Natural speed please.
I'm sorry I put up lots of requests in a row. I would like to practice reading when I have time.
Today, I happened to come across a website called RealEnglish.com, or something those lines, and, there, English teachers put up videos to show listeners secret methods to improve their language usage.
Today's "tips and wrinkles" were about how to increase your vocabulary.
So, what are you doing to develop your vocabulary?
In school, I was taught that I should write down words I didn't know in my notebook, and tried to memorize them by going over them repeatedly.
The teachers on the website emphasize that we should learn phrases, not individual words. This is because we speak in groups of words or phrases, not by just a word itself.
They also say that English grammar is to learn that how words go together, and we can learn grammar by following this natural progression. I think that they have a point!
Even if you are Japanese learners, I think this method will work well. What do you think?
Do you have any good ideas?
Made some minor tweaks to a few sentiences.
