1
Did you know that there is only one thing every single culture, country and religion in the world agrees on?
2
And it's that there is only 7 days in a week.
3
Not one more, not one less.
4
Christians, Muslims, Jews, Europeans, Arabs, Asians.
5
From China to Antarctica, everybody has 7 days a week.
6
But why 7?
7
What's so special about that number that every single person on the planet agrees to it?
8
Let me explain.
9
Thousands of years ago, people didn't have iPhones or watches to tell the time.
10
So they would look up at the planets and their positions to guess it.
11
They saw seven planets, including the sun and the moon, and believed that each had superpowers.
12
So they started to worship them.
13
One would be the god of justice, the other would be the goddess of love, and just like that, every planet became a god.
14
They wanted these gods to watch over them 24 /7.
15
So they assigned one God to every hour of the day.
16
And eventually, they even gave a whole day to each.
17
And that's how we ended up with seven days for seven gods.
18
Moon day, Mars day, Mercury day, Jupiter day, Venus day, Saturn day, and of course, Sunday.
19
These people were the Babylonians.
20
Their weak system got so popular that it spread to Spain, France, India, Malaysia, and even the North Pole.
21
That's how Mars day became Tuesday after the Norse god of war, Tu.
22
Mercury day was renamed to Wooden's day after the Norse god of Wisdom, Wooden or Odin.
23
Jupiter day was called Thor's day, after the Norse god of Thunder.
24
And Venus day was renamed after the goddess of love, Frigg or Freya.
25
So it was called Freya day.
26
Many cultures tried to change the week, like the Egyptians and Romans who had 10 days instead of 7.
27
But it never worked out because almost every other country in the world was happy with 7.
28
Actually, the world fell in love with 7.
29
That number became so popular that we started using it everywhere.
30
The seven wonders of the world, the seven colors of the rainbow, the seven deadly sins, the seven continents, the seven seas, the seven chakras,
31
the seven white keys of the piano, and even the seven Harry Potter books.
32
It became a lucky number.
33
So lucky that if you hit it three times in a slot machine, you'll become mega rich.
34
It's so popular, even Cristiano Ronaldo picked it up as his jersey number.
35
And James Bond uses it as a code name.
36
Scientists found out that the reason we love it so much is
37
because we can only remember up to seven things at a time in short -term memory.
38
Anything more than that and we would need to write it down.
39
So the next time you feel like your week is too long or you can't wait for the weekend, just remember it could have been much longer had you had followed the Egyptians.
40
Academy.
41
It's an education platform to upskill yourself from the best teachers.
42
See, we found the most successful people in the world.
43
The CEOs, the YouTubers, the entrepreneurs, the crypto geeks.
44
And we invited them to teach everything they know on our platform.
45
So go to nasacademy .com before their classes start and put NAS Daily as a promo code to get 10 % off.
46
This is only for the first 1000 of you.
47
Or alternatively, you can just join one of our free workshops to try it out.
48
Thank you so much and I'll see you in the next video.

일주일이 7일인 이유, 영어로 알아보는 재미있는 사실
유튜브 영어 공부를 하다 보면 다양한 주제의 영상을 접할 수 있는데, 오늘은 "Why Are There 7 Days In A Week?"라는 영상을 통해 영어 실력을 키우면서 재미있는 지식도 얻어보겠습니다. 이 영상은 일주일이 7일인 이유를 과학적, 문화적 관점에서 설명하며, 일상 영어 표현뿐만 아니라 역사적 배경도 알 수 있어 학습에 매우 유용합니다.
유용한 표현과 구문 모음
- 24/7: 하루 24시간, 일주일 7일을 의미하는 구문으로 "항상" "누구나"와 같은 의미로 사용됩니다. 예: "They wanted these gods to watch over them 24/7." (그들은 이 신들이 그들을 항상 지켜주기를 원했습니다.)
- end up with: "결국 ~이 되다" "결과적으로 ~를 얻다"는 뜻입니다. 예: "That's how we ended up with seven days for seven gods." (그래서 우리는 7신을 위해 7일을 갖게 되었습니다.)
- pick up: "선택하다" "채택하다"는 의미로, 물건뿐만 아니라 번호나 습관도 가리킬 수 있습니다. 예: "Cristiano Ronaldo picked it up as his jersey number." (크리스티아누 호날두는 이 번호를 유니폼 번호로 선택했습니다.)
- work out: "성공하다" "효과가 있게 되다"는 뜻입니다. 예: "But it never worked out because almost every other country was happy with 7." (하지만 대부분의 국가가 7일에 만족했기 때문에 성공하지 못했습니다.)
당신의 쉐도잉 챌린지: Shadow Speak 연습
영어 발음 교정과 말하기 실력을 키우는 가장 효과적인 방법 중 하나가 쉐도잉입니다. 특히 유튜브 영어 공부에서 shadowspeak 기법을 사용하면 빠르게 발음과 리듬을 익힐 수 있습니다. 이번 영상의 대화를 이용해 다음과 같이 연습해 보세요: 1. 영상을 5초씩 멈추며 그대로 따라 말하기 (발음과 억양을 최대한 비슷하게), 2. 속도를 조금씩 높여가며 반복하기 (자연스러운 흐름 익히기), 3. 문장을 분석해 구문을 외우고 자신의 말로 바꾸기 (표현을 실제로 사용해 보기). 이 과정을 10분씩 매일 하면 영어 쉐도잉 실력이 급격히 향상될 것입니다. 기억하세요: "연습이 완벽을 만든다"는 말이 있습니다. 지속적인 쉐도잉 연습이 당신의 영어 실력을 높여줄 것입니다!
이 영상의 문법
화자가 가장 많이 쓰는 문형을 영상 속 실제 표현과 함께 정리했습니다.
| 문형 | 영상 속 표현 |
|---|---|
| 수동태 be + 과거분사 — 누가 하는지보다 무슨 일이 일어나는지에 초점 | was renamed · was called |
| 최상급 the -est / the most … — 집단에서 가장 높거나 낮은 것 | the best · the most successful |
| “will” 미래 will + 동사 — 결정, 약속 또는 예측 | you'll become · I'll see |
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
