The fear of English, also known as 'English phobia', stems from the fear of making mistakes and being wrong.
When English phobia begins to dominate us, we naturally lose confidence in English.
To avoid making mistakes, they often repeat the same expressions over and over again, and sometimes even avoid speaking English altogether.
Then, your English conversation skills will stagnate.
This is called 'fossilization of language'.
It is a phenomenon in which skills do not improve any further and become fixed in that state.
It all starts with the worry that you might make a mistake in front of other people.

There are patterns to English mistakes!
All English learners make mistakes during the process of learning English.
It's such a natural and obvious phenomenon because English isn't my native language.
Interestingly, English learners often make similar mistakes.
Mistakes often follow a common pattern, from simple grammatical errors to mistakes arising from cultural differences to mistakes stemming from a lack of understanding of English thought processes.
This raises a question:
If there are patterns to mistakes, and if we can guess what mistakes people will make, wouldn't we be able to learn English from them?

English learned through mistakes is never forgotten!
This book is a compilation of the most common English mistakes made by English learners, organized by topic, including stories of English mistakes made by English learners.
We've corrected common mistakes and added English-language and cultural explanations to explain why these mistakes occur.
By learning about common English mistakes, we can understand English expressions and English-speaking culture, which can help us overcome our fear of English.
If you think about it, it's embarrassing when you make mistakes in English, but the English you learn through those mistakes is deeply imprinted in your brain and you won't forget it.

We forbid mistakes.
So I try not to open my mouth unless my English is perfect.
Don't be afraid of making mistakes in English anymore.
If you don't face your mistakes, your English skills will only solidify or regress from where they are now.
Rather than someone who just speaks the English they know out of habit, someone who tries to use even the wrong expressions and learns from it will grow much more in the future.
Youngalnam will help everyone overcome their fear of English and become free from English mistakes.
