Welcome to the “Listen Every Day” Challenge, autumn 2024 edition!
While it’s sad to see summer go, I’m sure we’re all looking forward to a nice crispy fall. So, how about listening to a podcast while carving pumpkins, or watching an episode of your favorite anime while sipping on a pumpkin spice latte? Whatever poison you choose, if you’re trying to improve your listening skills, then this is the place for you.
History of the challenge: In summer 2022, @KJules started the first listen every day challenge. Then in autumn, @omk3 took over, and hosted for a while. Eventually @omk3 asked for someone else to take over, so I’m hosting for the time being.
What is it: A place to set goals for yourself and talk about what you’ve been listening to. You can use it like a study log to keep track of what you’ve done, ask for advice and resource recommendations, or geek out/bond over common interests.
Beginners and experts alike are all welcomed.
Even though the challenge says every day, you’re welcome to do any kind of challenge you want. If there’s a particular series you want to finish, or if you want to reach a certain time goal, or some other kind of goal, feel free. This is a place to improve your listening ability, so do whatever you need to do to achieve that.
To quote @omk3 quoting @KJules quoting @windupbird quoting @Redglare (please no one call the plagiarism police):
This is a thread for people who:
want to spend time more time listening
want to improve their comprehension
want to hold themselves accountable and have a place to document their progress
simply want to join in on the challenge!
Time frame: October 1 - November 30
The challenge will start on October 1st, and the “official” end is November 30th, but you’re challenge is personal to you, and you can start and stop at any time. You can stop at the end of October, or continue all the way into December, you can even start late if you need to.
Your listening materials can be whatever you want, anime, podcasts, youtube videos, audiobooks, TV, JLPT listening quizzes - you name it, anything goes as long as it is something in Japanese “Listening” can be interpreted creatively, if that helps keep you motivated!
