I’ve been working on learning English under Tadoku concept for 6 months. Tadoku means ”reading a lot”, so I am simply reading books I like. The Following titles are the books I’ve read since I started working on Tadoku.
✅The Bridges Of Madison County (Robert James Waller)

✅This Is Your Brain on Food: An Indispensable Guide to the Surprising Foods that Fight Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, and More (Uma Naidoo)
✅The Silence of the Lambs (Thomas Harris)
*I quit reading this book halfway. It was too difficult for me.
✅Master of the Game (Sidney Sheldon)

✅The Other Side of Midnight (Sidney Sheldon)
*Now I’m reading this book, halfway.
Total: 7 titles
The most exciting title for me is Sidney Sheldon’s Master of the Game. It is famous and popular for English learners as a second language. The Story is long and has a big volume, but so exciting that you can’t stop turning pages.
*Sidney Sheldon is often called ”Page Turner”.
It was an exciting reading experience for me. I will read it again someday.
In general, Tadoku is said to be effective for building up your vocabulary. You can encounter new words that you don’t know by reading books. So it is natural that Tadoku will strengthen your vocabulary.
Consequently, it leads to good effectiveness for your Listening & Speaking ability in conversation. I feel it too, when I speak English myself in a remote-conference with overseas customers etc.
To make it greater for this effectiveness, reading Novels are recommended. As words in Novels are conversational, it will work to improve your conversation skill.
Reading is my joy. I will continue working on Tadoku English learning and will see how effective it is for language learning.
