Have you heard of tadoku before?
Tadoku is an innovative approach to learning via reading, and one of the things I really like about it is how it helps us question traditional ways of approaching learning a language.
Up till now, you may have been told:
- Only read materials that will challenge you
- Use a dictionary for words you don’t know
- Persevere with language you don’t understand
However, according to tadoku, you should instead:
- Start with materials you find almost too easy
- Don’t use a dictionary
- Skip language you don’t understand
Of course, there's no one way you "should" learn anything, but if you're looking to change up your Japanese study methods, I can really recommend giving tadoku a go!
Even if you don't like all of the rules of tadoku, the great thing about learning outside of a traditional classroom is that you can pick and choose from the ones that work for you.
If you're interested in giving tadoku a try and happen to live in Edinburgh, check out the Japanese Book Club.
