April 19th! Today I watched the final episode of Rilakkuma and Kaoru. I’ve really enjoyed it, so I think I’ll watch Rilakkuma’s Theme Park Adventure next. I also ended up watching the video linked above by @Zakarius, because who can resist clicking on such a cute dog? 😁 ([Home Post](https://community.wanikani.com/t/listen-every-day-challenge-spring-2023/61036/9)) ---

### 🌶 April 19 Played a few more hours of Zero Escape: 999. Learned real history and science from this game today. Listening went more smoothly than yesterday too. Maybe I just started to feel a rhythm with the game flow. Also watched episodes eight and nine of Quartet on Netflix. At some point, in the span of time between starting this series and now, something must have clicked. While I did my viewing with subs, they were merely glanced at, rather than read, and I felt invested in the story more than ever. ---

20/04/2023 🧚 [Home Post Link](https://community.wanikani.com/t/listen-every-day-challenge-spring-2023/61036/16) 2 episodes of Nihongo Con Teppei today. I’ve also started watching some on-going anime, and although it’s for entertainment, I’ve been trying to focus on just the audio sometimes. It’s actually pretty fun to concentrate and notice vocab or grammar every now and then! also I’m enjoying Skip to Loafer v v v v much ---

[**Home Post**](https://community.wanikani.com/t/listen-every-day-challenge-spring-2023/61036/7) 🐣 **April 19th** I listened to Nihongo con Teppei episodes 145-150 and Japanese with Shun episodes 6, 7 and 9. Episodes 7 and 9 were very similar because they covered the topics work and dreams as a child respectively. So he ended up talking about his work in both of them. **April 20th** I couldn’t resist watching the puppy video. 🐕 So cute! Thank you, @Zakarius! Afterwards I watched Akanes Kanagawa vlog but I didn’t like it. It seemed like there were two paid promotions going on in the same video which felt a bit too much for my taste. They also started speaking chinese at one point. My understanding was okay I think. It wasn’t as good as other videos I’ve watched so far but it wasn’t terrible. (Of course I didn’t understand the chinese part at all because I don’t study the language. But at least I got a bit of reading practice because I tried reading the japanese subtitles instead.) ---

April 20th! Today I watched the first episode of Rilakkuma’s Theme Park Adventure. It was cute and I’m glad to see that other characters like Tokio and Hayate-kun are still included. ([Home Post](https://community.wanikani.com/t/listen-every-day-challenge-spring-2023/61036/9)) ---

**April 20** 🏰 🎧 I finished my first audiobook! 19 hours of listening, phew! Towards the end, there were parts I didn’t even bother reading, hearing them was enough. To be fair, the book was on the easy side, but it’s still definite progress compared to the beginning. Too bad I didn’t particularly enjoy it. I could have done without the sentimental music and all the sobbing and shouting and timid whispering. I can understand emotion without it being shoved down my throat, thank you. I’ll definitely look for less theatrical audiobooks in the future. I already have another audiobook underway (not as easy though, so I don’t expect to not need the text at any point), and I’m thinking of possibly making it a habit if I can. ---

I can understand emotion without it being shoved down my throat, thank you. Yikes! That would annoy me to no end. My biggest pet peeve: airplane sounds when a character goes to another city/country. It’s like they’re afraid I’ll think the character magically transported or something. ---

### 🌶 April 20 Put some more time into Zero Escape: 999. Can’t really say how much listening practice it ended up being. I reached the end of the week’s assigned section after around an hour and stopped there. Though I had time to watch a movie tonight I opted to finish the Quartet series and then re-watch the second episode of 極主夫道 the live action series. 極主夫道 has never been available in my IME the way it’s written until just now btw. I’ve had a reason to use the user defined dictionary for a while but only just thought to apply it. 🍰 🍨 Comprehension levels were not great during either show but I laughed and I cried. Having read 極主夫道, I always expect to be better with it than I end up being. The live action version though, while it draws from the same well as the anime, it has additional major characters and slight variation from the manga punchlines. ---

> [@Aynnej](#): > > My biggest pet peeve: airplane sounds when a character goes to another city/country. It’s like they’re afraid I’ll think the character magically transported or something. 🤣 Well, no airplane in this one, but there were background sounds throughout, some of them even causing me to look around for the source before realizing they were part of the audiobook. I think this counts as good production that paid attention to detail, but yeah, it just annoyed me. ---

### 🌶 April 21 Made a trip to Chinatown for tea and snacks. Listened to thirty minutes or so of The Murders in the Rue Morgue from the Japanese translated Edgar Allen Poe collection. Second time through now. Noticeable improvement. Endured two thirds of the video javerend shared. There was listening comprehension involved until aspects of the video production forced me to quit. Wasn’t much today but it will have to do. ---

[**Home Post**](https://community.wanikani.com/t/listen-every-day-challenge-spring-2023/61036/7) 🐣 **April 21st** I watched two Comprehensible Japanese videos about holidays in Japan. One was about [Setsubun](https://youtu.be/kESu1IcVfnk) and the other one was about [Halloween](https://youtu.be/eNQ4top7znE). **April 22nd** Today I watched more videos than usual. I was quite motivated because most of them didn’t feel that challenging and I’m in a good mood because the weather is great today. I watched a lot of stuff on Naoko’s channel today. The first video was about [simple conversations](https://youtu.be/pC2pRDL-WoY) and I felt pretty accomplished because I could understand everything. Of course it’s very basic stuff but I wouldn’t have been able to understand everything this well a year ago. After that I clicked on the [pizza vlog](https://youtu.be/tbwtyG5-TZA) because pizza is delicious. 🍕 It turned out to be frozen pizza (boo!) but I still learned quite a few new words and could understand everything pretty well. The third video was about [三色丼](https://youtu.be/93jA650mKvo) which is a popular dish to cook at home in Japan. I’ve never heard of it before but it seems like an easy recipe and it looks delicious. Same as before, understanding wasn’t a big problem and I learned some new words. Then I wanted something a little more challenging so I picked Akane’s video about [apartments in Tokyo](https://youtu.be/lVSJn53pUsI) where she explained some useful vocabulary too. Some parts were a bit tricky - especially when they talked about the deposit and other money related stuff. When I rewatched it and read the subs I was able to catch a lot more.
