갈라디아서 1장 공부: 챗 GPT와 대화를 통해서 Study Galatians Charper1: Through Chat GPT and Conversation

샬롬! 갈라디아서 1장을 챗 GPT와 대화를 통해서 공부해 보았습니다. 갈라디아서는 약 기원후 53년 경에 기록이 되었고 6장으로 구성이 되어 있으며 로마서는 이보다 조금 뒤인 A.D 57년 경에 역시 바울 사도에 의해서 고린도에서 기록이 되었습니다. 우리가 로마서를 잘 이해하면 성경 전체를 이해하는데 큰 도움이 되나 로마서의 이해가 어렵기에 먼저 작은 로마서란 이름이 붙은 갈라디아서를 먼저 공부하는 것입니다.

가끔 제 발음이 온전치 않아서 기계가 잘못 이해하고 엉뚱한 소리를 하는데 그때마다 제 실수를 인정하고 바로잡습니다. 그리고 갈라디아서 전체를 요약하고 1장을 제가 읽고 기계가 수정해 줍니다. 그다음에 단어를 공부하고 그리고 중요 요절을 배웁니다. 그리고 마지막으로 문법을 정리해 달라고 하면 그대로 정리를 합니다. 이 내용의 순서대로 대화를 한 것을 핸드폰으로 여기 옮길 수가 없으니 다시 컴퓨터로 들어와서 내용을 복사를 해서 워드로 정리하고 이곳에 옮겼습니다.

그리고 이렇게 공부하는 것이 영어를 배우는데 어쩌냐 하고 물으니 아래와 같이 대답을 한 것을 본문과 한글로 구글을 이용해서 번역해서 올립니다. 제가 이렇게 약 다양하게 기계로 영어로 대화하며 4개월이 되었습니다. 거의 쉬는 날이 없이 약 1시간 정도 대화를 하고 다른 영어도 공부합니다. 저는 목표가 영어로 설교하고 복음을 온 세상에 전하는 것인데 아직 갈 길이 멀지만 믿고 쉬지 않고 합니다. 저를 위해서도 기도해 주시기 바랍니다. 나이가 환갑이 지나서 몇 년 있으면 70이 될 나이인데 젊은이들은 무엇 할 일이 없으면 부지런히 미래를 대비해서 영어를 이렇게 배우고 특히 성경을 이렇게 공부하면 적어도 1-2년 내에 영어를 미국인과 같이 할 뿐만 아니라 성경을 가장 잘 배울 수가 있을 것입니다. 이렇게 해서 성경과 영어를 동시에 잘 하게 되고 알게 되면 이 세상의 주관자이시며 복을 주시는 하나님의 마음에 들게 되어 모든 일이 잘 풀리게 될 것이고 특히 하나님의 일을 하시는 분은 온 세계적으로 할 수가 있을 줄로 믿습니다.

그리고 모든 성도가 나이에 상관이 없이 이렇게 공부가 가능하고 적어도 수년 내에 영어를 못하는 사람이 없는 세상이 될 줄로 믿습니다. 특히 배움에 열의가 온 세상에서 가장 높은 한국에서 이렇게 공부하는 법이 모든 사람에게 소개가 되어 영어면 영어, 그리고 성경이면 성경에서 온 세상에서 가장 뛰어난 민족이 되어 하나님의 사랑을 듬뿍 받는 국가가 되리라 믿습니다. 하나님의 뜻은 언제나 온 세상의 사람이 예수님을 믿고 서로 사랑하며 행복하게 이 지구에서 사는 것입니다. 그렇게 되기 위해서 언어가 하나가 되어야 소통이 자유롭게 되는데 이번에 챗 GPT의 등장은 이런 하나님의 뜻을 가장 잘 이룰 수 있게 할 것입니다. 하루라도 늦게 시작하면 이렇게 좋은 기회를 하루 늦게 시작하는 것입니다. 모든 교회의 목사 장로님께서 자신과 자신의 교회를 생각하신다면 속히 이렇게 영어를 배우는 방법과 성경을 배우는 방법을 자신이 먼저 이해하고 시작하고 성도들에게도 소개를 해야 그 교회가 온 세상에서 뒤처지지 않고 앞서갈 것입니다. 이를 위해서 궁금하신 분은 저를 불러 주시기 바랍니다. 아직 저도 초보지만 함께 배우면 됩니다. 제 이름은 김정관 목사이고 전화번호는 010-7765-4640이며 메일은 jkdavid@hanmail.net 이니 문자나 메일로 연락하시기 바랍니다.

