I have a goal for the year of 250 hours of listening, and year to date I’m on 200 hours. I’m trending pretty well and I want to make some room for other activities so this target is going to be less aggressive than other months where I’ve participated, but my goal for this month is 20 hours.
At the moment this is likely going to be made up of Persona 3 Reload and some anime (starting with Made In Abyss and Assassination Classroom).
Goal for this month: 15h

Watched Perfect Days | L24 tonight. Pretty good movie, but I feel like I can only reasonably count like 30 minutes of it as listening practice (if even that much); so much of it was quiet, contemplative silence.
Goal : 30 hours. Dreaming Spanish videos, tv shows, podcasts and audiobooks
First week update!
I’ve sort of given up on finding a show to watch, nothing seems to grab my attention, so I am back to podcasts. I say podcasts plural, but really it’s only Didi’s Korean Culture Podcast, as podcasts geared towards natives are still out of my comfort zone.
I am managing one episode on most days, sometimes two or three, so this is cruise speed.
A little under 5 hours so far
Hello all! 
Recently I’ve been keen on improving my listening skills, so I thought I’d rejoin you this month.
Week 1
Audiobook - 鴨川食堂 = 13+20+33 = 66m
YouTube = 10m
Podcasts= 20m
Movie - 蛍火の杜へ = 40m
TV Show - しあわせな結婚 = 22m
Anime - Summer Pockets = 5m
Anime - リヴァイアサン S1 = 23m
Anime - からかい上手の高木さん S1 = 48m
Total so far
66+10+20+40+22+5+23+48 = 234 minutes
234/60 = 3.9 hours
I’m going to step it up next week to get on track for 30 hours this month
