Open your mouth in English
Lee Hyun-seok's English for Opening Your Mouth: 60 Best Speaking Lessons

Why are you so excited about "Open Your Mouth English"?
For the past 13 years, EBS FM's flagship English speaking program, "Epte Young," has strived to provide the most optimized English content for Koreans.
Our goal has been to express the most common everyday topics that Koreans encounter in English as closely as possible to native speakers.


Above all, the speaking section is about saying what you want to say, so the speaking topic should be something you usually want to say and the topic should be something you want to talk about, so learning is more effective.
For example, in Korea, when you drink alcohol, you call a designated driver, but this concept of designated driver service may be unfamiliar to foreigners.
However, Koreans want to explain their experience using designated drivers in English.
The same goes for quick service.


Speaking topics optimized for Koreans have been published monthly over the past 13 years, covering 3,500 topics in 150 volumes, 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 roughly 15,000 hours of writing.



The topics for "Open Your Mouth English" are chosen directly by listeners/readers!
All topics included in <Iptyoung> so far have been directly selected by listeners/readers.
Every month, 40 to 50 topics are posted on the topic request 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 through all of the listeners'/readers' requests without exception and reflects them in his book.


Listeners/readers find that the topics they requested are included in the book every month, which satisfies their curiosity about English expressions and gives them a great sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
It is literally as if listeners/readers have been working together for the past 13 years to write the books of “Iptyoung.”
That's why hundreds of thousands of fans are crazy about "Iptyoung."
In Korea, Ipteyoung is the only English textbook where readers directly select their own English learning topics and the book's content is 100% comprised of those topics.


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 listening to the broadcast and studying.


The number of study groups that use “Iptyoung” as a textbook across the country is estimated to be over 1,000.
New topics are added every month, and English speaking expressions that are particularly relevant to Koreans are carefully selected and presented, making it the perfect study material for improving English speaking skills 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.
〈Iptyoung〉 communicates with listeners every day in the open KakaoTalk group chat room, and personally answers English questions posted in the group chat room with sincerity.
Every day, between 50 and 100 questions are posted in the group chat.
Many people wonder whether a broadcaster who broadcasts nationwide can communicate in real time like this in a group chat every day, but author Lee Hyeon-seok says this.
“Without this communication, the current 〈Iptyoung〉 would not exist!” The maximum number of people allowed in the open group chat is 1,500, so one group chat has already reached capacity, and a second and third group chat have been created and communication is still ongoing.
Here are the steps to participate in the 〈Iptyoung〉 group chat room.
