you’re right ! thank you what matters is staying consistent
#11 Sakura Tips, tried the Anizone podcast but couldn’t focus on it, and watched 彼女と彼女の猫 but got very distracted by the sound unbalance.
Yess wonderful mindset

- 2 Japanese Pod 101 podcasts (Lower Intermediate S6 #25 and S5 #1)
- 2 YouTube podcasts from Speak Japanese Naturally (the secondary Podcast channel) - both at the intermediate level. I did read the subtitles a bunch… so it was also kind of speed reading practice as I did not pause or rewind.

1月4日 - watched the ‘2-hr special’ (more like an hour and a half) episode 219 of 名探偵コナン. Only really understood maybe 50% at best. Definitely a harder episode…
I also watched the newest episode that came out today (#1148) - understood maybe 60% or so? But since it was on Crunchyroll, I let myself watch it twice - first without subtitles, and then a second time with subtitles on. Eventually I’ll stop letting myself (or needing/wanting to!) do that…

Listened to Comprehensible Input Beginner Japanese Ep 35 and 36, in which I learned about 雛人形 and 坂本龍馬! A total of 18 minutes.
Plus maybe half an hour of playing “It Takes Two” in Japanese. My partner and I have been playing it for the last year and we started in Japanese. We’re nearing the end now finally!
Did you play it as well? I just love that game in general whether I’m playing it or watching someone play. I hope the other game comes out soon, Haunted Chocolatier.
I really like the variety of materials on Dreaming Spanish! How many hours have you clocked in on there if you don’t mind me asking? I’m thinking of whether or not to renew my subscription.

Today was a bit busier than originally planned, but I was still able to make my goal by listening to bits here and there!
A comprehensible Japanese video
Episode 8 of のんのんびよりりぴーと
Part of なつめさんち’s 2024 gaming recap video. It’s four hours long! But I’ve been enjoying their videos so much I think I’ll end up watching it all haha. Little by little
Yes, I have!! It’s been a while since I’ve played it, but the DS series has made me want to go back to my old farm!! Haha
It’s so cozy, but also watching them play it sometimes I just want to reach through the screen and give them tips like “PABLO!!! Leave some of your tools at home!! Don’t waste star items on jam!!”
Ah, I just hit 600 hours before the new year!! I had been watching 100 minutes a day, which is quite a bit. But I’ve stepped back now a little to be able to focus on Japanese more. Since I used/use it for so many minutes every day the subscription is worth it to me!! But I know its value depends on the person. Like you said, though, one of the biggest advantages is just the variety of content!! And the more they keep adding to it everyday, the more choices there are that personally interest you!
OH MY GOODNESS! LOOK AT YOUUUU! WELL DONE!!! When I was consistent I was only doing 30 minutes a day but that was only for a couple of months. My god what an inspiration! This was also what I was secretly hoping for when I asked. Hahaha. My competitive side makes me want to prove to myself that I can do the same!

How to study the language by level? Target language sub with L1 audio is suggested for intermediate learners.
How to in Chinese. Making sense of words in sentences is too fast for me here.
るろうに剣心 S3E28 with JP sub
I watched 8 minutes of ダン飯. It took longer than 8 minutes.
Today I watched this week’s episodes of のんのんびより
January 5th 
Today I was able to listen to
The first broadcast of Babymetal’s new radio show: メタラジ!! Someone told me they had started a radio program, and it was pretty short! I was able to understand much more than I originally expected, so I was happy! I think it will be easy to keep up with them once a week, so I’m looking forward to listening more! And the guests they’re going to have for the next three shows is 新しい学校のリーダーズ!
Episodes 32 & 33 of Gundam!
Spanish Convo
Ahhh, thank you!! I’m really happy with how much I have been able to learn
I think 30 min a day is a very reasonable and great goal, if that’s what you want to get back to!! I believe Pablo has also said that he thinks 30 minutes a day is a good amount, and enough to be able to see your progress. I believe in you, yOU CAN DO ITT!!
And I love how easy it is on dreaming spanish that it automatically tracks your time and everything, it made it a lot easier for me to stay consistent and push myself!! And if you simply just watch and understand the videos, the method really does work!!
home post eggyolk’s winter 2025 listening challenge
doing this alongside the reading and speak/write everyday challenges. listening to a lot of things lately but primarily re-working through nihongo con teppei and N4/N3 vlogs with japanese subs.
