HSK4級 — 話題が仕事と社会に広がる
4級は、日常の外——仕事、社会、旅、抽象的な考え——に話題が広がる級です。留学や就職で最初に求められることが多いのもこのあたりです。
語が増える一方で、使われる文型は3級までの延長です。新しいのは語彙であって、文の作り方ではないと思って進めると楽になります。
耳から進める手順
どの級でも進め方は同じです。1周目は聴いて意味を確認するだけ。2〜3周目は聴きながら小さく口ずさむ。4周目からは中国語を見る前に訳から言ってみる。これだけで、目で覚えた語彙とは定着の質が変わります。
机に向かう時間が取れない日は、通勤・散歩・家事のあいだに流しっぱなしにしてください。1フレーズをタップすれば延々と繰り返すので、手も目も使いません。足りていないのは勉強時間ではなく、正しい音に触れた総時間です。
よくある質問
4級の語彙が覚えきれません。
単語単位で覚えようとしていませんか。HEYGOWは語を文の中で出すので、文ごと音で覚えたほうが結果的に速く、使えるようになります。
リスニングだけ弱いです。
訳を見ずに音だけ流して、意味が浮かぶかを試してください。浮かばない文だけを繰り返せば、弱点だけに時間を使えます。
試験対策としてはどう使えばいいですか。
章を順に埋めるより、聞いて分からなかった文だけを繰り返すほうが効きます。HEYGOWは再生回数と進捗を章ごとに記録します。
