Epilogue

English is a language of context, not words!
The ability to read cultural differences and nuances is true skill.

Unlike Korean, English does not have honorifics.
At first glance, it may seem like everyone is talking to each other in an informal manner.
However, just because there is no honorifics doesn't mean you should use the same expressions to speak to different people and in different situations.
Although there are no honorifics in English, there are certainly polite expressions.
In particular, to speak politely, you must have a fifth skill, 'cultural awareness', in addition to the four skills that make up language (listening, reading, speaking, and writing).
Only by having cultural awareness can we expand our thinking, and when we are able to think openly, we can communicate respectfully and considerately with others.
In English, as in Korean, polite expressions are important, and the dignity of an adult is clearly revealed in the choice of words.
It is a 'skill of dignity' that every real adult must know.
This book is an English learning book written by an author who has taught English in various fields for over 30 years, and teaches professional content in a friendly and easy-to-understand manner at a level suitable for beginners.
Rather than simply introducing polite expressions, the author's experiences studying abroad and firsthand anecdotes are included throughout the text to help readers understand fundamental cultural differences and immerse themselves in the story.
Rather than using obvious examples, we have specifically introduced situations in which the expression can be used and appropriate examples to increase its usability in real-life conversations.

In a world where 'please' isn't enough, even English requires tact!
Let's transform from misunderstanding-causing English to understanding-inducing English.

General English textbooks are large and lengthy, so you often have to study them in earnest rather than looking at them intermittently during your daily life.
For busy office workers who are always short on time, or adults who are struggling to support themselves and their families, this can easily become a burden.
This book is a 'pocket-sized' English learning book that you can easily take out and read in your daily life.
The content is not difficult, so it is suitable not only for office workers but also for anyone interested in English, regardless of generation.
We briefly and concisely teach you only the core of basic English expressions that we consider basic but actually do not know exactly or have a wider range of meanings.
It has a double benefit of being able to kill two birds with one stone by selecting expressions that can be used in a variety of practical English conversations, so it is highly useful and also gives the impression of being a polite person.
The less you know a foreign language, the more directly you will ask the other person for what you want.
In the process, it is common to accidentally commit rude acts.
When you speak Survival English, your listeners will be understanding and listen, but you can't rely on that consideration forever.
Because we have a desire to communicate more deeply than that.
Just one step forward makes English a much more flexible and sophisticated language.
Let's learn polite and mannered English through this book.
Quality English will take us to a wider world.

If you don't get it now, it's too late.
The second book in the "Adult Weapons" series

《Escape from Rude English》 is the second book in the 'Adult Weapons Series'.
This series contains the knowledge and culture that people in their 30s and 40s must acquire to become real, solid adults.
Each volume provides useful tools for life, such as a spear that helps me grow and a shield that protects my future.
Its compact size and convenient volume make it easy to carry around and read whenever you have time.
"What weapons do you have at this very moment?" "Are you prepared to approach English conversations as a polite adult?"
This book is a light and fun English learning guide for office workers who want to study English during their commute or lunch break, those who want to take their English skills to the next level with more detailed study, and anyone studying English for self-improvement purposes.
Breaking free from rude English and learning polite adult language is another 'adult weapon' we need today.
