I was getting a bit worried about how much time you were spending on this since I did not realize those stats at the bottom were cumulative. 7.5 hours of listening in one day would be very impressive!

Do your streaming sources let you turn down the quality? Should help stretch those gigabytes.

Haha, yes cumulative, but hopefully the passive listening will grow each day to where I always have it on in the background while at home.

Yeah I can turn some of them down thankfully.

Also thinking of switching over to SuperMemo for studying the Naver Daily Korean and How To Study Korean sites. I don't study a whole lot on the go but if I want to with SM then I need to get a Surface Go.

If I don't switch to SM I believe I want to build a massive sentence bank in Anki from subs2srs and news stories. I also want to come up with my own course that is kind of a compilation of all the courses. Little grammar explanation but lots of sentences.

Also thinking about making Pimsleur style vocab audio files to put on MP3 to listen to throughout the day.

I didn't get to watch an episode of my drama but part of my passive was active for a few minutes here and there when something piqued my interest.

I need to get back on my Pimsleur lessons as well.

Studies 96 Anki Cards

I did not sleep well last night so today I just did my Anki reviews and new cards that I had added yesterday. I did find a news site that does parallel text for some of their stories so I'm gonig to look into that more.