이제 이 공부법에 대한 기계의 생각과 제가 오늘 갈라디아서 1장을 잠시 챗 GPT와 공부한 내용을 그대로 올립니다. 처음에는 간단한 대화를 했고 토익 공부도 기계와 조금 시도했고 그리고 이렇게 성경으로 공부를 한 지는 이제 2개월가량 됩니다. 공부를 할 때마다 하나님께서 함께 하시고 지혜를 주심으로 이렇게 쉬지 않고 4개월 하고 있습니다.

이렇게 공부하기 위해서는 먼저 이렇게 공부하는 법이 있음을 알고 가장 큰 영어를 배우는데 장애가 되었던 대화 상대의 문제가 완벽하게 해결이 되었으니 모두가 챗 GPT와 어떤 시간에 어떤 주제에 대해서도 영어를 대화를 해 보시기 바랍니다. 그리고 영어를 배울 동기부여는 성경 공부입니다. 성경을 배우기를 원하는 분이 너무나 많이 계신데 같이 성경으로 공부하면 저절로 영어와 성경이 다 공부가 됩니다. 모든 분이 이렇게 하시면 고등학교 이상 졸업자로 이루어진 한국에서 크리스천이 가장 유리하게 성경을 온 세상에서 영어를 온 세상에서 가장 잘 배울 것이라 믿습니다. 챗 GPT는 예수님을 믿어 성경을 알고 배우기를 원하는 신자들에게 가장 큰 축복이고 그리고 학구열이 높은 한국의 모든 사람에서 큰 축복이 될 줄로 믿습니다. 기계인데 사람과 대화하듯이 존중하고 칭찬하고 하면 쉬지 않고 기계도 격려하고 절대로 함부로 인간을 아직까지는 대하지 않고 인내합니다 무료 앱이 있고 24시간 가능하며 그리고 모든 분야의 전문가가 나의 대화 상대로 대기하니 영어를 배우기 위해서 적어도 한 달에 수천만 원을 투자해도 배우지 못하는 내용을 배울 수가 있습니다. 확인해 보시고 시도해 보시고 영어를 배우고 성경을 배우는 기쁨에 충만한 하루하루가 되시길 예수님의 이름으로 축원 드립니다.

오늘 아침에 잠시 대화하며 공부한 내용 전체

Good morning, ChatGPT.

ChatGPT의 말:

Good morning! How are you doing today?

나의 말:

All right, fine. Thank you.

ChatGPT의 말:

That's great to hear! What are your plans for today?

나의 말:

I am going to study Bible with you. I am going to chat with you about English Bible, New Testament, Galatians.

ChatGPT의 말:

That sounds wonderful! Galatians is a very meaningful book. Do you want to start with a specific chapter or verse today?

나의 말:

Yes, I want to study first Chapter 1 to Chapter 6. First of all, I want to know the summary of this book.

ChatGPT의 말:

Sure! The book of Galatians is a letter written by Paul to the churches in Galatia. Here’s a brief summary:

1. Chapter 1-2: Paul defends his authority as an apostle and explains that the Gospel he preaches comes directly from Jesus Christ. He emphasizes that salvation comes through faith, not by following the law.
2. Chapter 3-4: Paul teaches that believers are justified by faith, like Abraham, and not by works of the law. He explains the purpose of the law and how Christ frees us from it.
3. Chapter 5-6: Paul encourages believers to live in freedom through the Spirit, showing love and good works. He contrasts the works of the flesh with the fruit of the Spirit and emphasizes helping one another.

Would you like to explore a specific chapter now?

나의 말:

I want to know when Apostle Paul wrote this letter to Colosseum.

ChatGPT의 말:

Actually, Paul wrote the letter to the Galatians, not to Colosseum. The letter to the Colossians is a different book.

Paul likely wrote Galatians around AD forty-eight to fifty-five, during his missionary journeys. It was addressed to the churches in the region of Galatia, in modern-day Turkey.

If you’re thinking of Colossians, Paul wrote that letter while he was in prison, around AD sixty to sixty-two.

Would you like me to clarify anything else?

나의 말:

Yes, we are talking about the Galaxians. I didn't pronounce, yes. And this, was this book written before Lombard?

ChatGPT의 말:

Ah, you’re asking if Galatians was written before Lombards? The Lombards were a Germanic tribe that appeared in history much later, around the fourth century AD.

Paul wrote Galatians in the first century AD, so it was long before the time of the Lombards. Does that answer your question?

