こんにちは、Yuです。
お久しぶりの投稿ですね😇

ちょっとこの参考書の単語レベルが難しくなってきて、復習などもあるのでペースがスロー気味です。

というのは建前で、本当は発音学習にどハマりしてしまってそっちばかり集中しているのが原因です。
また別でnoteを書くかもしれませんが、今日新しい 大人の英語発音講座 という書籍がAmazonから到着したのでそっちを無我夢中で読んでいました。

とはいえ英検の日程は変わらないので今日も単語をせっせと進めます。
今回から2つ新しい試みで、

• 発音記号

• ライティングで使える表現

この2つを載せることにしました。

発音を載せる理由は ① 単にハマっているから だけではなく、② 作業を増やすことでその単語に触れる時間を増やし定着可能性を高める こともあります。
やはり難易度は上がっているので、今までと同じ作業ではなく＋αということで行ってみました。

そちらライティングで使える表現の方は、上記の ② に加えてライティング対策も兼ねています。

ただこれは全ての単語に対してではなく、「様々なトピック/文脈で使える万能そうな言い回し」を思いついたときのみ書いています。
