Book Introduction
A word from MD
Studying English is not easy in any area, but reading English numbers is especially difficult.
When you look at it with your eyes, it's perfectly fine, but when you try to read these numbers out loud, you're left speechless! When you're at a loss for words, open this book.
- Park Sook-kyung, MD of Korean Language and Foreign Languages
"I can speak English a little, but I'm not confident in reading numbers." Everything you need to know about speaking numbers to make this statement sink in.

The power of English numbers is incredible, even though you may not realize it when they're embedded in a sentence, when you have to say them out loud.
This is because it is a powerful technique that clearly reveals the weaknesses of English that have been hidden until now, such as struggling when the numbers get a little too big and not knowing how to read them when they appear together with the units.
A wonderful book that gently and kindly conveys the power of numbers, which are so important yet so often overlooked, to readers in a way that makes them exclaim "Aha!": "Almost All Number Expressions in English."

'How do you say the symbols /, ″, :, ′, - combined with numbers?', 'How do you say the units lbs, oz., m2 used with numbers?', 'What do you say in English when you have expressions that include numbers, like the Korean '오십보백보' (five hundred steps)?' It provides clear answers to all these questions related to numbers.

Publisher's Review
A friendly number speaking book for those who have to look at numbers exceeding ten thousand for a long time to read them, who go blank when they have to think about how to read them when symbols and units are attached, and who hesitate when talking about room numbers while traveling because they are not sure whether to read them separately or read them two digits at a time.
"Ah, so that's how you read it in this situation," "Ah, so that's how you express it!" This is a fascinating book that will make you exclaim "Aha!" moments like this: "Almost All Number Expressions in English."

Curiosity 1: Why did you decide to explain everything in such detail, starting from the basics?

-English is different from Korean, starting with how to read digits.
In fact, reflecting the reality that many learners do not even know how to properly read and write basic numbers, we build a solid foundation from the basics: 1, 2, 3... (one, two, three...).
From reading basic numbers to ordinal numbers and large digits, it contains content that is not taught in detail in any English book.

Curiosity 2: So, how do you read something like this?

- It explains in detail how to read various units and symbols that are not difficult to understand when you just glance at an English sentence, but are combined with numbers.
For example, /(slash) can be read in various ways depending on the situation, such as over, and, or just a brief pause.
You will gain confidence in reading numbers as it explains them one by one by category.


Curiosity 3: Right, I was wondering how to express Korean numbers in English!

-Number expressions that are deeply embedded in our lives, such as 'I'm halfway done', 'I bought it on a 36-month installment plan', 'My batting average is .332', 'It's a 50-50!', 'It's building 203, room 2104', 'Just like in Genesis 1:1', cannot be left out in speaking and writing.
We'll break down the categories and explain how these are expressed in English.
Just looking at the table of contents will make you exclaim, "Wow, I'm really curious to know how to do this in English," which will spark your curiosity and encourage you to learn.
