Main ideas / lessons

English sentence structure differs from Korean, especially in how subjects (the “who/what” of a sentence) are handled.
Learners often struggle because they memorize vocabulary mechanically and because in Korean, people are usually the subject, whereas in English, objects/ideas can become the subject.
To speak naturally, use an “English thinking” method:
- First identify the subject (the key focus).
- Then build the sentence so the subject “does the action” in an English-like way.
English frequently uses personification (anthropomorphism)—treating non-human things (signs, expressions, news, objects) as if they can “speak,” “tell,” “say,” or “create” emotions.
With repeated practice, you can develop a real-time English-speaking “sense” without relying on constant memorization.

Start with “What is the subject?” before anything else.
In English:
- The subject is often an object or event, not necessarily a person (unlike Korean).
Examples (Korean → English structure shift):
- Korean: “I cut my hair.” → English pattern: “My hair was cut.” (hair becomes the key subject)
- Korean: “The password changed.” → English pattern: “The password has changed.”
- Korean: “I repaired the car.” → English pattern: “The car has been repaired.”

For example: “If you take this bus, you can go downtown.”

Ask: “What is the subject here?”
The answer is the bus, because:
- the core meaning isn’t only “you go downtown,”
- but rather the bus causes you to go downtown: “The bus takes you…”

Example: “The sign says ‘No riding’.”

Identify the subject:
- The sign is the subject because it is the key “thing” producing the content.
Address the “verb problem”:
- Don’t think only humans “say/tell.”
- In English, objects/inscriptions can ‘say’ (personification).
Lesson:
- English commonly treats written objects as speaking.

Example: “Looking at her expression, she seems angry.”

Find the subject:
- Her facial expression becomes the subject.
Personification approach:
- “Her expression speaks/tells” → the verb comes naturally from that personified subject.
Example patterns:
- “Her face tells me she is angry.”
- “Her expression speaks for itself.”
Key warning:
- You may not be able to produce “say/tell”-type verbs if you only memorize word lists.
- You need to internalize the English characteristic that non-human things can “speak/tell.”

Example: “I was really surprised by that news.”

Identify subject and structure:
- “That news” is crucial as the cause.
Apply anthropomorphism:
- The news is treated as if it creates an effect like a living agent:
  - “The news made (me) surprised.”
  - “The news created something that surprised me.”

Don’t only memorize phrases/words.
Instead:
- Learn the characteristics of English
- and internalize them via repeated practice
Goal:
- Develop the ability to construct sentences in real time using this framework.

Subject-first thinking in English (subjects often aren’t people).
Objects as subjects (bus, sign, expression, news, coat).
Personification / anthropomorphism:
- sign “says,” expression “tells,” news “creates/surprises,” objects “keep me warm” like they act intentionally.
Repeated training to develop “English sense” for natural speech.
