But it helps a lot if you really try to learn by whatever method.

あ、なるほど。日本語をよくわかるために漢字を覚える必要です。

ell, I guess it does not matter much since I don't learn the language to pass tests

私、日本語がスラスラ話せたら、試験を受けるのになぁ。

1.食べようとしたら、電話がかかってきた。
I had a phone call if I would eat a meal.
2.食べるとしたら、ご飯になるだろう。
It will be rice if I eat a meal.

説明ありがとう。

But in #1 it should be ‘before’ (＝その前に) in place of ‘if I would’.
Literally, “The phone rang when I decided to have a meal”
And with better English it becomes, “I had a phone call just as I was about to have a meal”.

～ようとする　－ ”to try to do something”
