HSK 2 — percakapan pendek mulai berjalan
Mulai level 2, kata-kata saling tersambung dan menjadi percakapan pendek. Meminta tolong, bertanya di toko, membicarakan cuaca, menyampaikan kondisi badan: situasi sehari-hari bertambah banyak sekaligus.
Kalau kamu melewati bunyinya di tahap ini, nanti kondisi “bisa membaca tetapi tidak menangkap saat mendengar” akan mengendap. Sama seperti level 1, dengarkan dulu baru baca.
Cara menjalaninya lewat telinga
Caranya sama di semua level. Putaran pertama cukup dengarkan dan pastikan artinya. Putaran kedua dan ketiga, dengarkan sambil menggumam mengikutinya. Mulai putaran keempat, lihat terjemahannya dan coba ucapkan bahasa Mandarinnya sebelum melihat teksnya. Hanya dengan itu, kualitas ingatanmu sudah berbeda dari kosakata yang dihafal dengan mata.
Di hari yang tidak sempat duduk belajar, biarkan saja berputar selama perjalanan, jalan kaki, atau mengerjakan urusan rumah. Satu ketukan membuat sebuah frasa berulang terus, jadi tangan dan mata tetap bebas. Yang kurang biasanya bukan waktu belajar, melainkan total waktu bersentuhan dengan bunyi yang benar.
Pertanyaan umum
Bolehkah lanjut ke level 2 padahal level 1 belum selesai?
Boleh. Level hanya patokan, dan audionya sama-sama tersedia dari bab mana pun kamu mulai. Hanya saja kalimat level 2 bertumpu pada kosakata level 1, jadi kalau sulit ditangkap, kembali ke level 1 justru lebih cepat.
Apa yang harus dilakukan kalau tidak bisa menangkap bunyinya?
Daripada memperlambat kecepatan, dengarkan kalimat yang sama berkali-kali. HEYGOW mengulang satu frasa tanpa batas, jadi kamu bisa mendengar bunyi yang sama puluhan kali.
Aku ingin memastikan sudah hafal atau belum.
Lihat terjemahannya lebih dulu, lalu coba ucapkan tanpa melihat teks Mandarinnya. Permainan menyusun urutan dan pilihan ganda juga bisa dipakai untuk mengecek.