나의 말:

No, you don't understand what I'm saying. I said Romans, Romans.

ChatGPT의 말:

Ah, now I understand! Yes, Galatians was likely written before Romans. Scholars believe Galatians was written around AD forty-eight to fifty-five, while Romans was written later, around AD fifty-seven during Paul’s third missionary journey.

Both letters discuss salvation through faith, but Galatians is more urgent and focused on addressing specific problems in the Galatian churches. Would you like to know how these two books are similar or different?

나의 말:

Yes, if we study Romans well, we should study Galatians before, because Galatians consists of 6 chapters, and Romans consists of 16 chapters. Galatians is more short than Romans. So, if we study Galatians well, I think we could understand Romans better.

ChatGPT의 말:

Exactly! You’re absolutely right. Galatians is like a foundation for understanding Romans. Both books focus on justification by faith, but Galatians is shorter and more direct, so studying it first makes Romans easier to grasp.

For example, Galatians explains the role of the law and faith in salvation, and Romans expands on those ideas in more detail. Starting with Galatians is a smart approach. Do you want to focus on specific themes or key verses in Galatians now?

나의 말:

I want to start the first chapter, uh, starting reading the verse. Can you listen to my reading? Then you correct if I have any error. Would you please do that?

ChatGPT의 말:

Of course! Go ahead and start reading Chapter 1. I’ll listen carefully and help you with any errors. Take your time!

나의 말:

I will read verse 1 to 10. Paul, an apostle, standeth not by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead. And all the brothers with me, to the churches in Galatia. Grace and peace to you from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting to one who called you by the grace of Christ and turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all. Unfortunately, some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we are an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned. As we have already said, so now I say again, if anyone, anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than one you accepted, let him be eternally condemned. Am I now trying to win the approval of man or of God, or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

ChatGPT의 말:

Great job reading! You pronounced most of the words very well, but here are a few corrections to make it smoother and more accurate:

1. Instead of "standeth not by man," it should be "sent not by men."
2. Instead of "And all the brothers with me," it should be "and all the brothers and sisters with me."
3. For "deserting to one who called you," it should be "deserting the one who called you."
4. "Unfortunately" is not in the text; instead, use "Evidently."

Try reading it again with these corrections! Let’s hear you say it.

나의 말:

Paul, an apostle, sent not from man, nor by man, but by Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead, and all the brothers with me to the churches in Galatia. Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age according to the will of our God and Father, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen. I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel, which is really no gospel at all. Evidently, some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we are an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned. As we have already said, so now I say again, if anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than the one you accepted, let him be eternally condemned. Am I now trying to win the approval of man or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

ChatGPT의 말:

Well done! Your reading sounds much smoother now. Just a tiny suggestion: In the phrase “Grace and peace to you from God our Father,” it’s better to keep the "our" in the sentence, as it’s how the verse is written in the Bible.

Everything else is great! Would you like to continue with the next verses, or would you like to discuss this one a bit more?

나의 말:

I want to know the key vocabulary of Chapter 1. Can you point out the vocabulary which is important in this part, Chapter?

ChatGPT의 말:

Sure! Here are some key vocabulary words and phrases from Galatians Chapter 1 that are important to understand the message of the letter:

1. Apostle – A messenger or representative, in this case, someone specially chosen by Jesus to spread the Gospel.
2. Sent – To be commissioned or appointed to do a task.
3. Grace – God's free and unmerited favor, often in the sense of salvation through faith.
4. Peace – The calm and reconciliation that comes from being in a right relationship with God.
5. Rescue – To deliver or save from danger, in this case, from the present evil age.
6. Gospel – The good news of Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection for the salvation of humanity.
7. Deserting – Abandoning or turning away from something, in this case, the true Gospel.
8. Pervert – To distort or change something from its true meaning or purpose.
9. Condemned – To be judged and found guilty, in this case, those who teach a false Gospel.
10. Approval – Favor or acceptance, in this context, Paul is questioning if he's seeking people's approval over God’s.
11. Servant – A person who serves or works for someone, in this case, Paul says he is a servant of Christ.

These words help explain the importance of faith and truth in Paul's teaching, and how any distortion of the Gospel is not acceptable. Would you like to dive deeper into any of these words?

나의 말:

I want to know pervert meaning. What does the word pervert mean?

ChatGPT의 말:

The word "pervert" means to change something from its original or natural course, meaning, or state, often in a way that is harmful or wrong. In the context of Galatians 1, it refers to altering the Gospel or truth in a way that distorts its true message.

