ClassU English Conversation ranks first in cumulative number of students enrolled.

Instructor Lee Min-ho, who devised the "National English Grammar" course that allows anyone from teenagers to grandmothers in their 60s to open their mouths in English, currently enjoys the support of over 30,000 students on ClassU, ranking first in the cumulative number of students enrolled in the English conversation category (as of October 31, 2023). This book is the best English study guide that contains the essence of "National English Grammar," which has been verified by tens of thousands of people.

Learning through 'word image association' to absorb English like a native language

〈National English Grammar〉 goes beyond mechanical 1:1 interpretation and uses a “learning method that associates and imprints images” such as [with] = [a picture that sticks together], [to] = [a thick connecting line], [at] = [a dot that is pointed out], [-ing] = [a wheel that keeps rolling], [what] = [a universal Lego block]. This allows students to accept English as it is, as if it were their native language, and to “absorb it naturally” rather than “mnemonicize it with difficulty.”

Book structure and features

1.
"10 Commandments for Learning English" for Sure Success
The same thing will fail if done the 'wrong way', but will produce the best results if done the 'efficient way'.
National English Law teaches you the correct methods and attitudes necessary for successful learning through the "10 Commandments for English Studying," so that you can avoid repeating failures and achieve the "best results" in your English studies.

2.
"Word-Image Association Learning": Absorbing English Like a Native Language
[With] is introduced in the dictionary with about 17 meanings, including [together], but in the national English grammar, it is defined as 'one [closely attached] picture image'.
Therefore, approaches like “a cat with glasses → a cat with glasses [that are stuck to its face] → a cat [with] glasses” are possible.
In this way, National English Grammar goes beyond 1:1 interpretation and uses a 'learning method that involves associating and imprinting images' to naturally absorb English as if it were your native language.

3.
"600 Sentences of English Writing Practice" with Essential Expressions You've Absorbed
Write 600 sentences in English using essential expressions that you have made your own.
First, write 10 representative sentences for each expression.
At this time, it is effective to look at the picture and write while associating it with the image of a horse.
After writing 10 representative sentences, write up to 20 application sentences to fully internalize the expressions.
(Learn a total of 20 essential expressions → Therefore, 200 representative sentences + 400 applied sentences = 600 sentences in total for writing practice)

4.
"5·5·5 English Speaking Training": 600 Sentences That Stick with You!
To ensure that the 600 sentences you wrote come out of your mouth as 'proper English sounds', listen to MP3s recorded by native speakers and repeat 'Focus on [pronunciation] 5 times → Focus on [intonation] 5 times → Say it smoothly as if it were [mine] 5 times' to build fluent English mouth muscles.
(MP3s can be downloaded from the Siwon School website (www.siwonschoo.com) or listened to by scanning the QR code included in the textbook with your phone.)
