My listening skills are by far my weakest in Japanese. I’m trying to use podcasts (e.g. Nihongo con Teppei, Japanese with Masa Sensei), but what I would really love is WaniKani-specific listening resources.
E.g., someone reading out the example sentences that come with each new vocabulary, or having mini conversations based on the vocab of each level. This would be useful because the words that we learn (especially early on) are not really ‘everyday’ words, so they don’t crop up in general beginner listening resources, but I still want to practice listening to them. Otherwise, what I’m learning to speak and listen to is entirely separate to what I’m learning to read through WaniKani.
Also, I’m hard of hearing and learning to read precisely because it will help me to listen (e.g. with subtitles), so it would be super helpful to have listening resources tailored to WaniKani, even if they’re not ‘everyday’ sentences. I just need practice recognising the sounds of words I know.
I know there are example MP3s on WaniKani for the pronunciation of individual words, but I’d love to hear those words used in sentences – and even better if they can be mixed up, so that what I’m practicing is identifying the words I know in speech, out of context of the written characters.
Does anyone know of anything like this? Thanks!
