Hearing japanese is totally the number one motive I’m now learning this language so this challenge is kind of made for me
The first time I checked a japanese word in a dictionary was because I heard it in an anime or a game, and part of my vocabulary is still coming this way.
When I don’t hear japanese, I miss it (really !), so I admit keeping on listening every day is kind of normal for me. I didn’t struggle with the last winter challenge, at least (less than with the read every day challenge
)
As for my material, it will be games and anime mainly. However, I now listen to audio books or series. And I’d like to listen more podcasts too, so I’ll be watching the recommendations of everyone.
Also, one hour a week, I have an italki lesson when I talk a little with my teacher too. Listening some dialogs is part of our routine.
I listen a lot of j-music too, pop punk and anime music essentially, but it’s more passive listening so I won’t count it in my listening practice, except if I study the lyrics and sing along ![]()

Listened when listened
| Listened | Type | Notes | |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Jam Maker | Satori Reader series | Here it is. It was slow and uneventful but the heroine’s point of view is interesting. | |
| Solo Leveling | Anime | Very bloody |
|
| The Apothecary Diaries | Anime | The heroine is smart and badass, the anime is a blast |
|
| Fire Force (炎炎ノ消防隊) | Anime | Season 2 - Sick and tired of the lewd jokes with Tamaki and the violence towards children. I won’t see season 3 when they launch it. | |