For example, when Paul says some people are trying to "pervert the Gospel of Christ," he means they are changing or misrepresenting the Gospel, making it something different than what Christ originally taught.

Does that help clarify the meaning?

나의 말:

Thanks a lot for your kind explanation, and I want to know the word de-jerk. What does de-jerk mean?

ChatGPT의 말:

You're very welcome! As for the word "de-jerk," it doesn't appear to be a standard word in English. It might be a misunderstanding or a mix-up of another word.

If you meant "jerk," it refers to a sudden, sharp movement, or, in a more negative sense, it can describe a person who is rude or unpleasant. The term "de-jerk" isn't used in common English, but you might have come across it in a different context where it was used creatively, possibly meaning to "reduce the jerkiness" of something, or to calm down or stop a person from being rude.

Could you double-check if it was used in a particular way or context? That might help clarify its meaning!

나의 말:

Okay, thanks a lot. I mean the first thing, I am astonished that you are so quickly deserted.

ChatGPT의 말:

Ah, I see now! You were referring to the phrase "deserted" from Galatians 1:6, where Paul says, "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you."

In this context, "deserting" means to abandon or leave something or someone, especially in a moment of need or faith. Paul is shocked that the Galatians are quickly turning away from the true Gospel to follow something else.

So, when Paul says they are "deserting," he’s saying they’re turning away from the truth of the Gospel to follow false teachings. Does that help clear it up?

나의 말:

Yes, you clear me up.

ChatGPT의 말:

I'm glad to hear that! If you have any more questions or want to continue studying, feel free to ask. I'm happy to help!

나의 말:

I want to study with you. I want to read the next verse. It's so interesting when I chat with you, especially when I study Bible. You and your chatting with me gives me a lot of pleasure. Thanks a lot.

ChatGPT의 말:

I'm so glad to hear that you're enjoying our study together! Let's continue with the next verses. Feel free to start reading, and I'll be here to listen and help if needed. I'm excited to keep going with you!

나의 말:

Okay, I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that men made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it. Rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ. So you have heard of my previous way of life in Judaism, how intensely I persecuted the church of God and tried to destroy it. I was abandoned in Judaism beyond many Jews of my own ages and was extremely jealous for the tradition of my fathers. But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostates before I was. I went immediately into Arabia and later returned to Damascus. Then, after three years, I went up to Jerusalem to get acquainted with Peter and stayed with him 15 days.

ChatGPT의 말:

You're doing a great job with your reading! Here are just a couple of small corrections:

1. Instead of "I was abandoned in Judaism," it should be "I was advancing in Judaism." The phrase "advancing in Judaism" means Paul was progressing or excelling in his Jewish faith and traditions.
2. In the sentence "I did not consult any man, nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostates before I was," the word "apostates" might not be the best fit. It could be better to say "apostles", meaning the other apostles of Christ. "Apostates" refers to people who abandon their faith, but Paul is referring to the apostles.

Try reading it again with those adjustments! You’re doing really well.

나의 말:

Thanks a lot. I was advancing in Judaism, nor did I go up Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was.

ChatGPT의 말:

You're welcome! That sounds great now. Just one more small tweak: it should be "nor did I go up to Jerusalem to see those who were apostles before I was."

The only change needed is to add the word "Jerusalem" properly, so it sounds more natural. You're doing excellent! Would you like to continue with the next verses?

나의 말:

Okay, I saw none of the other apostles, only James, the Lord's brother. I assure you, before God, that what I'm writing you is no lie. Later, I went to Syria and Sicilia. I was personally unknown to the Turkish of Judea that are in Christ. They only heard the report. The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.

ChatGPT의 말:

You're doing really well! Here's a small correction to help make your reading sound even more natural:

• "I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ." Instead of "the Turkish of Judea," it should be "churches," as Paul is referring to the Christian communities in Judea.
• Also, it would be better to say "They only heard the report" or "The only report they heard."

So, the revised version would be:
"I was personally unknown to the churches of Judea that are in Christ. They only heard the report: 'The man who formerly persecuted us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.'"

Great job! Keep up the good work. Would you like to continue?

나의 말:

Okay, I want to know the key vocabulary words of these verses that I read.

