자기계발 Project Day(30) - Speaking English Unit[2] ~ Unit[4]

지난 3월27일부터 기록으로 정리하면서 시작한지 한달이 되어 간다.  ... . 

하루에 200문장씩을 읽고 암기하고, 계속 반복한지 한달여가 되어 간다. 한달 전엔 200문장을 다 읽으며, 암기력을 점검하는데, 2시간이 걸렸다. 문장 번호를 따라 편의상 50문장씩을 나눠서 살펴보는데, 대략 30분씩 걸렸다. 

한달이 지난 지금은 50문장의 암기점검에 소요되는 시간이 20분~25분 정도다! 그래서, 200문장을 전체다 읽고 암기하면 평균 1시간20~1시간 30분정도 소요된다. 실수하는 횟수도 점점 줄어들고 있다. 한달 후엔 또 어떤 진전이 있을까? 그 날을 기대하며, 오늘도 틀렸던 문장들을 정리해 본다.
