Japanese Language Listening

I did my listening practice while eating lunch today, so I thought itโ€™d be nice to update before I continue with my work.

I watched a few videos from ใ‚ใ‹ใญ็š„ๆ—ฅๆœฌ่ชžๆ•™ๅฎค and Speak Japanese Naturally. I Loved these two videos:

  1. Buy cake at a Japanese cake shop [link]

  2. Japanese Listening Practice with furigana [link]

It was fairly easy to understand. The videos aligned really well with my current language knowledge, and the difficulty was around N4.

I really enjoy Speak Japanese Naturally because the videos are so relaxing and calm, but I wish eng subs were optional. I usually completely avoid looking at the english subtitles, but sometimes itโ€™s hard because my brain gets lazy. So I try to watch videos from this channel only once or twice a week.

quick reflections
  • I really cannot comprehend numbers and months in Japanese yet. If itโ€™s SRS practice, then I take my time to think about it, but usually itโ€™s very difficult for me to understand T_T
  • I learnt actively this time, and looked up some vocabs I didnโ€™t know + added them to my Bunpro review pile. Excited to see if I can recall the meanings when I review them later today.
  • Lastly, I think Iโ€™ve depended too much on picturing kanji, because now I take more time to recall the meanings when I can only hear the word. Might need to think about this more, and change the pattern. Also hoping that Iโ€™ll eventually get used to hearing words as well (thanks to this challenge)
