·Pay attention to the particles
The particles are the key to Japanese! Please pay attention to the auxiliary words when listening. For example: He said it (he said. Emphasis on the predicate "speaking of it"). He がyan いました (He said it. Emphasis on the theme "that"). Because of the use of different particles, the meanings of these three sentences are completely different. "Usually figuring out the usage and meaning of auxiliary words, and paying attention to the auxiliary words when listening" is one of the effective ways to improve Japanese listening.
· Pay attention to the ending
The predicate in Japanese is at the end of the sentence, so you can't guess the meaning of the sentence before listening to it. In addition to the predicate (verb), the ending word is also very important. There are many such ending words, common ones are: affirmation, negation, intention, obligation, etc.
· Remember the correct pronunciation
When learning a word, you must remember its correct pronunciation. Like other languages, Japanese has tones. Remembering the correct pronunciation when studying is helpful for listening. After a word is transmitted to the brain through the ears, the brain is searched for the same word. If you find the same word, it has completed its task, that is, you will understand its meaning immediately. However, if the pronunciation of the word memorized in your brain is incorrect, then you will have a hard time finding the same word in your brain. If you find this one, consider it wrong and then look for the next one, which takes time to understand.
· Remember
We often encounter this phenomenon: after listening, we find that some words have been remembered, but they cannot be remembered. Why? Just because I didn't try hard enough. Sometimes I always look for quantity and ignore quality. Haste makes waste, don’t try to go fast, but move forward steadily.
·I often listen to audio tapes
I usually listen to audio tapes to adapt my hearing organs to the Japanese environment. Make a point of getting into the habit of spotting your blind spots as you practice. Once you know your weaknesses, you will have the direction to strengthen them.
speak
· Remember more examples and apply them in practice
There are many effective ways to "speak" well. But for me, memorizing more example sentences is the fastest and most effective way. Many students enjoy spending time memorizing words. Words are important, but merely memorizing the meaning of a word without knowing its usage is futile. Always remember examples! If you want to remember it, you must recite it so that you can blurt it out. You have to do this if you want to speak fluently.
Read
· Pay attention to the order of articles
In addition to novels, prose and essays, articles usually have their own rules. Roughly speaking, the first paragraph is the beginning, and that’s what this article is about. The second and third paragraphs are examples or demonstrations. They materialize the beginning. The last paragraph is the summary. First, after considering the general outline, it's easy to guess what's going to happen next. In short, the first thing to realize is this.
·Take notes while reading
When reading text, it is very useful for understanding Japanese text and developing the habit of marking when reading. Because first of all, the language family of Japanese is different from Chinese. Also in Japanese articles, modifiers are usually longer. Once the sentence is long, sometimes I can't figure it out. For example, when labeling, if you encounter an attributive (a type of modifier), enclose it in parentheses, enclose the auxiliary in a circle, and so on. As you read each sentence, look for the subject, predicate, and object.
· Pay attention to continuation words
As the name suggests, continuation words are words that connect sentences and paragraphs. They play an important role in understanding the text. Generally speaking, continuation words indicate cause and effect relationships, and some indicate turning points.
· Pay attention to the words that express the author's opinion
There are many words to express opinions in Japanese, but making it positive or negative is not as easy as in Chinese. Japanese culture has a more ambiguous side, which means it likes to be witty. This expression is common in articles such as ~ないかと思います, ~ないかと思われます, etc.Pay attention to these short sentences that express the author's point of view, which are very important for understanding the main idea.
Regarding specific practice methods, quantitative indicators and auxiliary learning tools , all of these contents have many operational details. For example, how many trainings should be conducted in a day, how many trainings should be conducted in a day, what learning tools need to be used to assist, how to use online learning software to maximize the auxiliary learning effect, etc. Being led by a teacher or directly laying out the operating details and schedule should be much faster and much better than throwing it yourself. Clear quantitative metrics are definitely more useful than vague goals. "Read 30 times a day" and "Read until you feel ok". I don't know which one you'd rather follow, but most people I've contacted are still willing. Follow the first one.
I think it is not worth the time and energy to explore these things as a junior self-study.
