Diary of a Wimpy Kid (107)

I've been reading the book "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" for years.

I always find a difficulty of reading it because I find four or five phrases that I don't know almost every page.

Whenever I come across new phrases I have to look it up.

However, last week, I read about 20 pages.

That was quite a few for me.

I had never read that many pages.

Actually, I didn't look up any new phrases.

I just guessed meanings through context.

I still have a quarter left, but I just know I can finish reading it within this year.


グレッグのダメ日記という本を何年も読んでいます。

いつも読むのに苦労します。ほとんど全部のページに知らないフレーズが4個か5個くらいあるからです。

新しいフレーズに出会う度に、調べなければなりません。

でも、先週、だいたい20ページくらい読みました。

それは、私にとって、かなり多いです。

そんなにたくさんのページ読んだことがありませんでした。

実は、新しいフレーズを全然調べませんでした。

ただ文脈から、意味を推測しました。

まだ、4分の1残っていますが、なんとなく今年中に読み終わると思います。(そんな気がします)

I think that's good you tried to read without looking up every new phrase! For me, when I read Japanese books, it can be good sometimes to look up every new phrase, but it takes a lot of time, so I can't read many pages. If I don't look up everything, I feel like I can read a lot more pages and improve more at reading.

Thank you for your corrections. Actually, I've watched the live action movie before, so I already knew about the story. It was not really difficult for me to guess.
But honestly, I want a little more easy book to read. It's difficult to find a right book for your level, isn't it? Sometimes, I find a book for just my level, but if the story is boring I lose my motivation quickly...😅

Your grammar was correct but I feel like this is a bit closer to your native text

How nostalgic, I used to read it a lot as a kid. Just a heads up, there are technically some incorrect grammar in there because it's trying to imitate the writing style of a teen boy, but they are all very natural phrases to use colloquially.

Thank you so much for your corrections! You have read it before!^^ I wanted to know that. I was curious how popular the series among English speaking children. We have the Japanese translation version in a library in my town.

Thank you so much for your corrections!

I've been reading the bookAmerican book series "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" for years.

注:1冊の本ではなく、19冊の本のコレクションらしい。従って、「book 」よりも 「book series 」の方が良い。NOTE: It seems is not a single book, but a collection of 19 books. Hence, "book series" is better than "book."

I always find aより自然に: It has been difficulty of to reading it because I findthere are four or five phrases that I don't knowunknown phrases on almost every page.

Whenever I come across new phrases, I have a tendency to look ithem up.

LOGIC: Some readers might guess the context without using a dictionary to read. (Different readers have different reading styles.)

However, last week, I read about 20 pages.

ALSO POSSIBLE: That was quite a fewn achievement for me.

MY GUESS: I had never read that many pages in a foreign language.

私の推測では、あなたは母国語でそれ以上のものを読んでいる。My guess is that you have read more than that in your native tongue.

I'm reading the very first book with a red cover. It's really fun to read even though I don't really understand what they are saying. I love the characters in the story. Thank you so much for your corrections!

Actually,This time I didn't look up any new phrases.

"Actually" wouldn't be used here! The sentence makes sense without that word as well, but you can add something like "This time" to explain it better

Good job, keep going! You're doing good :)
