[無馬が街にいた頃] 第43話 (44min)

44 min long episode, I’m happy~

I admire Kanae for how good he is as a 相談役. Helping people with their troubles and relations, thinking two and three steps forward. Being able to see the story from both sides grasping the full situation and coming up with a solution on what to do next. Amazing

Almost was too tired today to do it, but I’d be ashamed to cut my streak now. So even if it’s 1:30 am, I did it!

Today's Video

Watched EP 1 of “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes”, a game which I have seen before. I think this one. Is honestly perfect for language practice/listening, as the game is dependent on talking, but has visual cues to help guide you along, and uses repetitive language.

I felt a little frustrated every time the messed up the red buttons, because the timer digit placement of when to release the button probably matters, if memory serves correct.

・[Kanae/文月かな] GTA stream (2h)
[N1 Grammar] 12 videos (4-8 min each)

This grammar sensei explains in a way that is easy to understand. Each grammar video has example sentences that are spoken out loud. My listening sucks – had to rewind a lot and look at the text. I need to practice more listening to example sentences. Especially numbers and dates - my greatest weakness. (Also cracked open my 新完全マスター文法N1 book and did some quizzing as well. Did 1課 and 2課)

Man, my schoolwork + trying to have a life makes me so busy… But I did listen at least.

Watched EP 2 of “Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes." That Morse Code module is brutal :sweat_smile:

Ahhhh, thank you!! That’s so kind and motivates me too to hear you say that!!! :face_holding_back_tears:

I do still want to make some updates on my Japan travels! But to put part of my experience shortly, I am sooo so happy with how much input and stuff I did before coming, and I actually improved more than I expected :flushed_face: I’m still sometimes shocked at how simple and smooth talking to others is. So I’m very happy!!
So thank you MIU404 for teaching me much :relieved_face: Like 合点承知の助, definitely very important :head_shaking_vertically:

More late-night listening. I really need to make flashcards out of these videos soon… Weekend I guess…

About Today's Listening: 嫌い vs 苦手 nuances

Today I learned that 嫌い is saved for things you truly hate and would never want to touch/interact with, while 苦手 is something you don’t personally like, but understand why others like it/don’t want to hurt the feelings of the person your speaking with so you push it off lightly. Like “Oh, I get why people like chocolate, but it just isn’t for me” vs. “It belongs in the deepest reaches of the dumpster! Don’t ever make me touch, smell, or taste it ever again!!!”

Made some Anki cards out of the Comprehensible Japanese videos I watched. Jumped around a bit in YT playlists today.