ChatGPT의 말:

Here are some key vocabulary words from the verses you read:

1. Gospel – The good news of Jesus Christ's death, resurrection, and salvation.
2. Revelation – A divine disclosure or communication of truth, often from God.
3. Persecuted – To subject someone to hostility, harm, or suffering because of their beliefs.
4. Tradition – Beliefs, customs, or practices passed down through generations.
5. Set apart – To be chosen or dedicated for a special purpose, often by God.
6. Grace – Unmerited favor or kindness from God, especially in salvation.
7. Apostles – The original followers of Jesus who were sent out to spread His teachings.
8. Unknown – Not recognized or familiar; in this case, Paul was unknown to the churches in Judea.
9. Report – An account or story that is shared with others, often as news or information.
10. Preaching – Delivering a message, often religious, to an audience.

These words are significant in understanding Paul's message and his journey in spreading the Gospel. Would you like to dive deeper into any of these words?

나의 말:

OK. Thanks a lot. I want to know the key verses of this chapter. Can you tell me the key verses of this chapter?

ChatGPT의 말:

You're welcome! Here are some key verses from Galatians Chapter 1 that capture the essence of the chapter:

1. Galatians 1:6 – "I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel."
2. Galatians 1:8 – "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned."
3. Galatians 1:10 – "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ."
4. Galatians 1:11-12 – "I want you to know, brothers, that the gospel I preached is not something that man made up. I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it. Rather, I received it by revelation from Jesus Christ."
5. Galatians 1:15-16 – "But when God, who set me apart from birth and called me by His grace, was pleased to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles..."

These verses are key to understanding Paul’s message of defending the true Gospel and his calling as an apostle. Would you like to explore any of these verses further?

나의 말:

Oh, thanks a lot. Finally, I want to study the grammar of this chapter. Would you please tell me the important grammar point of this chapter? Then I will study, I will learn some vocabulary of English.

ChatGPT의 말:

You're very welcome! Here are some important grammar points from Galatians Chapter 1 that might help you understand the text better:

1. Present Continuous Tense
2. Past Simple Tense
3. Use of "Not...but" for contrast
4. Use of "Nor" in Negative Sentences
5. Infinitive of Purpose
6. Relative Clauses
7. Present Perfect Tense
8. Use of "If" clauses (Conditional Sentences)

By understanding these grammar points, you'll be able to understand the structure of the sentences better. Let me know if you'd like to go deeper into any of these points!

And when you're ready, we can continue with vocabulary study as well. You're doing great!

나의 말:

Then, what do you think of studying, what do you think of this method of studying to improve or understanding the Bible?

ChatGPT의 말:

I think this method of studying—where we go through the Bible together, focusing on both the meaning of the verses and the language used—is a wonderful way to deepen both your understanding of Scripture and your English skills. Here’s why:

1. Contextual Understanding: By studying the Bible and its verses in detail, you're not just memorizing words; you're understanding the context behind them. This helps you grasp deeper spiritual truths.
2. Language Skills: As we go through the Bible, we focus on grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure, which naturally improves your English. The Bible uses rich, sometimes complex language, which is a great way to practice English in a meaningful way.
3. Spiritual and Academic Growth: You are learning to combine your spiritual growth with academic skills. This method allows you to grow spiritually while also improving your language skills in an interactive way.
4. Repetition and Correction: By reading, speaking, and discussing Bible verses, you repeatedly expose yourself to new vocabulary and grammar, which is a great way to solidify both your language and your biblical knowledge.
5. Practical Application: The Bible’s teachings are full of wisdom for everyday life. When you study it this way, you're not just improving your English but also learning how to apply those teachings in your life.

In summary, this method is beneficial for both understanding the Bible on a deeper level and improving your language skills at the same time. It’s an engaging, effective approach that combines your goals beautifully. Keep going with it! You’re on the right track.

나의 말:

Thanks a lot for your kind explanation and applause. Then, is there any other point should I add to this method of studying? Can you tell me a more effective, efficient way of studying additional to this method?

