Automatically Lerning Vocabulary in Order to Relieve Stress of Not Knowing - My Progresses 89
I learn vocabulary automatically to relief the frustration I feel when I encounter many unknown words. An experience while I was browsing books for French learners today reminded me of this.
When I was in university, 12 to 13 years ago, I was into learning French as well as English. I bought those books one after another, and took some proficiency tests. I haven't really mastered French, so now I know some of the words, but there are lots of words I don't know, which prevent me from finding smallest clues to solve problems on those books. I wonder, 12 years ago, I was almost able to answer those questions, and wondered how I knew then most of those words.
I listened web radios spoken in French when I was in a computer room of university and read out loud texts from the books when I was in my room. I was curious about matters in Africa, because in a few learning classes, they dealt with matters in Africa as well as in France. I didn't really seriously read the reference books, but it looks like that I obtained knowledge of French vocabulary automatically, when I was browsing those reference books when I was a university student. My brain unconsciously worked to relieve frustrations from having a lot of words and knowledge I didn't know much. Unfortunately, after I left university, I gradually stopped learning French and I have forgotten a lot of words, which caused today's experience.
This worked also in learning English, which has enabled me to write many things for this blog, helping me learn a lot of words and make me confidant of using these words and expressions with the words. This automatic process was also thanks to many newscast I listened to and English learning resources with description in Japanese (e.g. reference books and dictionaries).
I wonder whether this automatic process apply for other Japanese or it come from my unique way of perceive things, but still this is worth noting and sharing Japanese bloggers learning English, by writing Japanese version of this post.
