암기를 위한 두 가지 조건 열심히 외워서 외워질 것 같으면 영어 못하는 사람이 어디 있을까? 단어를 암기하는 데는 다음의 두 가지 조건이 있다. 이 두 가지 조건을 갖춘다면 암기가 훨씬 쉬워진다. 첫째는 궁금증이다. 궁금증은 ‘마음의 방’과 같다. 방이 없는데 손님이 머물 수 없듯이, 궁금함이 있어야 단어가 오랫동안 머물 수 있다. 단어를 암기하기 전에 궁금증을 가져보자. 원문을 읽는 방법도 있고, 또 이 책과 같이 퀴즈를 풀어보는 방법도 있을 것이다. 둘째는 구체성이다. 귀신 이야기가 무서워지려면, 그냥 귀신이 등장해서는 안 된다. 그 귀신이 등장하는 배경과 설명이 꼭 필요하다, 그렇지 않으면 그 귀신은 우리에게 아무런 감흥을 주지 못한다. 배경은 귀신을 구체적으로 만들어 주고, 구체성은 실감 나게 하고, 우리의 마음을 움직인다. 세상의 모든 사물은 배경과 함께 존재한다. 그런데 만약 우리가 암기하는 단어가 배경과 맥락 없이 덩그러니 그 뜻만 있다면 어떨까? 그렇게 되면 우리의 뇌는 이 단어를 진짜라고 인식하지 않고, 따라서 마음이 움직이지 않고, 결국 외우기 어렵게 될 것이다. 이 책의 단어들은 항상 구체적인 맥락과 함께 등장하고 함께 고민할 수 있도록 설계되어 있다. 단어와 뜻만 전달하는 책이 시시한 귀신 이야기라면, 이 책은 깜짝 놀랄만한 실감 나는 귀신 이야기인 셈이다. 이렇게 이 책은 암기의 두 가지 조건을 모두 충족하고 있다. 이 책이 제시하는 퀴즈 방식의 암기를 통해 독자들은 흥미를 갖고 공부하는 동시에, 외운 단어가 쉽게 잊히지 않는 신기한 경험을 하게 될 것이다.
