In the recent Korea-Japan-US collaboration, for some reason I could speak Korean, but I couldn't read Hangul.
And... I still can't read Hangul.
"Is that so?"
I feel relieved.
There's no way you'll be able to read a foreign language before you know it.
……Yes, it should be impossible.
So I didn't do it on purpose.
Just for comfort, I flipped through the pages of the textbook.
"--Huh?"
I get stuck on a certain page.
There was a so-called "goju syllabary table" in Hangul.
"Uh!?"
The sensation of suddenly opening your eyes.
My voice leaked involuntarily. Your brain begins to spin rapidly, regardless of your will.
"... can read."
Flip through the pages of the textbook.
Until a while ago, they only appeared as meaningless character strings.
But now I can clearly recognize it as text.
"Is that so?"
It's clearly the effect of cheat-like language ability.
I was starting to have some guesses about this ability.
From my experience so far, there are probably three conditions for activating the ability.
1. Large amount of input.
2. Understanding language rules.
3. Accompanied by actual experience.
To be precise, I think that input and rules are necessary conditions, and actual experience is the trigger for abilities.
If it weren't for those conditions, the timing when I could understand it would be too mysterious.
And it seems that the rules can be overwhelmed with a huge amount of input.
Conversely, if the rules are known, the input will be less.
There is some kind of trade-off.
I never studied Korean directly, so I didn't know the rules.
So I could speak Korean, but I couldn't read Hangul.
"... but this is definitely not normal."
According to the book, Hangul itself is made up of a combination of consonants and vowels.
That's why it's so easy to understand that you can memorize it in half a day.
For me it was an instant.
Find a Korean vocabulary book and open it.
Try hiding the Japanese part.
I can't read words I don't know.
However, once you take your hand off and see the Japanese translation, you will never forget it.
Just by flipping through the word book, data accumulates in my brain at a tremendous speed.
I picked up a French vocabulary book that was nearby.
Flip through the pages and flip through the pages.
"Oooooh! Great! With this, the French distribution ... Batankyu"
I collapsed.
Kyaaaa! There was a scream from the loan window.
My vision was spinning.
My head had a terrible fever, as if it had overheated
