Tadoku Aftermath





Well Guys, We have just (I know it’s late I was studying more) finished another多読^_^. I hope it was as exciting for you guys as it was for me. I just became ecstatic as the positive reinforcement poured by taking in the instant (ramen) statistics of in while looking up kanji and reading 漫画 (most which was ヘンタイ. DON’T QUESTION IT. IT JUST WORKS) and getting to see how I rank now from 2 months ago. As this is a journey , there's always a quantity of things to work on, innovate and put into action. Thus if you have time to be my walking companion then I will tell you about experience.
(With only a tad bit of complaining. I promise).

This time competing in 多読 I feel that my greatest aids (Not that kind) were my IPod, laptop, and the mass amount of reading materials 先生 gave me (|^_^ |). When I was a neophyte my only access to words I didn't know was to use a辞書の紙 (nothing’s wrong with it but “There is an app for that!”(R)) to which some of the things I had to look up weren’t in there which caused frustration, but being able to expedite the process looking up 漢字 and the radicals (Yes I could do them on jisho.org, but I have a odd situation where I hate looking at lit computer screens too long.) and being
able to keep going was comfortable. (The dictionary app that I used is call Kotoba!) My own laptop that I got right after the first 多読 helped. Because I was able to avoid the bloody battle for the computer starring me (初心者な日本語の学生)Vs. Mom (The coupon Queen). However, you cant over look the fact of being able to store gargantuous amounts of 漫画 on the hard drive without slowing it down (Yep daddy 漫画が大好きです。) ,but to be fair my mom’s computer was blessing in its own time. The materials that 先生 gave me are right next to my bed every night (I try to keep them there.) now so some stuff might be hard ,but I know in time that I will get used to it. So that was the elegant and instead of saying the next things are bad perse I will just say they are unrefined portions.

What stopped me during my 多読 I would say are My diligence. All in all during 多読 I hit that wall of oblivion. Where you don't want to even touch another kanji or page of manga for as long as you live. The solution for this qualm is that I have purchased a daily planner which will allow me to be able to go through things a day at a Time which brings things to a point that I can handle. So that was my Tadoku experience and what I've learned to refine. Now how about you (in tadoku and daily life with Japanese?)
