Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention aims to eliminate the wasted time that occurs when reading a book written in a foreign language while consulting a foreign language dictionary, by specifying one foreign language dictionary and printing the page number of the dictionary page on which the word in the foreign language appears below or above the word in the foreign language text on the edge of the front and back covers of the book written in the foreign language and the foreign language dictionary.
To provide a set of combinations with a foreign language dictionary in which headings are formed for each page and the headings are displayed by dividing the dictionary into unit sections such as every 100 pages, thereby providing a foreign language extensive reading teaching material that is effective not only as an extensive reading teaching material for foreign language learners but also useful for the general public.

(Prior Art) Conventional English-Japanese bilingual books are sold in such a way that the foreign language is printed on the left page and its Japanese translation on the right page, or that the foreign language text is printed on the left page and something like a vocabulary book on the right page, or that the foreign language text is divided into several paragraphs and its translation is printed alongside it.

(Problem to be solved by the invention) In the conventional way of reading foreign language texts, you check the spelling of words on each page of a dictionary while comparing it with the spelling of the words in the book, then follow the spelling of the words lined up with your eyes while going back and forth to look up the word in the dictionary. This has the drawback of being time-consuming.

However, if you know the page number of the dictionary on which the word you are looking for is located, you can look up the word by looking at the page number where it is listed in the correct order, which allows you to look up the word more quickly.

Therefore, by specifying one dictionary and creating one in which the page number of the dictionary on which the word appears is printed between the lines below or above each individual foreign language sentence, and by keeping this dictionary as a set, you can read foreign language sentences while quickly looking up the word in the dictionary.

Furthermore, if you create stepped headings every 10 pages on the front and back covers of the dictionary, you can look up words even faster.

Such a set of books and dictionaries would be useful for foreign language learners, as it would allow them to read a lot of foreign language books and improve their foreign language skills.

Furthermore, if interesting foreign novels and popular books were compiled into a set of methods for extensive reading of foreign literature, it is likely that the general public would also use it.

The present invention was developed based on the above concept.

(Means for solving the problem) The present invention resides in a set of a foreign language dictionary and a foreign language book for use in the method of extensive reading of foreign language texts, characterized by the combination of a foreign language dictionary in which the foreign language dictionary is divided into 10 sections every 10 pages, each section being marked with 10 headings numbered 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 9, and the entire dictionary is divided into a front cover side and a back cover side, with headings formed for the sections being numbered 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, etc., and a book in which the page numbers of the dictionary are printed alongside the lines of specific characters other than general-purpose characters that are required to be used in the dictionary between the lines of printed text in the foreign language book.

1A, 1B, and 1C show the front, side, and back views of the foreign language dictionary 1 for the extensive reading method of foreign language sentences of the present invention. 2 is a heading, and headings are made by cutting out 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 9 for every 10 lines, and are divided into 100 lines and are numbered 0, 100, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 10 ...
It is displayed in divisions such as 0, 300, 400, and 500.

The method for creating such a specific foreign language dictionary 1 is as follows: First, identify a specific foreign language dictionary 1, and first stack pages 1 to 10 together. Then, cut out a rectangular or claw-shaped circle having the length from a small gap from the top of the stack to the bottom and the width for a small claw, to create the first heading claw 2, and mark it with the number "0".

Next, bundle pages 11 to 20 together, and cut out a rectangular piece or claw-shaped piece with the same width as the top, measuring from twice the distance from the top to the bottom, to create a second claw, and mark this with the number "1."

Next, bundle pages 21 to 30 together, and cut out a rectangular piece or claw-shaped piece with the same width as the top, measuring from three times the original distance from the top to the bottom, to create a third claw, and mark this with the number "2."

This process is repeated to create a stepped pattern of headings across the entire edge of the dictionary.

Then, at the second step of the stepped heading, if that is page 1, the number 0 is written, if that is page 11, the number 1 is written, and if that is page 21, the number 2 is written, and so on.

The first 0 to 1 of the numbers written on the step-like heading
The page number of the dictionary in part 9 has a zero in the hundreds digit.

The next dictionary page number for 0 to 9 is in the hundreds.

The next dictionary section, 0 to 9, has 200 pages.

The number of pages in each of the following dictionaries for numbers 0 to 9 is in the 300s.
It will be displayed as 400 units, 500 units, etc.

This is shown on the front and back of the dictionary cover.
It is written on the play paper or door page.

A set of the foreign language dictionary 1 created in the above manner and a foreign language book on which the page number of the dictionary page on which the same word appears is printed between the lines below or above each word in the foreign language sentence, as shown in Figure 3, is supplied to the consumer.

In this way, when a foreign language dictionary 1 is provided with headings 2 in which 100 pages are divided into sections and numbers 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 are displayed, with each section having 10 pages in units of 10, such as 0, 1, 2, 3, ... 9, and a foreign language book 3 in which the page number of each necessary word is written between the lines as shown in Figure 3, and the foreign language dictionary 1 is paired with the foreign language dictionary 1, one can look up the page number of the word in the book, check the spelling of the word on each page of the dictionary, and search, thereby quickly consulting the dictionary.
It allows you to read a lot of foreign language texts quickly, which has the effect of significantly improving your learning efficiency.

In the present invention, unlike conventional foreign language dictionaries, the headings are not divided into groups A, B, C, and D, but are divided into 100-page units such as 0, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, etc., and a heading is provided for each 10-page unit. The headings for the sections from page 1 to page 9 are numbered "0", and the next 10-page units are numbered "0".
From page 10 to page 19, the headings with "1" displayed are 20
Pages 10 to 19 are given headings with the number "2," and pages 20 to 29 are given headings with the number "3," so there is no ambiguity in creating the document, and the following pages can be created in the same manner.

(Advantages of the Invention) The present invention uses page numbers as indexes, completely unrelated to alphabetical units, which has never been done before. Therefore, since the first page in an alphabetical unit is set as page 1 and a certain page number is further used as a unit for a group of pages, index numbers are added in order as 0, 1, 2, etc., it is easy to create indexes.

This invention is completely different from the idea of adding alphabetical headings such as A, B, C, D, etc. and further adding headings every 10 pages, and as shown in Figure 3, there is a note between the lines that "rate" is in the right column on page 416, so it is quicker to index the page number of the "spelling" than to look up the column for "R". Therefore, it has the effect of reducing the time spent looking up words in a dictionary and allowing for extensive reading of foreign language texts.
