Today I listened to
MIU404 Episode 1 for the third time. For the 58 minute episode it took me an hour and 7 minutes this time around! Which lined up with my goal of not too much rewinding/lookups. I feel good about how much I was able to understand!! But I also kind of feel like I cheated, even if that maybe doesn’t make sense lol. Because I understand it because I grinded it so much yesterday, and all the lines are fresh in my head. But surely that’s not entirely a bad thing? I also think knowing what they’re saying is helping me to recognize better and be able to catch it when they’re talking really fast. So yeah, I feel a little bit like I’m cheating, or that maybe it’s not as helpful as I think? Buttt I also figure, worst case scenario, it’s helpful, but not the absolute most effective thing. But I enjoy it! So sometimes that’s what’s more important right
