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 (end-of-Spring
) 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
Also, next week will be busier than this week; so I have to seize the opportunity, and get into habits.
