구문 암기 연습 - 20.03.29(일)

어느덧 3월의 마지막 주일! 

   대한민국은 아직도 코로나19와의 전쟁으로 온 나라가 힘겹다. 그 나마 다행스러운 것은 완쾌되는 사람들의 숫자도 꾸준히 늘고 있다는 점이다. 개인적으로는 올해 10월에서 11월 사이에는 어느정도 진정 국면으로 접어들지 않을까 예상한다. 내년 1,2월 경에는 코로나 치료약도 나오지 않을까?

   200문장을 한 바퀴 도는데는 평균적으로 1시간 30분에서 2시간 정도의 시간이 소요된다. 좀 더 숙달되면 시간은 더 짧아질 것이다. 4월 한달은 꾸준히 연습 해서 기본 문장 1000문장의 기본기를 다지고, 5월부터는 길이가 약간 긴 문장들을 중심으로 반복 연습의 질을 높여나가야 되겠다. 21년 3월 경엔 1500문장 정도를 능수능란하게 구사할 수 있는 수준을 목표로 한다.
