토플 VOCA - 🧶초록이 정복하기🏃‍♂️

🚀동기

직장인의 영단어 외우기는 어때야 할까..? 라는 생각으로 도전해보는 토플 영단어 외워보기. 딱히 토플 시험 목적은 아니지만 영어를 통한 정보의 양과 질을 높이는데에 있어 단어는 필수적이라고 생각했다.
또한 토플까지는 아니고 혹여나 이직 시 필요한 토익시험에 대비 및 미래의 해외 여행 및 거주를 고려할 시 기초적인 단어풀을 늘리는 것이 매우 중요하다고 생각하여 시작하게 되었다.

⛓암기 전략

기본적인 영단어 암기 전략은 간단히 아래와 같다.
1. 최대한 단어의 의미가 기억 안나는 것에 스트레스를 받지말기
2. 시간 날 때 틈틈히 보기만(최소 아침 1회독, 자기 전 1회독) 하고,따로 써서 외우진 않음(시간 소요 최소화)
3. Day1부터 시작해서 하루씩 증가하여, Day1부터 쭉 훑어서 보기
4. 기억이 잘 안나는 단어는 연상법을 활용하여 기억해보거나, 예문이나 문장을 보거나 만들기
5. 도무지 기억이 안난다면 그냥 단어의 분위기나 쓰임 분야라도 외워보기(Ex. 긍정/부정, 양/음, 기쁨/슬픔, 좌/우, 어떤 산업에서 쓰는지 등)
