20.10.09.금 I give you my word. 약속할게. 권주현의 진짜 영국 영어

Welcome to 권주현의 진짜 영국 영어 on EBS radio.
Today is Friday the 9th of October.
Today is 한글날 or 한글 day.
A day set aside to celebrate Korean alphabet, knows as 한글.
By inventing 한글 and making it accessible to all, King Sejong made it possible for people to communicate through a written version of language, thus giving them a greater sense of unity. I know today is a very special day. But, why don’t we speak English and creat a greater sense of unity just for 10 minutes. Listen carefully and speak out loud with me today.
