C.S.Lewis

Start studying English at 50

“The weak are not the weak.

Everyone is weak when they do not have a language to explain their lives.”


- Eunyou, writer


One day, I suddenly thought that I wanted to study English.

I recently started running, and when I tried it, I realized I could do it.

At first, I repeated running for 1 minute and walking for 2 minutes a day.

But now I can run 5km a day.


After running like that, the sense of accomplishment was indescribably great.

I have no intention of becoming very fluent in English.

I think it's enough to accurately convey my intentions to foreigners.

At least I don't want to be ignored or make a mistake because I can't speak the language.

My only dream is to write a book in English.


I want to share the worldly wisdom and know-how I have learned with more people.

For this reason, wouldn't it be okay to start learning English at age 50?

Now these sentences were helped by Google Translator.

But wouldn't it be helpful in studying English if I could fully understand these sentences and speak them fluently?


I decided to meet a foreigner once a week and talk about my interests.

At that time, I want to get help to improve my pronunciation and vocabulary.

Get rid of the fear of talking to foreigners.

If I study in small steps like this, wouldn't I be able to write my own book in English someday?
