The Crucial Nuances of English Expressions That Determine the Speaker's Impression

No one says, "I was so busy that I couldn't even look at myself" when talking to someone they just met or to someone higher up.
We know that that's an expression used between really close friends.
But why do these absurd situations arise when transitioning from Korean to English? It's because we mistakenly believe that English uses the same language regardless of whether we're speaking it or not, failing to grasp the nuances. Instead, we learn expressions in a haphazard, one-to-one correspondence of "English expression - Korean meaning."
"The Crucial Nuances of English Expressions" breaks down misconceptions and presents the precise nuances appropriate to each expression.


The essence of style shifting: cool English, everyday English, and polite English.

Instead of having a developed sense of honorifics like our language, English has developed a style shifting system that allows it to express the same meaning differently depending on the other person.
So, even for a simple greeting like 'hello', there are cool English expressions that you would use with very close friends, everyday English expressions that you would use with colleagues at work, and polite English expressions that you would use with someone you are meeting for the first time or with a superior.
Because I was never taught or learned these things properly, I sometimes got into unexpected misunderstandings and sometimes got into them.
In "The Crucial Nuances of English Phrases," you'll learn the most common expressions and situations you'll encounter when conversing with native speakers, allowing you to tailor your speech to your audience.


Accurate expression nuances compiled by native speakers and bilinguals

Languages ​​are mutually intelligible, but they cannot be completely identical.
A native Korean author who fully understands the subtle nuances of both Korean and English, and a bilingual Korean author, accurately convey the nuances of meaning between the two languages, allowing you to use accurate expressions depending on the other person.
The nuance of this expression aims to understand not only what I say, but also how the other person thinks of me and treats me, and to respond accordingly.

"Safe Expressions" for Busy and Impatient Readers

It's best to use different expressions to suit each person, but for busy and impatient readers, we've provided expressions for each heading that are polite and safe to use with anyone, so that you can communicate without any problems by just knowing and using them.
Speaking English makes both the speaker and the listener feel good.
