Definitely! For me it’s the right mix of difficulty and entertainment. Most of their content that I’ve watched is still a bit of a stretch for me, but I can mostly follow along, and the way that it feels improvised and off-the-cuff makes it a lot less dry than a lot of the channels that feel so slow and intentionally understandable that it’s off-putting to me.

Didn’t have time to finish minecraft stream today. Watched the 同時視聴 (limited to channel members) and then went through the concert again afterwards. It’s almost end of limited time where it’s possible to watch the live concert. Then when I was trying to catch up on minecraft stream, suddenly he stream on twitch, so I watched that. He played for just one match, seems like he has work tomorrow. えらい、早い時間に寝てて。

A bit late catching up. Been doing pretty good with listening every day, notably due to watching a bunch of まんぷく and being consistent with podcasts this week :

  • 日本語の聴解のためのPodcast : 73 min
    • Was able to follow in its 30-minute entirety episode #421, proud moment for me
  • Nihongo Con teppei : 24 min
  • Japanese with Shun : 14 min
  • Bite Size Japanese : 52 min
  • Thinking in Japanese Podcast : 14 min
  • Koto no Ha : 54 min

Week of Listening [August 10 - 16] :kiwi_fruit:

  • x3 youtube subscription vids - around 63 minutes
  • x2 youtube algo recs - around 9 minutes
  • x1 OVA - around 49 minutes

Week total = around 121 minutes
Challenge total = 1,063 minutes
Not hit my goal this week, still feeling unmotivated with listening - it never feels like it goes much of anywhere like reading does. Got some longer vids in this past week though and also hit the 1,000 minute mark for the challenge.

I totally understand this feeling! I too find it a much more difficult activity than reading.

That being said, I have a classmate who understands Japanese so well and speaks in such a natural, fluid manner, without having lived in Japan. I’ve always been very impressed by her. I learned earlier this year that she’s been watching Japanese dramas consistently since high school, which made me realize that oh, right, she’s been listening to Japanese for a long time and it shows.

8/17 is WAY WAY later than 7/1, but I’m starting this part of my journey now :slight_smile: excited to get into a daily listening routine!

・Kanae Minecraft ストリヌ / STRN - Day 9 cont (1h25m / x1.5 = 1h6m) youtube
・ Kanae solo Tarkov (4h x1.5 = 2h40m) youtube

Today’s total: 3h 46m
Monthly total: 107h 28m
Yearly total: 1040h 28m

Back into my normal routine! I am home from my vacation, and getting back into the swing of things. I had some chores to take care of after work today, so I listened to some more Japanese Super Immersion while I took care of them. I got some good listening in on Saturday as well, but I was so wiped from travel and such that I didn’t post anything here about it!

Looking forward to re-establishing routines and getting back into the swing of things!!

Hey, welcome to the listening challenge. Look forward to reading your updates!
