Could someone help me to translate this into Japanese! I think it would be a fun question to ask a language exchange partner. (Even if I have no clue what the answer is)
Also, please feel free to give me your answer to the question (in Japanese and/or English)!
どうもありがとうございました!
When starting to practice reading in a foreign language what is the best way to go about it?
I'm learning Japanese and when I sit down to read, I am lucky if I understand a handfull of words in a big story. It's almost the case that I'm simply practicing my hiragana and katakana...but faster.
What I've been trying to do so far is read the words -even though I don't understand 97% of them - and listen to the accompanying audio file. (e.g. http://hukumusume.com/douwa/betu/jap/05/01.htm)
I look up some of words in online dictionaries -especially for the kanji- but find this to be quite a chore. Perhaps this is the only way to do it...?
Anyway, any advice for reading practice would be great. Interestingly, there are a bunch of resources online for what to read in a new language, but not that much on <em>HOW</em> one should go about their reading practice. I want to approach it like a surgeoun, not a wrestler :D
Thanks in advance,
Robert
