Index

All the English expressions you need to say "I" - from trivial habits to metaphysical thoughts.

1. A shortcut to learning English easily: first-person English expressions

“My cell phone contract is over, but I’m still using it.” vs.
“Diplomatic tensions between the two countries are increasing.”
Which of these two sentences do you think is easier to learn and more frequently used? Obviously, the first one.
Since it's a topic closely related to daily life, even if the words are a little difficult, I just accept it.
English should start with expressions that are easy to learn, and the first-person pronoun, referring to myself, is a perfect example of this.


2 Almost every first-person English expression you can use in endless ways

Can you answer the question, "What kind of person are you?" in a single sentence? It's not easy.
That is because the country has many layers and many knots, as many as the years that people have lived.
〈First-Person English Expressions for Talking About Myself〉 categorizes topics that can be talked about about myself into broad categories and then subcategories them into more detailed categories.
It contains almost all the English expressions you need to describe yourself, from your outward appearance to your invisible emotions and thoughts, and even your habits and behaviors that only you know.
Each unit also includes other expressions related to that unit, so by combining these, you can speak English in a nearly infinite number of ways.


3 Contains expressions that can be said to anyone without any problem

Just as Korean has honorifics, English has style-shifting, which allows for different expressions depending on the other person.
In fact, this is a subtle nuance that only native speakers can perceive, so it is not something that non-native speakers can understand.
In "First-Person English Expressions for Talking About Myself," we've carefully selected expressions that are neutral and safe to use, regardless of who you're talking to.
If necessary, we have provided detailed explanations for expressions that you should know but be careful about using.
You don't have to worry about your prestige or face being damaged when you write this sentence.
