I am seriously impressed by the numbers you're able to routinely put up. Now that you have done over 12k minutes in listening, would you say that you've noticed a difference in your ability to hear/listen/pick up more? I tend to notice that I "jump" in skill after every 10k or so minutes invested into listening. I'm curious as to what you've noticed so far in your korean.


Keep up the excellent work!

I can definitely tell that my listening is improving. There were a few broadcasts of NCT Night Night that I watched/listened to that I could understand a fair amount of, and I could understand a lot of My Neighbor Totoro when I watched that. I feel like the most difficult things to listen to are Vlives where the volume and audio quality aren't always the best, but that's kind of to be expected I guess. Also, I definitely understand the Iyagis a lot faster than I did originally. When I first listened to the Iyagis I remember there would be times where I would hear a lot more on the second or third listen. That still happens to some extent, but now I can hear and understand a lot from one listen. I also notice myself picking out more words and phrases when listening to songs as well, but that's still pretty hit or miss.

Eng Subbed Videos: I finished watching episode 14 of Omniscient Interfering View and started watching episode 2 of New Journey to the West 5. The second episode was subbed much more quickly than the first, so that was a nice surprise.

Audio: I listened to two Iyagis.

Reading: I read more of Fruits Basket.

KGIU, Anki, journal entry, daily Naver Dictionary conversation, Lingodeer: ✓ Today's KGIU Lesson was about -았/었던.

I wasn't able to watch as much as usual yesterday, and for that I blame NCT 127. You see, it all started at noon, when the MV for the English version of their new song was supposed to be released. It was, in fact, not released at the scheduled time. At the same time, the song was premiered on some Apple radio thing, so I did listen to it there as well as a bit of their interview. It interrupted my Anki reviews because I felt the need to check whether or not the MV had been posted yet every two minutes or so. Then, when it was finally posted, I had to watch it a few times of course, so that further delayed my reviews. It didn't end there though. Later in the day they recorded their performance of their new song for Jimmy Kimmel, and they performed a few of their other songs as well, so then I had to watch the fancams of those. Then, at night, I had to watch their performance when it aired on Jimmy Kimmel. Also, before that I first had to figure out what channel ABC was on my TV. Their performance was at the end of the show, so I was watching Omniscient Interfering View on my IPad while I waited, but it was hard to concentrate. In conclusion, it was an irregular day.

Eng Subbed Videos: I watched three Stray Kids Vlives, episode 5 of The Great Escape, and a little bit more of episode 15 of Omniscient Interfering View.

Unsubbed Videos: I watched a random vlog. In order to find some vlogs I searched for "부산" on YouTube. My logic was that searching a city name would bring up vlogs since vloggers like to vlog their trips.

Audio: I listened to two Iyagis.

Reading: I finished reading volume 5 of Fruits Basket.
