00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,758
When people start learning English, they often make the same mistakes. I made them too.

2
00:00:04,758 --> 00:00:09,516
So today, I want to talk about some common mistakes people make when they study English.

3
00:00:09,516 --> 00:00:14,954
The first mistake is waiting too long before speaking. Many learners want to be perfect first.

4
00:00:14,954 --> 00:00:19,712
But if you wait for perfect English, you may never start. You improve by speaking.

5
00:00:19,712 --> 00:00:25,150
The second mistake is memorizing too many words without using them in real sentences.

6
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:29,909
A long vocabulary list looks good, but unused words disappear quickly from your memory.

7
00:00:29,909 --> 00:00:35,346
It is better to learn a few useful words and repeat them in daily situations.

8
00:00:35,346 --> 00:00:40,784
The third mistake is translating everything from Korean into English in your head.

9
00:00:40,784 --> 00:00:45,543
This makes speaking slow and stressful. It also makes simple conversations feel harder.

10
00:00:45,543 --> 00:00:50,980
Instead, learn short English patterns and use them right away in simple sentences.

11
00:00:50,980 --> 00:00:56,418
For example, you can say, I am looking for, I am trying to, or I am not used to.

12
00:00:56,418 --> 00:01:01,856
The fourth mistake is studying only grammar rules and forgetting real listening practice.

13
00:01:01,856 --> 00:01:06,614
Grammar matters, but real English also has rhythm, speed, and connected sounds.

14
00:01:06,614 --> 00:01:12,052
If you only read grammar books, real conversations may still sound too fast and confusing.

15
00:01:12,052 --> 00:01:16,811
That is why listening practice matters so much. Your ears need training too.

16
00:01:16,811 --> 00:01:22,248
The fifth mistake is giving up too quickly because progress feels slow.

17
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:27,007
Language learning is not a straight line. Some days feel easy, and some days feel hard.

18
00:01:27,007 --> 00:01:32,445
That does not mean you are failing. It only means you are still learning.

19
00:01:32,445 --> 00:01:37,882
Another mistake is choosing a study method that feels too boring or too difficult to continue.

20
00:01:37,882 --> 00:01:42,641
If your method is too hard, you will stop. Consistency matters more than intensity.

21
00:01:42,641 --> 00:01:48,079
Ten minutes every day can be more powerful than two hours once a week.

22
00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:52,837
So choose a simple routine. Read a little, listen a little, and speak a little.

23
00:01:52,837 --> 00:01:58,275
In the end, the biggest mistake is believing that mistakes are bad. They are not.

24
00:01:58,275 --> 00:02:03,033
Mistakes show that you are trying, using the language, and moving forward.

25
00:02:03,033 --> 00:02:07,791
So do not wait to be perfect. Start small, speak often, and keep going.
