結局は繰り返し使うことか。・・・・英単語の記憶術

　今朝、やっと「天声人語２０２３冬」号を読み終わりました。この本は３ヶ月分(約９０日分)の内容が日本文と英文で書かれ、年に４回発行されます。読者の多くは、日本にいる外国人で「日本語を勉強してる人」と言われます。ですから、漢字にルビーが付いてます。

　私は日本人ですから、逆に日本文の後、英文を読み、新たな言い回しや英単語を学習してます。ご存じの通り、内容は森羅万象を扱っており、世界情勢から歴史、芸術に至るまで網羅し、執筆者は交替で３人といわれます。新聞社であっても、時に、政府を批判する内容も見受けられます。

　私は「天声人語」を大分前から読んでおり、最新の話題に触れ、英単語・熟語の習得が目的です。現役時代はＡＥＴの先生と交流し、時にはビアガーテンに一緒行って楽しく過ごたこともありました。しかし、現在、彼らはイギリスやニュージーランドなど母国に帰り、フェイスブック友人として交流してます。

　ところで、「如何にしたら英単語が使えるように脳に定着するか」その効果的な方法を模索中です。しかし、年齢のせいもあって思うように覚えられません。それでも「自分にとって、どうしても必要である。」と言い聞かせつつ、結局は「繰り返しであり」、「声に出して耳からも聞くこと」を取り入れてます。よい記憶術がありましたら、お教え願います。　　

　

Dear my friends abroad

　The simultaneous interpretation for your understanding will be after my breakfast in Japan time.

.....................................

　This morning, I finally finished reading the "Tensei Jingo VOX POPULI VOX DEI 2023 winter" issue. This book contains three months' worth of information (approximately 90 days' worth) written in Japanese and English, and is published four times a year. Many of this readers are foreigners living in Japan who are said to be "studying Japanese." That's why the kanji of Chinese characters have rubies.

　I'm Japanese, so I read English texts after Japanese texts and learn English new phrases and words. As you know, the content deals with all fields in the world, from world affairs to history and art, and is said to be written by three people in rotation. Even newspaper's company, the article sometimes criticizes the government.

　I have been reading "Tensei Jingo" for about 40 years so far, and my purpose is to learn the latest English sentences and to learn English vocabulary and idioms. During my active years, I interacted with the AET teachers and sometimes went to beer gardens with them and had fun. However, they are now back in their home countries, such as England and New Zealand, so that we are communicating through Facebook.

　By the way, I'm trying to seeking an effective way to memorize English words fixedly in my brain so I can use them, but I can't remember because of my age. Still, I keep telling myself, "It's absolutely necessary for me," but in the end I incorporate "repetition, actually using it on Facebook," and "speaking it out loud and listening to it." If you have a good mnemonics, please let me know.
