polv’s Listening challenge of Summer 2022 (Q3) Home Post
My thoughts on the challenge – Any interest in a listening every day challenge? – polv’s comment
I realized it might be better to make it a real Listening Every Day Challenge. I will track a week at a time, although the real goal is Summer’s first 2 months. After all, quantity matters a lot, at this stage.
Rather than ticking only for listening everyday, I would give credits for listening longer, like 
for ≧30 minutes.

Progress 
(ordering may change)
See more at my all-round topic.
- Committed
- (Now at Ep.12) Death Note – Anime on Netflix (no sub) to watch along with manga
- I won’t watch ahead of manga discussion, nonetheless.
- (Now at Ep.43) HUNTER×HUNTER (1999)
- (Now at Ep.12) Death Note – Anime on Netflix (no sub) to watch along with manga
- Semi-committed
- (Finished) やがて君になる – Anime on Netflix (with sub)
- I think I got somewhat hooked with the series.
- (Now at Ep.2) 進撃の巨人 – Anime on Netflix (without sub)
- mariodesu さん made a reading topic with vocabulary Google Sheets
- (Occasionally) Podcasts on Podbeans
- Singing with sound recording
- (Finished) やがて君になる – Anime on Netflix (with sub)
- Potential
- Listening from teachers (e.g. with grammar)
- Bullets in this list, plus Onomappu – Summary from これからも頑張る’s reply in having 1 year’s time
- I’ll keep my eyes on Japanese side of VTubers as well. Usagi in an above reply is on the radar (as well as the game).
- Apparently, the problem with the games is well… the price tag. (I gotta be very sure before I invest, ok?)
- I am exactly sure VTubers can increase game sales
- Listening from teachers (e.g. with grammar)
- Dropped
- (Now at Ep.4) Samurai Champloo
- (Now at Ep.3) SPY x FAMILY – Anime on Netflix (with sub) to watch along with manga
- Watching ahead is OK for this one. I have finished the first manga volume in advance.
- (Dropped focus at around week 6) Read aloud with sound recording – will be progressed in each week’s home reply
- Probably will be based on 福娘童話集
Personal Background 
I have been to Japan many times. I was an exchange student with some alone travelling time, too. I know what Japanese sounds like, but I had to survive with my smartphone and dictionary app, nonetheless.
Also knows well that immersing in anime and dramas won’t magically work, unless I do something (but of course I don’t know how).
I hope that some clear planning and reflection will help, just like with reading.
