The words "The", "bank", "offered", and "him" constitute the sentence 100 when the sentence 100 is given, , "The", "job", "as", "a" and "teller." May correspond to block 200, respectively. Corresponding words may be written in each block 200 to represent this correspondence relationship, and each block 200 may have a predetermined shape according to attribute information of each word. For example, a block (" bank " block) corresponding to " bank " corresponds to a " bank " May have a shape determined based on the verb and / or attribute information indicating that the predicate "offered" is present. Likewise, the block ("offered" block) corresponding to "offered" corresponds to the "offered" verb and / or predicate, and the noun and / or subject "bank" And a noun at the end and / or a shape determined based on attribute information indicating that the object " him " exists. In particular, at least some of the " bank " blocks may have a shape protruding toward an " offered " block, and at least some of the offered blocks may have a corresponding depression from a & The shape can enable block specific binding. By such a combination, the words on the surface of the block 200 can be combined to complete the original sentence 300.

As described above, the language education parish according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of blocks 200 each having a predetermined shape, and each of the plurality of blocks 200 includes a plurality of blocks Quot; of " Here, the correspondence between words and blocks 200 may be represented by the shape of blocks 200 and the description of words. First, a corresponding word may be written on the surface of each block 200. [ That is, by disassembling an arbitrary sentence 100 into a plurality of words constituting the sentence 100 and writing each word on the surface of the block 200, Words on the surface can be combined to complete the original sentence 300. [ In addition, block 200 may have a shape determined according to the corresponding word. Specifically, the shape of the block 200 can be determined by the attribute information of the word corresponding to the block 200, wherein the attribute information of the word includes at least one of the parts of speech information in the sentence and the relation information with other adjacent words One can be included. Therefore, the shape of the block 200 may indicate the attribute in the sentence of the word corresponding to the block 200, and at the same time, indicate the connection relationship with the other block 200. [

As described above, in the present invention, the spatial role of each word constituting an arbitrary sentence (especially composed of a foreign language), the grammatical combination method of a word and a word are expressed in the shape of a unique block 200, ), The correct sentence is formed, and the inscription sentence is not formed. That is, the user can recognize the composition of the sentence and the connectivity of the word and the word through the shape of the block 200, the coupling relation, etc. Therefore, the user naturally combines the blocks 200, , We can implicitly judge and learn the relation of grammar.

3-9 illustrate blocks of a language teaching paradigm in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.

The block 200 of the language education parish can be composed of a plurality of blocks 210 to 270 which are classified according to a shape or a function, and the plurality of blocks 210 to 270 include a plurality of blocks 210 to 270, And a connection portion formed on the main body portion.

3 to 9, the shape of the blocks 210 to 270 may be determined based on at least one of attribution information of a word, i.e., part of speech information in a sentence, and relationship information with other adjacent words. More specifically, the shape of the main body part can be determined by the part of speech information, and the shape of the connecting part can be determined by the part of speech information and the relation information with other words. At this time, for selective (or specific) coupling between the blocks 210 to 270, the connection portion may have a shape corresponding to the connection portion of the connectable blocks 210 to 270 and / or the blocks 210 to 270 .

First, referring to FIG. 3, a block (i.e., noun block 210) corresponding to a word whose part-noun is a noun is shown. The noun block 210 may include a rectangular shaped body portion and a connection portion formed from the body portion for coupling with another block. Specifically, the connecting portion may have a pentagonally annular shape protruding and / or depressed from the side surface of the main body portion, and the forming position of the connecting portion may be determined based on the relationship information of words indicated by the noun block 210 (For example, information related to whether the word represented by the word ") is a subject or an object (Object), or a word adjacent to the word is located, and the like) a)).

In addition, a word indicated by the noun block 210 may be used depending on a preposition, etc. In this case, a predetermined pattern may be formed on the surface of the connection portion (see FIG. 3B). As described below, this pattern can be the same as the surface pattern of the preposition block 250, indicating the connectivity between the noun and the preposition.

In addition, the connecting portion may be formed by recessing at least a part of the front surface of the body portion, and the connecting portion may have the same shape as that of the other block so that another block can be accommodated in the connecting portion (see FIG. For example, if the word represented by the noun block 210 is a noun and a word corresponding to the article and / or the adjective is located at the previous position, A connecting portion may be formed so that the block can be received.

Referring to Figure 4, A block (i.e., verb block, 220) corresponding to a word whose part is a verb is shown. The verb block 220 may include a rectangular shaped body portion and a connection portion formed from the body portion for engagement with another block. Specifically, the connecting portion may have a pentagonally annular shape depressed from the side surface of the main body portion, and the forming position of the connecting portion may be formed on the left side and / or the right side of the main body portion based on the relationship information of words indicated by the verb block 220 (See Fig. 4 (a)).

In addition, the connection portion may be formed by recessing at least a part of the front surface of the body portion, and the connection portion may have the same shape as that of the other block so as to accommodate another block in the connection portion (refer to FIG. For example, when a verb and a verb assisting the verb are used together, a rectangular block having a rounded corner can be used for the verb phrase (refer to (c) of FIG. 4) So that the auxiliary member can be accommodated in the connecting portion. Thus, the relationship between the verb and the verb can be expressed.

