionary

The "Mid-English Pattern Dictionary" was planned and organized in this context.
Patterns that you often hear while watching American TV shows, patterns that you often notice while watching English subtitles, and hidden patterns that you may have overlooked without even realizing they were patterns. These patterns were forcibly selected from American TV shows, like digging up sweet potatoes or pulling out radishes in a field, and were compiled into this book one by one.
Whether you're new to mead, have given up on mead, or are a die-hard fan of mead, organizing and storing it in your head will make it much easier to watch and listen to mead.
I sincerely hope that this book, which has been planned and produced over a long period of time, will be of some help to all those who enjoy American dramas.
