  • cheated today and looked up the word 壺 (it’s recommended when reading the readers not to look up unknown words but to try and work out their meanings from the context & pictures). 壺 sounded very familiar and the picture wasn’t enough of a context to satisfy me - looked it up & then remembered the vase/fortune teller scene in Samurai Champloo

:question: Title Type Natively Progress
:judge: 逆転裁判1 game ??? :arrow_forward: 3/5 cases
:guitar: ふつうの軽音部3 manga 23 :white_check_mark: 54% → 100%
:lion: ダンジョン飯 13巻 manga 30 :pause_button: 51%
  • 逆転裁判: Finished case 3! Will break by reading another prose book before swinging back around. Don’t want to say I was finding it easy by the end because there was still a lot of lookups, but definitely finding my flow.
  • Girl Meets Rock 3: Finished! I think generally the hardest thing in the book is the liberal use of 関西弁 because it’s a bit trickier to search if you don’t recognise it off the bat. Still really enjoying myself, great songs this vol.
  • Now need to decide a next manga read and a new prose read. The manga read is easy enough due to prior polling, but not sure about prose yet…

Wellllll I did go ahead and finish the first story in the collection :see_no_evil: But I’ll reread (or at least re-skim) along with the group–maybe that will help me solidify new vocabulary.

The first volume of ダンジョン飯 is currently free on BookLive, so I started reading that. Fantasy vocab is all new to me :woman_elf:

  • Evening, everyone! Today was a reset day for me. Took some time to get some air and take care of some things. I sat by a pond for half an hour just absorbing the atmosphere and listening to the sounds. Very nice ^___^.

  • I actually did a decent amount of reading today! Spent some time rereading through Volume 4 of Frieren since last week I read it in many small spurts. Alongside reading, I also did some chatting in Japanese, and did some active / passive immersion with YouTube.

  • My goals for tomorrow are to read about 40 more pages of Frieren, and do about an hour of listening (to podcasts and such).

Good Luck to everyone on their reading and language learning goals!! 頑張って! :tea:

Another week down! Some days better than others (I’m looking at you Thursday).

Saturday was pretty successful and I managed to finish the latest IBC read only a day behind schedule. I’ve managed to refrain from reading ahead on a few things I’m tempted to due to my other commitments. I need to finish the readings for ホリミヤ and Spy Family for last week and this week, then try to catch up on my reading leeches!

Busy day and focused on other stuff so I only read a tiny amount of ビブリア古書堂の事件手帖 (82% → 83%)

For a moment I thought you meant characters as in people and thought “Wow, no wonder ISLAND is such a long game!” trunky_rolling

Hehe, no, it’s long, but not that long! About 800.000 characters all in all, the equivalent of 2000 pages in a normal book…

I do so many lookups even when I feel like I should know the word, even if I’m slightly unsure of the reading. Especially when reading out loud. I’m the type to look up words when reading in english too. If jisho/yomitan/takoboto are my best friends, merriam webster is my next best friend. At least when reading ebooks. It’s been a while since I’ve read physical japanese books, so can’t comment on that.

Day 15: Just read a couple of pages today because I was feeling rather sick, just to keep the streak going.

Always so happy when I’m able to read longer words like 発明品 or 襲撃事件 just because I’ve already encountered the individual kanji is other words~ it just affirms that my learning style of not actually learning is working really well.