Referring to Figure 5, A part-time adjective A block corresponding to the word (i.e., adjective block 230) is shown. The adjective block 230 may have a similar shape to the noun block 210. That is, the adjective block 230 may include a rectangular shaped body portion and a connection portion formed from the body portion for engagement with another block. More specifically, the connection portion may protrude and / or sink from the side surface of the body portion And the formation position of the connection portion can be formed on the left and / or right of the body portion based on the relationship information of the words indicated by the adjective block 230. [ This makes it easier to learn the relevance of adjectives and nouns. However, it is possible to form a predetermined pattern (e.g., a wavy pattern) on the surface of the adjective block 230 so as to be distinguished from the noun block 210 (see FIG. 5A).

In this case, the surface pattern of the noun block 210 and the surface pattern of the connecting portion of the adjective block 230 may be the same (for example, (For example, by not displaying any pattern), it can show connectivity with nouns (see FIG. 5 (b)).

In addition, the connecting portion may be formed by recessing at least a part of the front surface of the body portion, and the connecting portion may have the same shape as the other block so that another block can be accommodated in the connecting portion (see FIG. For example, when a word represented by the adjective block 230 is located at the front end and / or the rear end thereof, a connection unit is formed so that the adjective block 240 can be accommodated in the adjective block 230 .

Referring to FIG. 6, a block (adverb block) 240 corresponding to a word whose part-of-speech is an adverb is shown. The adverb block 240 may have a similar shape to the noun block 210. In other words, the adverb block 240 may include a rectangular shaped main body portion and a connecting portion formed from the main body portion for engaging with another block. Specifically, the connecting portion may include a pentagon that protrudes from the side surface of the main body portion and / And the forming position of the connecting portion may be formed on the left and / or right of the body portion based on the relationship information of the words indicated by the attached block 240. [ This makes it easy to learn the relationship between adverbs and nouns. However, it is possible to form a predetermined pattern (for example, a horizontal line pattern) on the surface of the adverb block 240 so as to be distinguished from the noun block 210 (see FIG. 6A).

In this case, the surface pattern of the adjective block 230 and the surface pattern of the connecting portion of the adverb block 240 may be the same (for example, (For example, by displaying a wavy pattern), it is possible to show connectivity with an adjective (see Fig. 6 (b)).

Referring to FIG. 7, a block (preposition block, 250) corresponding to a word whose part is a preposition is shown. The preposition block 250 may have a similar shape to the noun block 210. That is, the preposition block 250 may include a rectangular shaped main body portion and a connection portion formed from the main body portion for coupling with another block. Specifically, the connection portion may have a pentagonal annular shape protruding from the side surface of the main body portion . This makes it easy to learn the relation between prepositions and nouns. However, it is possible to form a predetermined pattern (for example, a dot-like pattern) on the surface of the preposition block 250 so as to be distinguished from the noun block 210 (see FIG.

In this case, the surface pattern of the verb block 220 and the surface pattern of the connecting portion of the preposition block 250 may be the same (for example, , By not showing any patterns), it can show the connectivity of the verb and the preposition (see FIG. 7 (b)).

The connecting portion may be formed on the front surface of the body portion, and the connecting portion may have the same shape as another block received on the front surface of the body portion (see (c) of FIG. 7). For example, if a noun (or a noun phrase) follows a preposition represented by the prepositional block 250, then a connection may be formed such that the noun block 210 may be accepted.

Referring to FIG. 8, a block (i.e., conjunction block 260) corresponding to a word whose part-speech is a conjunction is shown. The conjunction block 260 may have a similar shape to the noun block 210. In other words, the connective block 260 may include a rectangular shaped main body and a connection portion formed from the main body portion for coupling with another block. Specifically, the connection portion may include a pentagon that protrudes from the side surface of the main body portion and / And the formation position of the connection portion can be formed on the left and / or right of the body portion based on the relationship information of the words indicated by the connective block 260. [ However, it is possible to form a predetermined pattern (e.g., a dot-shaped pattern) on the upper and lower ends of the body portion so as to be distinguished from the noun block 210. [

The connective block 260 may vary the shape of the connecting part according to the part of the word to be connected through the connective part in that the connective part connects various parts of speech such as a noun and a noun, a verb and a verb, a noun and a verb. That is, the shape (in particular, the shape of the connecting portion) of the connective block 260 corresponds to the shape of the block (particularly, the shape of the connecting portion) corresponding to the word located at the front end and the rear end of the word, .

Also, the connective block 260 can be used even when the part-of-speech is a relative pronoun. This is because the relative pronoun plays a similar role to the conjunction in that it substitutes a noun and at the same time connects the following clause to the antecedent.

Referring to FIG. 9, a block corresponding to a word that a part-of-speech is an article (i.e., an article block, 270) is shown. The article block 270 may have a diamond shape. Unlike other blocks, the article block 270 can be made of only the main body part. Therefore, when the article block 270 is included in another block, at least a part of the whole surface of the block is formed so as to have the same shape as the article block 270 so that the article block 270 can be accommodated .

The shapes of the blocks 210 to 270 shown in FIGS. 3 to 9 are illustrative, and various configurations can be applied according to the embodiment to which the present invention is applied.
