Publisher's Review
* A complete reissue of the English grammar book that has become a must-read after 10 years of word-of-mouth!

It may be an unfamiliar name to those in their teens and twenties, but anyone who was around in the mid-1990s trying to improve their English will know the name NeoQuest.
It was an online site that quickly became a keyword for English study, providing high-quality English content that was difficult to find at the time, free of charge, across various fields such as economics, conversation, diary, and reading, introducing good English study books from overseas to Korea, and providing guidance on proper English study methods.
The main characters of NeoQuest's 'Legion' were energetic simultaneous interpreters who graduated from the Graduate School of Simultaneous Interpretation and Translation at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies.
Their actions, which did not stop at their specialty of simultaneous interpretation but did not hesitate to become evangelists for English language learning, created a sensation among netizens despite being in the minor field of language, and even rose to the top of the list of authors in bookstores at the time.


Although they were pushed out by the distribution system of large online bookstores and faded into the corner of history, the five books they published as the 'NeoQuest Series' at Kim Young Publishing Co., Ltd. have endured for 10 years, consistently being selected as 'recommended English books' by word of mouth in the English publishing world, where the shelf life is less than six months.
One of the books in the NeoQuest series that had the biggest impact was .
This is because the experienced English editing skills that allow you to see the big picture of English from above and below are still unrivaled.
This book has now been turned upside down again.
The format and content have completely changed, so much so that it could be called a new book.
The author's broad and deepened perspective, gained through lecturing to students preparing for graduate school in simultaneous interpretation, is fully reflected in this book.
