July 2025 Listening Challenge

Watching this month off with the first ever 仮面ライダー without subtitles at all, feeling truly inspired from the time I sat down and intensively watched OOO at host family’s through presumably a Japan-exclusive streaming service, even though said streaming service just didn’t have any subtitles at all? I wish I could understand more than 10% of this.

I should probably go back to ふたりはプリキュア at some point.

Also trying this routine with those bilingual language learning books where I listen without reading, then listen with reading (underlining unknowns), read without listening (with in-book lookups but hardly ever looked at the bigger translation), and then listen without reading again but even though I recognized more the second listening without reading, I was still really distracted?
