HSK 5 — masuk ke bahasa tulis dan kata abstrak
Mulai level 5, bukan hanya bahasa lisan, kata yang condong ke bahasa tulis dan kata abstrak juga bertambah. Ini tahap ketika kata yang kamu lihat di berita dan tulisan opini mulai masuk.
Lapisan inilah yang bunyinya paling mudah rusak kalau dihafal dengan mata. Makin abstrak sebuah kata, makin perlu diucapkan: jangan tinggalkan kata yang bisa kamu baca tetapi pelafalannya masih ragu.
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
Apakah kata abstrak bisa dipakai kalau dihafal lewat kalimat?
Untuk menyimpannya dalam bentuk yang bisa dipakai, lewat kalimat justru lebih pasti. Kalau hanya menghafal katanya, kamu tidak tahu kata itu dipakai bersama kata apa, dan akhirnya tidak terpakai.
Level 5 atau level 6 dulu yang sebaiknya dikerjakan?
Berurutan tidak masalah, mengambil bab yang kamu perlukan lebih dulu juga tidak masalah. Semua bab ada audionya, jadi tempat kamu mulai langsung jadi latihan.
Apakah cuma mendengarkan saja ada gunanya?
Ada. Tapi menggerakkan mulut, walau pelan, membuatnya lebih menempel. Di tempat yang tidak memungkinkan bersuara, gerakkan bentuk mulutnya saja.
