《영어독립 인생 명언 200》은 위대한 철학자, 꿈을 이룬 위인, 우리 시대의 유명 인사들이 남긴 주옥같은 명언을 모은 책이다. 특히 빅테이터-AI 기반 영어 단어 학습 서비스인 <영어독립단어〉에서 명언 200개를 선별하였으며 시간, 습관, 태도, 인간관계, 도전, 배움과 학습, 꿈과 비전 등 우리 삶을 변화 시킬 수 있는 인생 명언을 영어로 만날 수 있다.

《영어독립 인생 명언 200》은 단순히 명언을 읽고 해석하는 것에 그치지 않고, 문장의 핵심인 주어와 동사를 찾아 보고, 핵심 문법 설명을 통해 문장 구조와 명언의 내용을 더 잘 이해할 수 있도록 구성되었다. 또한 명언에 나온 단어와 숙어도 배울 수 있으며 예문에서는 다른 여러 명언도 만날 수 있다. 마지막에는 문장을 구문별로 끊어서 적어 본 후, 명언 전체를 써 봄으로써 영어 문장을 완전히 익히고 명언의 내용을 다시 한번 새겨볼 수 있다.

단어는 아는데 문장 해석이 안 되는 분들, 긴 영어 문장을 보면서 어디서부터 해석해야 할지 막막한 기분이 들었던 분들, 영어 문법 공부가 필요한데 너무 광범위해서 손을 못 대고 있는 분들께 특히 이 책을 추천하며, 책으로만 끝내는 것이 아니라 유튜브 채널 <영어독립>에서 《영어독립 인생 명언 200》에 나오는 명언들을 더 깊고 재미있게 공부할 수 있는 영상을 만날 수 있다.

영어로 만나는 인생 명언!

단순한 영어 공부, 그 이상이 《영어독립 인생 명언 200》으로 이루어질 수 있다!

명언으로 영어를 공부하면 여러 가지 좋은 점이 있다. 동기 부여는 물론이고, 화자의 의도와 목적을 곱씹으며 영어 문장을 한 번 더 들여다보게 된다. 이렇게 마음이 움직이고 머리가 고뇌하는 과정에서 문장이 두 번, 세 번, 네 번... 우리 안에서 부활하게 된다. 마음을 울리는 인생 명언을 만난다면 그것이 우리의 삶을 바꾸는 계기가 될 수도 있다.

《영어독립 인생 명언 200》에 담긴 200가지 영어 명언은 위대한 철학자, 역경을 딛고 자신의 꿈과 위대한 성취를 이룬 위인, 인류의 평화와 이익에 기여하거나 사회에 큰 영향력을 끼친 유명 인사들이 남긴 말들로, 삶의 원동력이 되는 에너지는 물론이고 인생을 변화시킬 수 있는 삶의 지혜를 선사한다.

뿐만 아니라 주옥같은 명언과 함께 영어 문장 구조를 쉽게 파악할 수 있도록 돕는 책이 바로 《영어독립 인생 명언 200》이다. 영어와 한국어의 가장 큰 차이점은 단연 어순이며, 이 어순을 파악하면 영어 문장 구조를 쉽게 이해할 수 있다. 그렇다면 영어 문장을 해석할 때 가장 먼저 해야 하는 일은 무엇일까? 바로 문장에서 절대 빠질 수 없는 주어와 동사를 찾는 것이다. 주어와 동사는 대부분 문장의 가장 앞부분에 있다. 주어와 동사가 뒤에 나오거나 혹은 도치되는 경우, 주어가 생략되거나, 주어가 길어서 뒤로 가는 경우 등의 예외 사항만 잘 찾아내면 된다. 《영어독립 인생 명언 200》은 유명 인사들이 남긴 주옥같은 명언으로 이렇게 핵심 주어와 동사를 찾아 보며 문장 구조를 파악하고, 문법과 단어를 공부하면서 명언이 주는 교훈은 물론이고 영어 실력까지 올릴 수 있는 책이다.

‘영어로 된 명언과 우리말 해석 읽어 보기’, ‘핵심 주어와 동사 찾아 보기’, ‘문법 사항을 통해 구문 알기’, ‘명언에 나온 단어와 숙어 알기’, 이렇게 단계별로 영어 문장을 공부한 후, 소리 내어 명언을 한번 읽어 보고, 명문장을 손으로 직접 써 보게 보면 아마도 단순한 영어 공부, 그 이상이 이루어질 수 있을 것이다. 어쩌면 200번째 명언을 쓰는 순간, 명언을 남긴 위대한 인물들처럼 우리의 삶이 변화될 수도 있을 것이다!
