왜 영어공부는 재미나면 안될까? 그저 영어책을 만화책처럼, 보고, 읽고, 웃고, 생각하면 안될까? 그렇게 한바탕 웃고 나면 잘 기억되는 영어는 없을까? 이 불가능해 보이는 도전에 리스코리아 편집진 모두가 팔을 걷어 붙였습니다. 그리고 그동안 발간된 책에 실렸던 그림들과 재미있는 대화들을 끄집어 내어 또 다른 책으로 묶었습니다. 추후에는 거기에다 더 재미있고 명쾌한 설명까지 덧붙일 예정입니다. 본 책 “Cartoon English” 에 실려 있는 영어는 단순히 재미로만 끝나지 않습니다. 아마 독자 여러분들은 아름답고 재미있지만, 정말 미국적인 정확한 영어를 경험하게 될 것입니다. 부디 독자 여러분들의 한바탕 웃음이 영어 실력의 향상으로 이어지기를 기대합니다.
