5주차 갑니다.

일주 분량 먼저 확인하고, 쭉 한번 가볍게 리스닝 하고, 출근 전 아침에 하루에서 이틀치 분량정도를 미니학습지태블릿으로 필기랑 같이 내용 숙지하고, 출근하면서 반복해서 듣고 있어요. 한 10~20번정도 듣는 것 같아요. 그날 그날은 암기가 되는데, 첫주분을 보니 문장이 다시 어색해지네요. 다그치지 않고 진도나가는걸로 계속 이어 갑니다. 첫 술에 배부르겠어요. 다이아로그 문장들이 재밌어서 새로운 이야기도 재밌게 해가는 것 같습니다. 비슷한 패턴도 반복돼서 헷갈리기도 하는데 부담없이 마음비웁니다. 매일 매일 하니 어딘가 쌓여라 하는 마음으로 비우고 계속 갑니다.
