Welcome to the **Spring 2026 edition of the Listen Every Day Challenge**. If you’re in the Northern hemisphere, you’re probably looking forward to longer and warmer days and fragrant flowers. Here in the South, we’re savoring the last of the long days, eating our fill of autumn fruit and veges & getting ready to say goodbye to short sleeves.

Anyway, like the title says, this is a challenge to try to listen to something in Japanese every day. **Officially, it runs over two months from April 1st, 2026 -May 30th 2026**. But, of course, you can (unofficially) continue through to the end of June or just do a week-long challenge, a 10 day one or a single month - it’s up to you. And it doesn’t matter if you miss a day (or several) or start late - what’s important is that you build a regular listening practice over time - one you can enjoy!

**How long do I have to listen each day?** That’s up you, but probably a minimum of 10 minutes is a good place to start (ie the length of a short beginner friendly podcast or short YouTube grammar video).

**What counts as “listening”?** Podcasts, YouTube videos, movies, anime, documentaries, audiobooks, games, grammar videos, news reports etc.

**Can I use subtitles.?** Hell, yeah. You can use subtitles in any language - Japanese, your native language or (if you’re a polyglot) any one of your other languages. There are advantages to all variations.

**Some important things to remember**

- _Just because you can read novels doesn’t mean your listening skill will be at the same level._ Listening and Reading are synergistic skills but they need to be worked on independently.
- _As with reading, it’s okay not to understand everything as long as you are getting the gist of what you’re listening to._ If you’re struggling with a particular section of a recorded material, you can always stop and repeat it or check the closed captions. You can also adjust the speed of the recording.
- _One great advantage listening has over reading is that once you have a base line competence, you can do it anywhere_ - while commuting, doing chores, walking, running, exercising. There is no need to “find time” to do it - it can just be stacked onto another activity.

**History of the challenge:** In summer 2022, [@KJules](https://community.wanikani.com/u/kjules) started the first [listen every day challenge](https://community.wanikani.com/t/listen-every-day-challenge-summer-edition/57299). Then in autumn, [@omk3](https://community.wanikani.com/u/omk3) took over, and hosted for a while. Eventually [@omk3](https://community.wanikani.com/u/omk3) asked for someone else to take over and @hotdogsuplex stepped up. The Autumn 2025 was their last challenge and so I volunteered to host. I’ve participated in quite a lot of past listening challenges and my listening ability has steadily improved as a direct result. I’ve also come across a lot of good material and been inspired by reading other people’s posts.

お互いに頑張りましょう！

> **Challenge Goals**
>
> I’ve been doing good with reading everyday, but not quite hitting listening everyday. I would like my goal to be 30 minutes a day, but I think for the first week(s) I’ll just focus on at least listening to something rather than nothing :)) I’ll probably put a green check mark next to days where I do get the full 30 minutes!  
> I am also okay with if I’m really truly busy and my streak gets broken ✌ Just going for big picture improvement right now!!

I was waffling a bit on whether to join or not, but I think I will!! 😊  
My reading habit has been going really well, but I’ve noticed I have fallen off listening everyday 😅

I think I will have simple updates everyday, unless I want to talk more about what I listened to :)) And right now (especially April since it will be busy busy) I’m focusing on just listening to _something_ everyday. Stretch goal is 30 minutes

I also toyed with tracking my Spanish listening too.. but I think that might be too much all at once right now haha. But I want to keep it fluid, so if I change my mind, I can just change my tracking!!

Looking forward to listening with you all!! 😄

## Malinkal’s Home Post

> **ramble ramble**

> I was just wondering where the new thread should be and turns out I missed it when it came out.  
> I fell off posting on the winter thread when things got busy recently but have been keeping up with listening mostly. Will probably miss posting some days here or there but things are getting more settled so looking forward to joining the spring challenge too. Once again I’ve decided that the listening challenge takes priority over reading challenge, I find it more useful to give myself this nudge in listening. Specifically, the reading challenge always pushes me to read a lot every day, which is good for progress, but also just builds up and gets tiring. Pushing myself to listen to lots of Japanese consistently is less tiring and more useful for where I am currently.
> 
> Big uncertainty this challenge is how work will affect stuff - I’m switching from a very set schedule to working slightly less shifts, don’t know how tiring new work will be, if I’ll be able to spend any time doing background listening, whether I can use break time for studying etc. but I will be surrounded by Japanese every day more than at my previous job regardless! Starting relatively soon, hopefully at the same time as the challenge if admin stuff gets sorted.

Thanks for hosting again @Lisaveeta !

You’ll be continuing from a strong base of _surround sound_. I’m sure you’ll find the right balance soon in terms of study.

That’s really sensible and doable. I usually just record what I listen to & save comments for my study log (which is only roughly once a week anyway). Good to have you back!

> **Plans and Goals**
>
> Most of my focus is still on learning to read, so my listening is completely based on what I can pick up through immersion. Anime with English subtitles as a fallback, listening to Satori reader and reading the Japanese text the second time through, listening to music, etc. I’ll eventually take a more focused approach in the future.

It is my first time participating - I’m excited because this is just the challenge I could use right now. I want to catch up on the 4989 American Life podcasts (there are currently 28). The other thing I want to do is start the N2 Kanzen listening comprehension book. Both are listed on my 2026 resolutions. This Spring Listening challenge is like finding a moving walkway in the airport - it will be a turbo boost to help me get to my goals. Thank you @Lisaveeta for hosting this!

Edit: i tried to add my name to the participant list, but I wasn’t sure how to add a new line. I ended up messing up the format so discarded my attempt

I added a line for you 😊 You can fill in the blanks

Btw, just in case, it’s easier to edit table when this A markdown button toggled to standard.

Welcome! Welcome! I’m still listening to **4989 American Life** just not stopping and making notes. Maybe seeing your updates here will inspire me to occasionally do that again!

Once we hit summer, it’ll almost be an entire year of me doing this challenge! Of course I haven’t hit a full year streak, but it’d be nice huh?

> **Goals? Similar As Last Time!**
>
> - Bare minimum is 20-30 mins of listening (so an anime episode)
> - If I listen for more than 50 mins, maybe I’ll mark that day as special. I’ve started to become an addict 😅
> - First watch without JP subs, and then a second watch with JP subs if I feel I didn’t understand much

Would anyone have any suggestions for easy anime to add to my listening list?

I’m only N5ish level 😅 and while I watch/listen to plenty of anime, it’s not really at a comprehensive level, so I rely on English subtitles for those. So looking for some a little easier.
