Most of the stories on Hukumusume do have audio recordings (as well as the occasional video) and I do usually listen to them, since they can be pretty amusing, but only after Iβve read the story.
This was the first time (I think anyway) listening before reading anything other than the title. Iβve not really been actively focusing on listening much. Iβve been wanting to get a better grasp at reading first so I donβt have to keep stumbling over every other word - and also that by the time Iβve finished reading I usually have no time left to focus on some listening. All the reading has helped pick up more words when listening, but maybe in the next challenge I might start focusing a bit more on active listening learning now that my reading speed is a bit faster.
Glad itβs been going well for you!
