I listened to 野ギツネ just now. I read aloud too, so as not to make “active listening” a failure (and it’s not really intensive, yet).
Interestingly, 野ギツネ can be read with 野ギツネ; and only the latter is in JMdict (Jisho), while the former is pronounced in this chapter’s title.
- The sound change here is similar to 野良猫, btw.
Actually, I listened to Podbean’s podcast yesterday, while doing physical exercise, as well. It gave a different feel, for a different occasion, that I want to reach. (Unlike Anime, Youtube, VN, games, etc.) Needless to say, I don’t understand much, though I do catch some words and structures. I am doubtful to how much it will help with overall listening improvement…
I might uninstall (or just ignore and turn off notifications) for audiobook.jp Android app. It gives too many notifications. Also, I prefer podcasts to audiobooks right now.
Actually, I notice that I am ahead of Zakarius, the introducer of Hukumusume, and many other people here, by one day (because of my timezone). It might seem to be the case for a while, as I will probably always read in the morning (of GMT+7; though Japan is in GMT+9), when I am certain that I have some spare time (and have concentration power).
