👩🏫 Teacher’s Tips
1) 하루에 한 문장씩만 소리 내어 말해 보세요.
양치 후에 “오늘은 7시에 일어났어요.” 같은 문장을 한 번만 말해도 입에 익습니다.
2) Connect verbs to small habits.
Say one line whenever you open your phone or make coffee:
“지금 쉬고 있어요.” / “이제 공부하고 싶어요.”
3) 그림처럼 상상하기.
7시에 일어나서 스트레칭하고, 커피를 마시고, 한국어 한 문장을 말하는 장면을 머릿속에 그려 보세요.
4) Keep a visible list.
Write 5 verbs on a sticky note near your desk.
If you can see them easily, you will say them more often.
📝 Quick Quiz
- Translate into Korean: “I eat breakfast and go to work.”
