Common combinations of 36 basic verbs and nouns,
Knowing collocations will make your English more sophisticated and sophisticated.

If you want to be good at English, you need to have a good foundation for your studies.
It could be grammar, but there is something else that is equally important.
It is a collocation called collocation.
Collocation is a combination of 'col (together) + location (position, place)', and simply put, it means 'two or more words that are frequently used together to convey a specific meaning.'
In a word, it is a ‘common combination’.
This book, "Enjoy Sweet English Conversation Pie English," is an English textbook that selects 36 basic verbs and nouns and puts them into a visual tool called a pie chart to accurately explain the concept and use of collocation.
In the hope that the learners' hearts will be sweetened as they learn the collocations contained in each piece, we used a pie representing dessert as a visual element.
When speaking English, there are people who make even the same expressions sound particularly sophisticated and sophisticated, and even ordinary expressions sound special.
Conversely, many people repeat the same expressions over and over or speak monotonously.
What's the difference between the two? It lies in their ability to utilize collocation.
This is a different matter from how many words you know and how many idioms you can use.
In English, where a single verb or word can change the nuance and meaning of the entire sentence, the appropriate use of collocation can make a small but big difference.
In that respect, Joyce Park, the author of this book, describes collocation as “a very important bridge from Korean to English.”

Everything You Need to Know About Collocation: Learn Effectively Through 4 Steps

So what's the difference between idioms and collocations, the words we commonly know? Idioms, when combined, change their basic meaning, while collocations retain their original meaning.
Also, while the order of words or verbs in idioms cannot be changed, collocations can be changed as much as you like, and they have the advantage of being familiar to us because they are combinations that have been used together for a long time.
For example, 'raining cats and dogs' is an idiom meaning 'it rains cats and dogs'.
However, in idioms, this expression cannot be used in reverse order, such as 'rain dogs and cats', or 'rain kittens and puppies', to mean light rain.
But collocation is different.
When we say 'it rains a lot' as 'rain heavily', 'heavily' usually comes after, but by using collocation, we can change the order or express it in a different way, such as 'rain hard', 'rain incessantly', or 'rain intensely'.
Knowing a lot of collocations like this will allow you to express yourself in a variety of ways, which will in turn lead to sophisticated and classy English.


This book is divided into four stages: 'Key Combinations', 'Conversation', 'Sentence Practice', and 'Fill in the Blanks'.
First, in Step 1, 'Core Combinations', you will learn the use of collocations and sentences through common combinations that include verbs or nouns.
This is the most basic step, and the more you learn it, the more diverse expressions you can create.
In Step 2, 'Conversation', you will understand how collocation is used in everyday life through a conversation between two people.
You can enjoy the pleasure of observing the emotions of the main characters through the ever-changing situations and conversations.
Step 3, ‘Sentence Practice’ is the process of repeating out loud the various collocations contained in sentences.
It's fun to find out how words, including verbs and nouns, are used in sentences.
The final 'fill in the blank' step is to fully understand collocation by completing sentences with appropriate verbs.
This concludes the common combinations learned through steps 1-2-3.


Now it's a collocation fight
Experience the world of collocation, which becomes more interesting the more you learn and use it!

“Why is my English so monotonous?”, “How can I express myself more naturally?”, “Can’t I express myself in a different way?” These are questions that even those who speak English at least a little can’t avoid.
For those struggling with these concerns, this book, which delves deeply into collocation, will be a truly valuable gift.
This book is also significant in that it provides a single volume on collocations, which are quite important in English study, but which had to be studied by looking up the meaning of each word in a dictionary or by looking it up because there was no suitable textbook.
Above all, the greatest strength of this book is that it sticks to the basics.
I can guarantee that if you master just the combinations of 36 verbs and nouns, you can have as natural and sophisticated conversations as you want.
Through this book, I hope to go beyond fully mastering the expressions that branch out from a single word and instead weave together organically connected meanings in your head like a single web.
Furthermore, I hope that we can have more moments of sweet conversation, as the expression 'Enjoying Sweet English Conversation' suggests.
