Lee Hyun-seok's "English That Opens Your Mouth, 60 Best Speaking Skills" Hobbies
The core of "English That Opens Your Mouth," which has sold 1.8 million copies!

The series, "Lee Hyun-seok's English for Opening Your Mouth, 60 Best Speaking Lessons," which sparked a craze for English in Korea, has returned after a year with its third installment, "Hobby Life."
To satisfy readers' long-awaited desires with quality content, this book covers 60 days of life-related topics related to hobbies and activities we've always wanted to talk about in English, including daily hobbies, self-improvement, shopping, exercise, special hobbies, and media.
This is the ultimate collection of the best-selling book, "English That Opens Your Mouth," which has sold over 1.8 million copies, and contains only the speaking topics we most want to know about "right now."
Anyone can experience 'opening their mouth' by participating in the 'Reading Challenge' by studying a passage on the topic of the day every day for 60 days according to the book's structure and creating a certification video of themselves reading it out loud.


Why are people crazy about "Open Your Mouth English"?

For the past 15 years, EBS's flagship English speaking program, "Epte Young," has strived to provide the most optimized English content for Koreans.
Since the speaking section is about saying what you want to say, the speaking topic should be something you usually want to say and talk about, so it is more effective for learning.
Since 2008, speaking topics optimized for Koreans have been published monthly in 180 volumes, covering 4,500 topics, and are still being published today.
Lee Hyun-seok, the host of "Open Your Mouth English," and his team of native English-speaking writers spend an average of over 100 hours a month writing a single monthly magazine manuscript.
So far, I've put in about 18,000 hours.

The topics for "Open Your Mouth English" are chosen directly by listeners/readers!

Every month, 40 to 50 topics are posted on the topic application bulletin board of the <Iptyoung> broadcasting website.
These topics cover a wide range of topics, including topics closely related to daily life, Korean culture, and current issues.
Author Lee Hyeon-seok reads every topic requested by listeners/readers without exception and reflects it in his book.
Listeners/readers see their requested topics appear in books every month, satisfy their curiosity about English expressions, and feel a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.


Who uses "Open Your Mouth English"?

The readers and users of 〈Iptyoung〉 literally include all men and women of all ages across the nation.
The target audience is very diverse, including elementary school students learning English for the first time, students preparing to study abroad, job seekers preparing for an English speaking test, mothers raising children, office workers, and retired seniors studying English as a hobby.
If you go to the homepage of the <Iptyoung> broadcast, you will find numerous certified photos and stories of people studying while listening to the broadcast.

It is estimated that there are approximately 1,000 study groups nationwide that use “Iptyoung” as a textbook.
New topics are introduced every month, and since it presents carefully selected English speaking expressions that are particularly relevant to Koreans, it is perfect as a study material for English speaking by topic.

Chat in real-time on KakaoTalk with Lee Hyeon-seok, author of "English That Opens Your Mouth"!

Lee Hyeon-seok, the author of “Iptyoung,” is known for his ability to communicate well with listeners and readers.
I communicate with listeners daily in seven KakaoTalk open chat rooms, and I personally and diligently answer any English questions that come up in the group chats.
Every day, between 50 and 100 questions are posted in the group chat.
Many people wonder if a broadcaster targeting the entire nation can communicate in real time like this in a group chat room every day, but author Lee Hyeon-seok says this.
“Without this communication, the current <Iptyoung> would not exist!” All seven open chat rooms, with a maximum capacity of 1,500 people, have been filled, and we are currently communicating with over 10,000 listeners daily.
