Words that 'get through' make you want to say them out loud

I would like to
introduce a wonderful article to everyone.

From 'Hummingbird',

[note growth]
Articles with good word rhythm are
easier to read

is the topic.


This article provides
insightful lessons
on how to write articles.



'Easy to read'
'Makes you want to read it again and again'
'Easy to understand'

High-quality articles like these are, as one might expect,
articles with 'no stagnation in the rhythm of the words'.

In the article, Hummingbird says,
'Writing that has mastered the rhythm of words
can even feel beautiful.'
as
they put it.

As one example, 'The Gion Shoja of the Tale of the Heike' is
cited.

Indeed... when you say
'The sound of the Gion Shoja bells...' out loud again,
you can smoothly recite the next sentence.

Like talking to yourself,
you want to say it out loud.

If someone saw me right now,
I would definitely
be treated like a weirdo (*ノωノ)



✔ A simple method
that doesn't rely on techniques

When you try to 'write articles that get read'...

In this world,
many methods for teaching how to write,
saying 'let's do this, let's do that,'
will appear.

・Align sentence endings
・Keep it concise and simple
・Do not use difficult words
・Keep sentences short
・Use appropriate conjunctions
・Use punctuation marks

and so on...
There are still many other ways to
advocate for how to write sentences.

Honestly, it is tedious to try and write while
keeping all of that in mind, isn't it?

I want to write freely and enjoyably♪

So, is there a way to
'write readable text and enjoy writing'
that allows you to'chase two hares and catch both'
?

The answer is simple!

It is to 'read it out loud'.




✔Read it out loud

The greatest benefit of 'reading it out loud'
is that it is an
'advanced method of proofreading'.

As I mentioned earlier,
'easy-to-read text' is protected by
various rules.

In order to not break those rules,
and to notice if you have made a mistake,
please tryreading it out loud once.

Hachidori-san also says this
in their article.

By reading your article out loud once before posting it,
you can identify parts where the rhythm of the words is poor.

Quoted from the article

When you finish writing a piece and
read it out loud again,
you will clearly findparts that do not flow well.

When you improve those stumbling blocks,
the text becomes dramatically easier to read.

This is because, at the point where it is difficult to read out loud,
for the reader,it has become text that is even harder to read
than you might think.



✔ My personal experience

I continue to post on
note every single day.

If you post every day,
you naturally get used to how to write.

But if I let my guard down even a little...
The grammar becomes a mess.
The logical flow falls apart.
An article that makes people ask,
'What are you trying to say?' is created.

That is precisely why...

In order to deliver readable text to my readers,
I look back over it many times and read it out loud.

When you say it out loud, the sound
once produced from your mouth
sends a stimulus to your brain,
and you can notice the parts that are off.

I cannot help but practice
such an easy method of revision.


I want to convey my thoughts to someone...

For that reason as well,
I recommend that you
read the text you have written
'out loud' at least once.

I believe that by doing so,
you will be able to deliver your important thoughts
to your readers better...

Why not try
using this as a reference?

Well then, until next time.
Goodbye.

Hachidori-san.
Thank you very much🤗
