📚📚 Read every day challenge - Spring 2022 🌸 🌱

I have heard about “bias” = 推し before, but I don’t get its origin. K-Pop (Korean)?

I think it is weird by using in an English sentence, but I am not a native speaker.


Jun 30, Thu of Week 1 of Summer :beach_umbrella: (end-of-Spring :cherry_blossom:) 2022

I read How to use でも today, while listening to Japanese News (FNN Live, MBS).

  • I chose grammar point by – 1. interesting topic 2. cover many JLPT N’s.
  • I started from JLPT N5, but the grammar point may cover other levels.
  • Sentences in the topic will naturally have other grammar points as well.
  • I did learn something new today, or at least makes me strongly notice.
  • As I go through a lot of small sentences ordered grammatically, it might be more worthwhile than breaking down WaniKani Context Sentences (for now).

About background listening, I still look at the video from time-to-time, so sometimes I infer meaning from sound, and sometimes from writing (sometimes at vocabulary level, sometimes at Kanji level). It reminds me that I need to learn much more, as my listening is far far from sufficient. (Also, my reading speed can be improved.)

  • I was watching about heat-related illness and deaths, btw.
  • It does take my attention away from grammar, so I have to pause (once) as well.

Actually, I tried with LOOPERS first, but some of the sentences aren’t spoken. News is generally more interesting (for now), anyway.

I am still looking for easier, yet immersive, Japanese games (saw some above). Yet, limited mostly by – the price tag.

I read aloud 童話, progressed in another topic, which I really plan to do everyday. I generally take about 50-100% longer than the native audio.


I will progress in the newer topic tomorrow :beach_umbrella: :sunny: :sunglasses:

Also, next week will be busier than this week; so I have to seize the opportunity, and get into habits.
