native speaker

people from all over the world

understand

speak very quickly

 

제 영어 수업에서는 원어민 선생님이 가르쳤습니다. 세계 각국에서 온 사람들로 교실이꽉 찼습니다. 선생님은 아주 빨리 말하셨는데, 그것이 겁이 나게 했습니다. 정말, 처음에는 이해하고 따라가기가 어려웠습니다. 그런데 시간이 지나면서 더 편안해지고 자신감도 생겼습니다.

 

In my English class, we had a native speaker as our teacher. People from all over the world filled the room. The teacher spoke very quickly, which was intimidating. Seriously, it was a struggle to understand and keep up at first. But over time, I felt more and more comfortable and my confidence grew.

practice saying these phrases

 

문장을 큰 소리로 말하며 발음을 연습했습니다. 처음에는 어색하게 느껴졌지만 계속하면서 더 편안해졌습니다. 실수가 잦았고, 어색한 발음에 웃음이 나오기도 했습니다. 실력이 잘 안들어 답답하기도 했지만, 꾸준히 연습하면 시간이 지나면서 영어가 늘 것이라고 자꾸 생각했습니다.

 

I practiced pronunciation by saying phrases aloud. At first, it felt awkward, but as I continued, I felt more comfortable. Mistakes were frequent, and I found myself chuckling at my awkward pronunciation. It was frustrating how slowly I made progress. But I reminded myself that regular practice will improve my English over time.
