Day 1, 4 ๆ 1 ๆฅ 
I listened to the audio provided for the first chapter reading exercise of Tobira. Even though itโs not even 5 minutes long itโs really exhausting because itโs so far above my level. I usually listen to it while reading (or at least trying to read) along.
I think this was my third time going through it? This time I had read a translation beforehand so a lot more words were recognizable, but it was still too much for me to attempt to translate on my own. But being able to follow along when your brain hooks onto words or sentences you recognize and going โoh hey, this is talking about castle so-and-so, I know where I am in the textโ is also a useful skill to have.
