어렵다.

모르는 단어가 많으니까 읽기도 힘들고 읽어도 의미 파악이 안 된다.

의미 파악이 안 되다 보니 들어도 잘 들리지 않는다.

그러다 보니 받아쓰기도 많이 틀렸다.

일단 단어를 어느 정도 알면 문장의 의미 파악이라도 될 텐데...

책을 읽어도 그림과 같이 보면서 이해하면 되는데 초등학교 3단계인데 그림 보고 의미 파악이 안 되는 것도 꽤 많다.

음...

이렇게 공부하는 게 맞나 싶다.

애니메이션 보면서 일본어를 하나하나 배우듯이 차라리 영상을 보면서 듣고 공부하는 게 더 낫으려나?

다시 방향을 잃을 것 같은 느낌이다.

일단 시작은 했으니 초등학교 3단계 책은 다 읽고 받아쓰기하도록 노력하자.

이것도 반복하다 보면 나아지겠지...

갑자기 난이도가 확 올라갔다.

지금까지 읽은 책들도 3단계라고 되어 있었는데...

오늘부터 3단계랑 차원이 다른데?

어쨌든...

모르는 단어들이 많다 보니 대부분 문장을 다 틀렸네.

듣기 대 실패.

읽는데도 의미 파악도 제대로 안 됨...

이게 3단계구나...

꾸준히 반복적으로 번역에 얽매이지 말고 계속 읽어서 문장 구조를 익히자.

그래도 뭔 말인지는 알아야 익히지 않을까...?

계속 갈등되는 고민이긴 하다.
