I finished all of マリア様がみてる | L27 anime - that was incredible! Definitely a lot of “listen, check EN subs, relisten”. A lot of the time I could recognize things sufficiently on the 2nd listen-through. Sleep deprivation + binge watching didn’t exactly help… but like I just couldn’t let go of it. Definitely had some vocab I learned from reviews pop up. Now I’m watching ストロベリー・パニック S1 | L26 and it’s painful so far (the 4th episode is decent b/c it doesn’t feature the main couple/Shizuma)
マリア様がみてる 2 黄薔薇革命 | L29 light novel - 54% through. I had to pause yesterday b/c I was too sleep-deprived, but hopefully I can finish tonight or tomorrow at latest. So I should be able to get started on LN 3 over the weekend.
Finished translating reviews for 転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 | L32 and 転生王女と天才令嬢の魔法革命 3 | L32 in my lesson. While I have something of my own voice, my writing skills (and conversation) are underdeveloped to a point that a lot of it really reflects how my teacher would put stuff more (the balance varies, depending on the review). It’s a great learning experience though, and making me want to work on my writing and grammar more. So time to finally crack open Tobira, and track progress in the study group. Incidentally, someone just gifted me a journal + pen, so I guess I’ll use that to practice my writing. I can only imagine (or hope) this will help my comprehension too
