출판사 서평

- 하루에 하나씩 외우는 숙어
- 지금, 현지에서 많이 쓰이는 숙어들을 엄선해

영어는 어렵다. 특히 외국인처럼 자연스러운 영어를 구사하는 건 오히려 그들에게 문법을 가르치던 저자에게도 어려운 일이었다. 왜? 현지에서 사용되는 자연스러운 표현들을 활용하지 못했기 때문이다. 김수진 저자의 신간 《English Picture Idioms 365》(좋은땅 펴냄)는 이러한 표현력을 키우기 위한 숙어 모음집이다.

《English Picture Idioms 365》는 지금 현지에서 활발하게 사용되고 있는 숙어들을 모아 하루에 한 가지씩 배워 활용할 수 있도록 제시하고 있는 숙어 모음집이다. 각각의 숙어들은 흥미로운 삽화와 함께 제시되어 쉽게 이해할 수 있으면서도 기억에 잘 남을 수 있도록 하고 있으며, 일상생활에서 바로 응용할 수 있도록 대화문 속에서 해당 숙어가 어떻게 사용되는지 보여주고 있다. 독자는 이 숙어들을 반복해서 연습함으로써 영어 표현력을 키울 수 있을 것이다.

언어는 변화한다. 그리고 숙어도 변화한다. 《English Picture Idioms 365》는 그러한 변화의 흐름에 맞는, 북미 영어권 국가에서 자주 사용하는 숙어들을 엄선해 제시하고 있다. 하루에 하나씩, 부담 없이 배우는 숙어를 통해 다양한 문장을 만들어보고 중얼거리다 보면 어느 순간 원어민과 비교해도 손색없을 정도로 자연스러워진 자신의 영어 표현력을 확인할 수 있을 것이다.