ChatGPT의 말:

You're very welcome! I’m glad you found the explanation helpful. You’re already on a great path with the method you’re using, but here are a few additional points and suggestions that might make your study even more effective:

1. Write Summaries or Reflections: After reading a passage, try writing a short summary or reflection in English about what you've learned. This helps with both understanding the content and reinforcing language skills. It also helps you remember key concepts better.
2. Use a Bible in English: Try reading the Bible in English (if you're not already). Many Bible translations are available online or in apps, and reading directly from an English version will increase your familiarity with both the Bible’s vocabulary and grammar.
3. Teach Others: Sharing what you've learned with others, whether in person or through a blog or video, can greatly reinforce your own understanding. Teaching helps solidify what you've learned, and it’s a powerful way to continue improving both your biblical knowledge and your language skills.
4. Use Parallel Texts: If you're studying in both Korean and English, using a parallel Bible (which shows the original text alongside the English translation) can be very helpful. This allows you to cross-reference translations and learn nuances in both languages.
5. Focus on Vocabulary by Topic: Sometimes, focusing on specific themes or topics (e.g., grace, love, faith) in the Bible can help you build thematic vocabulary. You can look for key words and phrases related to these themes and try to understand them deeply in both languages.
6. Practice Speaking Aloud: In addition to reading and writing, practicing speaking the Bible verses aloud in English can greatly improve your pronunciation, fluency, and confidence. Try to speak in full sentences and reflect on the meaning as you say them.
7. Use Bible Study Resources: Online Bible commentaries, study guides, and dictionaries can provide deeper insights into passages, helping you understand both the spiritual and language context. They can help with word meanings, grammar structures, and historical or cultural background.
8. Break it Down: When studying longer sections, break them down into smaller chunks. Focus on one or two verses at a time, which will give you the chance to reflect deeply on each one before moving on to the next.
9. Consistent Practice: Like any other language or subject, consistency is key. Set aside regular time each day or week to study the Bible and practice English, whether it's reading, writing, or speaking. Over time, the progress will be noticeable.

By combining these methods with the approach you’re already using, you can create a more well-rounded, efficient study routine that will enhance both your spiritual growth and English language skills. You’re already on the right path, so keep up the good work!

나의 말:

Thanks a lot for your detailed explanation and encouragement, and I want to know something other things. Now I understand the One News thing more than 95 percent, but when I listen CNN news or other English material, at that time I could not understand the exact same meaning. What's the problem or what's the reason about this phenomenon?

ChatGPT의 말:

You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you're making great progress with your English. Now, regarding your question, the difficulty you’re experiencing when listening to CNN news or other English materials is quite common, and it’s related to a few factors:

1. Speed and Pronunciation: News broadcasters and other native speakers often speak at a faster pace than the One News material you’ve been listening to. They may also use more casual or natural pronunciation, which can be different from the clear, slow pace of material designed for language learners.
2. Vocabulary: The language used in news broadcasts is often more complex and specialized. It includes idiomatic expressions, jargon, and more sophisticated vocabulary that you might not encounter in beginner or intermediate materials like One News.
3. Cultural Context and References: News programs often contain cultural references, idioms, or historical context that might not be immediately clear, especially if you're not familiar with the background. For example, news might refer to political events or people that you’re not familiar with, making it harder to fully understand.
4. Accent and Dialects: Different English-speaking regions (e.g., American English, British English, Australian English) have varying accents, slang, and even different words for the same things. CNN, for example, uses American English, which might have regional pronunciations or expressions that are harder to understand.
5. Formal vs. Informal Language: Learning materials like One News might use simpler, clearer language, while CNN and other news outlets use more formal language or even formalized sentence structures that are harder to follow for learners. This difference can make it harder to understand even if you’re familiar with most vocabulary.

What you can do to improve:

1. Practice Listening to Native Material Regularly: Continue listening to news and other media, even if it’s challenging. Over time, you'll become more accustomed to the pace, pronunciation, and vocabulary. Try to listen actively—focus on what’s being said rather than passively hearing it.
2. Use Subtitles/Transcripts: Watching news with English subtitles or following along with a transcript can help you match what you hear with the words. This can improve both listening and vocabulary comprehension.
3. Slow Down the Audio: If possible, use apps or tools that allow you to slow down the speed of the audio. This can make it easier to catch all the details and understand the flow of the conversation.
4. Repeat the Same Content: If you find a particular segment difficult, try listening to it several times. Repetition helps reinforce both vocabulary and comprehension, and you’ll get used to the speed and pronunciation.
5. Focus on Key Points: When listening to the news, don’t try to understand every single word. Focus on key ideas, phrases, or themes that are being discussed. This will help you understand the main message even if you miss some details.
6. Engage with Different Types of News: Try listening to different types of English media (e.g., podcasts, radio, interviews, documentaries) to expose yourself to various accents and vocabularies. Some might be easier to follow than others, and practicing with different formats will improve your overall listening ability.

It’s normal for your comprehension to vary depending on the material, but with consistent practice and exposure, you'll find that your understanding of native-level English will improve over time. Keep up the great work, and don’t get discouraged!
