🔊 🎙 Listen Every Day Challenge - Winter 2023 ❄ 🧤

Japanese Language Listening
95

Jan 5, Thu of Week 2 of Winter Q1 2023 :snowman::snowflake:

Today I listened to 君の膵臓をたべたい Ch.2 [2/2]. There might be some drama, but still in evaluation period whether I like the story.

Then, So-matome N3 Listening Ch.1 [3/5] about Keigo. I manage to get it correct at 8/10. Explanation is just on the paired page, or by listening carefully in addition to seeing answer keys.

Then, half an episode of 緊急取調室 EP.5. I avoided opening transcript side-panel, but Language Reactor is helpful to make Netflix pause without resting screen (as well as rewinding from next chapter preview and credits).

Then, I listened to JP-CN podcast on Podbean, about horoscopy. It’s a little puzzling when I look up Kanji forms.

  • うさぎ年(どし) (this year) => 卯年(うどし)
  • ねずみ年(どし) => 子年(ねどし)
  • へび年(どし) (somehow IME doesn’t suggest) => 巳年(みどし)
  • 辰年(たつどし) => This one is just as expected. Dragon = 龍 (りゅう / たつ; also 竜).

There are also other unspoken ones, like 午年(うまどし) (the year I think I am born in), and 戌年(いぬどし).
