In their very first episode of SpongeMind podcast, Jeremy and Jonson explain a set of principles that make language learning easy.

001 Principles of Language Learning

많은 사람들이 영어 잘 하는 법을 찾아 헤맵니다. 이렇게 해라 저렇게 해라 각종 영어공부법을 테크닉으로 권하곤 하죠. 그러나 중요한 건 테크닉이 아니라 원칙입니다. 어떤 외국어 학습법이든간에 원칙이 단단히 서있지 않으면 아무 소용 없거든요. 그 원칙은 바로 아기처럼 외국어 배우기, 바로 이겁니다. 이건 한국어 배우기를 하고 있는 외국인 청취자에게도 똑같이 적용되고요.

001 외국어 쉽게 배우려면 지켜야 할 원칙

좋은 영어 공부법은 좋은 습관에서 시작합니다. 영어를 쉽게, 잘, 그리고 멋지게 배워내는 사람들이 공통적으로 가지고 있는 세가지 습관에 대하여 알아 보죠.

적을 알고 나를 알면 백전백승! 근데 영어 배우는데 있어서 우리는 적도 모르고 나도 모르는 경우가 많습니다. 가장 큰 적은 내 안에 있다는 것도 잘 모르고요. 영어공부를 방해하는 세개의 장애물... 이건 모두 내 안에 있습니다. 이걸 알고 깨뜨린다면 영어공부의 돌파구가 보이겠죠 ^~^

003 영어 배우기를 방해하는 세가지의 장애물

One of the hardest things about learning Korean is the so-called “polite and impolite speech”. Honorific speech in Korean is hard both for Korean learners to understand and for native Koreans to explain. In this episode, Jonson and Jeremy answer the question: What are 존댓말 and 반말 and how to they manifest in Korean language and society?

영어권 사람들을 만날때  많은 한국사람들이 어떤 예의를 지켜야 하는지 알지 못하고 실수를 하는 때가 있죠. 오늘은 영어권에서의 대화 에티켓에 대해 얘기해 봅니다. 언어교환을 하거나, 외국인 친구 사귀기 할 때 많은 도움이 될 것이며, 영어로 대화하기가 한결 자연스러워 질 것입니다.

005 영어권에서의 대화 에티켓

A big thanks to Paul from Britain for asking a great question! He’s teaching English in Thailand at the moment and is about to start learning Korean. It seems everybody learning a language uses notebooks and grammar books in their study, but how? And what about flashcards? In this episode, we will get into how we use these and what we think works.

028 Beginner’s Strategy for Speaking and Conversations

As a part of our Korean or English language learning routine, when we are doing your repetitive listening, the more we focus the better. Of course, sometimes passive listening is okay too, but if we really want to get the most out it, more intense focus is necessary. These three kinds of thoughts discussed in this episode are the distractions that inhibit our ability to focus and truly get the most out of our listening.

033 Three kinds of thoughts that get in the way of listening

At SpongeMind, we see listening as the backbone to any good language learning routine, whether you're learning English or Korean. And in this episode, we discuss a few ways to make listening to a foreign language easier on you.

034 Three ways to make listening easy

Repeating the same thing over and over seems to be a waste of time. However, it’s exactly the opposite with language learning. Whether you are learning Korean or English, repetitive listening or repetitive reading does amazing things to your brain. In this SpongeMind podcast, we are going to talk about what they are!
