a little nervous because it’s my first
time to have a presentation in front of
lots of people in English I started
practicing English by myself when I was
29 years old and so today I’m gonna talk
about my experience to practice English
speaking well to begin with either talk
about my experience when I was in three
conference educator between English and
Korean so parents as peer teachers to
take care of their children and improve
their English and teachers answered like
that of course and will help your
children to hell with our key and time
we can help them improve their English
yes sound great and however when I
listen this answer strange I think
they’ll be torture for some who don’t
have enough confidence especially when I
remind myself over when I was young I
was attending a prime minister in a very
very good place they could talk like a
means of it all – don’t touch it
have you however have you heard about
Koreans eating a dog yeah I did because
in my town at a time a pork and beef
what made expensive and those wild you
know to attain a so people especially
children so if the nature for us to hunt
instead of in a bottle yeah I believe so
we must have a quite a shock when I was
12 years old my family moved of big city
and I was culture shock too because at
the time I was entering kind of
adolescence when I became ecstatic so I
was found
I would early sometimes I was bullied
because my Korean Thailand order to be
different from other kids so my
character has become shy and introvert
until now so whenever the I this poster
attend our meeting and I believe some
students who don’t have self-confidence
also can tolerate it either
not only my personal character bothers
the external environment preventing me
from learning and studying English
speaking because there are only a few
number foreigners who can speak English
at the time in Korea and if I record the
university 17 years tho ago so
foreigners at the time simply like kind
of area like a doctor
they’re paying similar kind of time
machine called TARDIS so I Colin cable
practicing English speaking when I was
27 years old when I was chasing us all
and I want Australia to work with
working hold a pigeon because my family
almost went bankrupt the first ascent
when I’m watching austerity was can I
get a cup of cappuccino please
because I’ve been addicted to taking
coffee I love coffee
however I could continue for Cosmo study
English because I had to make money in
kitchen 24 hours and 7 days I could see
behind me I was living in the suppose
paradise that a beautiful beach and I
couldn’t imagine I decide to practice
English two years later however I have a
dream which is to study Confucianism and
kind of a Chinese history because I
think reachable which is a very
important for me to understand myself
fortunately I got scholarship from
Chinese government and started to attend
a master program of the University in
Shanghai yeah the good news however SMEs
attending the program I’ve really really
discovered there I won’t be able to
continue to my research unless I become
a professor because otherwise hungry
[Laughter]
career I have to go to United States and
to talk to them and you know it means it
is magnified you believe I have to take
the GRE in them well typically you know
and how do you think I overcome this
difficulty where the hints of this
problem will party from my major Asian
history I know a lot of intellectuals in
early twentieth century of East Asia
cocoa speak multiple language the for
either can occur for very famous Chinese
historian who could speak more than 20
can you ship who was Korean they prevent
us cos beta seven languages but you know
it may hurt at the time to find a kind
of private economy and institution like
n is to teach and learn foreign
languages how could they studied how
they study foreign languages where I get
the hint world a secret or P in the
traditional way to study in nature which
is memorizing every cycle if you do
moonlighter pterygoid was tricked really
hit and cry thanks Dan
yeah China stolen every funny
however such a tsunami party comes from
my experience in Australia either
attending language course for a month of
course there are lots of Korean study
English theorists and many of them said
but there wasn’t hostile to ramen
because there’s to eat for me simply
found them or in the highest level of
the course however their English
speaking level but a much lower there in
students from other countries why after
obtaining this situation recognized
their what they need was not knowledge
but just practice I guess they thought
it’s okay to have a right answer to a
question like they accomplished in
education with East Asian because lots
of parents younger children to our kind
of private economy after class of a cost
for they’re improving their academic
skills but the detector speaking for
their elimination so I think there is
problem in this way like the following
each entry if you watch a TV show
cooking every day
but if you don’t who and if you don’t
you know practice cooking in the kitchen
the fish you cook is always terrible and
core so I’ve decided to practice English
I’m memorizing and reciting of paragraph
very recently a dialogue in lecture and
I underst
I don’t understand just on word in the
paragraph and I don’t stop repeating
this practice under I’m reciting
perfectly if I make a small little like
high drama some a moment of old I be
okay
why do you practice I discovered the
practice in foreign language speaking
it’s also kind of interconnectivity have
you ever had an experience to speak
something meaningful without your
attention or I believe so you have a
curious that if you think a lot of
thoughts in your brain but you couldn’t
demand what I think we can experience
the same problem while we play table
tennis you know when you just start
playing table tennis
we usually shut up on the sky and my
partner will be angry
alrighty so to send report our partner
very safely we have to do practice and
after doing you know practices and we
eventually while playing table tennis
will forget how to move our racket arms
because they will automatically and at
the most noticing this procedure and the
concerned about what I memorize I forget
because I believe Warren Moon rights
must be inscribed into my mouth
home because there was also a part of my
body so I have been doing this practice
until now every 30 minutes everything I
think is on long enough
because I will adjust it if I speak
something without rest for 30 minutes
except on the world I’ve seen some
students in NIF who is another native
speaker of English don’t speak English
for more than 30 minutes average I’ve
seen lots of Korean students are just
hanging out with other Korean students
and/or state Korean outside / and so I
can imagine they don’t speak Korean
unless they are in creted or forced to
pick English in class when I just start
this practice I to memorize only two or
three sentences for 30 mins of course
doing this practice and beginning again
I can memorize more and more statistics
and I’ve disturbin there the more
sentences I can memorize in a limited
time the more fluently I can speak
English yes
if practice so can be also kind of a
self-test to estimate my own language
level so she literally speaking I don’t
in any practical what I did any activity
to improve my English I think that this
by myself
however sometimes we need a kind of
objective assessment so at that time
after confirming my own language level
by this practice and then I can become
more and more comfortable and confident
to speak English and then I’ll be trying
to take part in kind of activities today
what I really want to talk about is
practice gives us confidence
we can experience this procedure when it
ran a mountain for a beautiful scenery
gorgeous great fantastic
but even hard to describe how beautiful
it is the feeling when you list the
summit of the mountain
the feeling is one of the main sources
of building our self-confidence so in
defence completion strata like that the
we learn generation is a great name
enjoys carrying a mountain because to
recess for meat we don’t need a talent
for just water and if you maintain your
step one day you can reach the summit so
in the same sense Confucius said the
real curry foodie later means whom you
serve and we build will recover us test
heaviest new teams to be great and
there’s a good reason truth of what
Confucius said so the key to the very
famous baseball player of the world and
also famous for his last abilities to be
successful in the maitre d all that
means he is curry rice everybody a very
simple happy but I believe this he keeps
such a simple habit he can gain a
confidence to try to be successful in
the major league in eventual he can be
three years after I started his practice
I got an interview with a professor of
history department in UC Santa Barbara
it just three years for someone who can
speak only in kind of a cake and a
celebrity to have an interview with a
professor I got a mission we saw a
scholarship so my family I don’t have no
money
then we go to United States so it means
I can say I are not failed to achieve my
dream however by doing this practice
I’ve understood how to build my
self-confidence by doing my habits all
the main regions I come in here if I’d
like to prove myself whether my race
quite or not to build self-confidence
thank you [Applause]
