基本文105

英語の勉強を開始した10年前、
とにかく毎日この英文を通勤途上の車の中で聞いて
暗記したものです。

最初は特に暗記するという意識はなかったのですが、
1日3~5回、3ヶ月間も聞いていたら、
自然に頭の中に入っていました。

暗記しようとするのは疲れますが、暗記しようと努力せずに
とにかく何度も何度も聞いて、その都度口ずさむようにしていると、
自然に暗記できるものです。

ただし膨大な回数を聞く必要がありますが。

しかしその方が暗記した場合より、自然にアウトプット(話す)
できるように思います。

とにかくmp3プレーヤーなどの補助機器を活用し、

同じ文章を何度も何度も浴びること、そして口ずさむこと

はともて良い訓練のように思います。
