6 Minute English는 BBC Learning English 사이트에서 매주 출간하는 무료 영어 교육 콘텐츠이며 오디오 파일과 대본(Script) 파일을 제공합니다.



Many animals can reproduce without having sex. Does it bring any advantage to the species that do that? Neil and Rob talk about science, listen to an evolutionary biologist and teach you vocabulary along the way.

많은 동물이 성관계 없이 번식할 수 있습니다. 그렇게하는 종에게 이점이 있습니까? Neil과 Rob은 과학에 대해 이야기하고 진화 생물학자의 말을 듣고 그 과정에서 어휘를 가르칩니다.

새내기할배 블로그가 제안하는 영어단어 암기법은 기본적으로 문장을 통해 암기하는 것입니다. 그래서 설명하는 모든 단어마다 본문도 함께 제시됩니다. 그러나 새로 나온다고 해서 모든 단어를 무한정 암기할 수는 없습니다. 그래서 암기해야 해야 할 단어와 이해만 하고 넘어갈 단어를 구분하는 지혜가 필요합니다.

[BBC Leaning English] 6 Minute English - When males are not needed?에 수록된 영어단어 수는

• 고유명사를 제외하고 총 360개 입니다.
• 이중 OxFord 3000단어와 일치하는 영어단어는 327개로 91%가 해당됩니다.
• 미국의 WordFrequency 사이트에서 조사한 Top 5,000내 포함하는 영어단어는 319개로 89%가 해당됩니다.
• Naver 사전에서 [★★/매우 중요]로 분류된 영어단어는 330개로 92%가 해당됩니다.
• 세개의 기준에 모두 일치하는 영어단어는 모두 311개로 86%의 싱크로율을 보입니다.

이들 기준에 해당되는 영어단어 중 암기해야 할 단어의 수준을 각자 정하고 그 수준의 영어단어가 나오면 문장과 함께 암기하는 습관을 들이면 영어단어공부에 큰 성과를 거둘 수 있을 것입니다

본 글은 Word Frequency 기준 2000순위 이하를 제외한 단어만을 수록하고 있습니다.
