![[SUB] 첫 영어 영상 / 미국에서 영어 수업듣기 / 얼바인 밸리 컬리지 ESL수업 / IVC (Irvine Valley College) / 캠퍼스 투어](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ZDJYMvgfOOM/0.jpg "*** 한국어&영어 자막 있습니다
안녕하세요. 미국이모 비바입니다.
서른이 넘어서 이민을 오다보니 영어가 항상 걸림돌이네요.
처음에 미국에 왔을 때는 슈퍼마켓에서 계산할 때 캐셔가 \"봉투 필요하세요? (Do you need a bag?)\"이라고 묻는 것을 못알아들어서 \"파든? 파든?\" 만 연거푸 외쳤던 기억이 있어요 ㅠㅠ
영어 때문에 괜히 위축되고, 일 할 때도 늘 구글 번역기와 네이버 한영 사전을 켜놓고요ㅋㅋ
그래서 ESL 수업을 수강했습니다. 얼바인에서 가장 인기 있는 ESL 수업은 바로 얼바인 밸리 컬리지 (Irvine Valley College)에서 하는 무료 영어 수업이에요.
항상 대기 인원이 많아서 미리 예약하지 않으면 수업을 듣기 어려워요. 하지만 무료 수업은 무료인만큼 중도 취소하는 학생들도 많아서 기다리다보면 순서가 오기도 합니다.
그래도 이왕이면 무료 수업보다는 유료 수업을 추천해요. 수업의 퀄리티도 다르고, 수강하는 학생들의 태도도 다르거든요.
