Ok, so I just finished reading Chapter two
and I'm just really excited
so as you know chapter one was like really hard for me
so I read the whole chapter all the way through
and I don't know I might have understood like 50 percent or something
and followed the story, but I missed a lot of details
and then I spent like - two days straight
like, you know going over those all those words
I got like 25 pages of notes or something crazy
so many new words and uhm...
but I have to tell you... and you know I told you in the previous video how
you know, I assume in theory that maybe after five or six chapters
it will really start to get easier... much less new words etc
but already by the second chapter
I feel like I understood maybe 85%
I mean... the jump in comprehension and in comfortableness was huge
and a lot of that I think is... it's partially to do with context
because when you start reading a book from scratch
from the very first chapter, you have no context, right?
but once I read the first chapter and understood 100%
well then I start chapter two having that context
so that's really helpful
but also, I saw tons of vocabulary repeated
it was very exciting!
and I just felt more comfortable... I don't know
I understood... I feel like I understood everything!
I mean there's nothing that I I don't have any questions
I'm going to go back there's still words I missed
I still missed plenty of words
but I felt like I... it was... pffff
I just, I...
this is happening much faster than even I thought it would happen
so I cannot wait now!!
like, I'm just... I'm so excited!
I mean it's like 11:45 p.m. and usually
I go to bed at like 10:30 because I wake up at 5:30 or five o'clock in the morning
Geez like I'm... I don't know...
I'm really enjoying it and the book is great it's...
it's frustrating me but but in a good way
like the characters... I'm like "No! What are you doing!? Nooo!"
But it's exciting to get that into the story
Like, I'm angry at the character you know... and I'm like no no no
but it's exciting to be able to become so involved in this story in a new language
anyway so I'm sorry guys, I just wanted to share that
like I'm just...
I'm blown away
I really did not expect such a huge increase in comprehension
and enjoyment and comfortableness and...
Wow!
so I think I'm gonna have to meditate now to go to sleep
because my mind is on fire, you know...
so I'm going to do ten minutes of meditation
I'm going to go to sleep and I cannot wait to read more tomorrow
Good night!
okay so I'm here in my usual cafe and this morning I've basically been going
through all of the words from Chapter two and
I have to say, it's just so much fun
it really is an enjoyable process especially as you just start to see this
story unfold in front of you, and... you know, after reading the first two reading
the chapter one time all the way through and... you know, you're inevitably going to
have some questions about the story, some of the details that you missed
Um...
You're going to have some ideas about what happened but as you go through and you
learn all the words then you discover all those missing details it's really
like having a jigsaw puzzle, right?
So you don't have all the pieces and so
going back through with that dictionary or those online resources, it's like
you're you know in the pursuit of the missing pieces of the puzzle you know
for that chapter and it's just so much fun and it's very similar to a jigsaw
puzzle as where as with each new piece that you find and you put in you start
to enjoy seeing that image seeing the details of it sort of um... you know
unfold before you, and it's so similar so I just wanted to comment on that it's really
great I'm here with my little set up
So as you can see I have my kindle here and
I'm using a dictionary there as well because it's even more convenient
I have my notes here and then I have the English version on my computer and it's very
convenient because I can just basically switch like this and all of a sudden I
have my dictionary right there so it's just such a really comfortable process
that I'm going through and already I can't wait to dive into chapter 3 so I'm
going to have to keep going anyway so let's keep going
Let's goooo! :)
