책소개
언감생심 영어를 유창하게 잘해보겠다는 욕심은 부리지 않고, 영어 벙어리만 면할 수 있다고 생각하는 사람들을 위한 책으로 '외국인과 대화하기 필수표현 80'과 '해외여행 상황별 필수표현 80' 두 파트로 나누어 철저한 연습을 통해 어디서 누구를 만나든 쉽게 활용할 수 있도록 구성하였다. 대화에 필요한 기본 표현뿐 아니라 그와 관련되거나 비슷한 내용을 더 소개해 가능한 많은 표현을 익힐 수 있도록 구성하였다.
무엇보다 영어를 못하는 사람들이 원어민을 만났을 때 가장 하고 싶은 말, 궁금한 말이 무엇인지를 안내하여 자신감을 기를 수 있게 하였다. 또한 실제 해외여행에서 반드시 알아야 할 핵심 표현만을 엄선하였다. 군더더기는 쏙 빼버리고 세계 어디든지 혼자서도 여행하는데 큰 불편이 없게 하였다. 문화의 차이와 그에 따른 표현도 엿볼 수 있는 팁(Tip)은 읽는 재미를 더하며, 각 대화에서 지나치기 쉬운 단어와 구문을 꼼꼼하게 정리하여 세심하게 확인할 수 있도록 노트로 묶어 놓았다.
