👩🏻‍🏫 Overall Feedback

Hi, it was great meeting you today! I enjoyed talking to you about tech companies, and say 'thanks' to Chloe for me! Some areas to work on are pronouncing the 'ih' sound and article usage. To work on these areas, I suggest that you take more Ringle lessons for conversation practice.

 

✍🏻 In-depth Feedback

1. Do you want to do introductions or skip introductions?

I can introduce myself. Surely. I felt limited to have study software engineering. I quit my job and am starting software engineering, especially front-end development. And Chloe is now a back-end engineer. She is my good mentor to study this field. I study every day from 9 AM to 12 AM. I am in boot camp. Bootcamp operates for about six months to study engineering courses, and we study from 9 AM to 6 PM. And after I study myself.

→ To be honest, I felt limited when I studied software engineering. I decided to make a bold move - I quit my job and started a software engineering boot camp. I am focusing on front-end engineering, while Chloe is a back-end engineer. Even though we work in different areas of engineering, I find that she is a good mentor to have. My study regimen is quite rigorous; I study from 9 AM to 12 AM every day! This boot camp will run for six months, and the class is in session from 9 AM to 6 PM. However, I take things a step further and study on my own after class hours.

 

2. Choose one of the companies in the acronyms NKLCBDT or FAANG, and discuss its competitive edge. What is your outlook for the company?

Among NKLCBDT, I would like to discuss  Toss. Last thing about. There are many problems in the Korea finance industry. They cannot follow the digitalization stream compared with other countries. In the finance industry, there was a huge barrier between people who engaged in that industry. They provided a familiar product. Toss is one of the fastest and easiest products and companies which solved those problems. Personally, the Toss mobile application is the easiest product; even my parents could use it very easily. The title is 'Unusual Challenge'. According to the book, gross history, they have solved the problem in the finance industry by having an AB test. I respect their challenge and efforts to innovate the finance industry.

→ Between these two acronyms, I would like to discuss Toss, which is last in the 'NKLCBDT' acronym. Essentially, Toss has solved a major pain point in Korea's finance industry - not being able to follow a proper digitalization stream. Therefore, in the finance industry, there was a big rift between those who engaged in that industry and those who were not cognizant of it. Toss revolutionized the industry by providing accessible products with an interface that is user-friendly; even my parents know how to use it! There is a book called 'Unusual Challenge' that remarks how product roadmapping, such as AB testing, has helped to solve pain points in the finance industry. To sum things up, I respect Toss for their ability to revolutionize the finance sector.

 

 

📔 Today I learned

이번 수업부터 새로운 튜터와 함께 하게 되었는데, 이 분이 발음 쪽으로 교정을 많이 해주셔서 더 영어식으로 말할 수 있었다. 더 자신감을 가지고 영어를 영어답게 잘 꼬아서(?) 발음해야겠다고 생각했다.
