Tutor lesson and 2 language exchanges today so estimated time spent listening.

1pm and 9pm; listened to 2 episodes of Teatime Chinese. Went ok; didn't understand every word but followed the general gist!

At noon, while cleaning the pool

I'm going to count both Chinese and French for this challenge. I've built up a decent momentum for listening to French podcasts and don't want to ruin that. Today (zh): - 声动早咖啡 x2 - Some rando...

LCTS podcast on iPhone (without access to transcripts)

Listened to DuChinese story The Three Kingdoms, end of part 1 and beginning of part 2. Slowed it to 75%, listened a couple of times, then went back and read the text, looking up some words in Pleco.

Ep. 1 Live Chinese Speaking Dashu Mandarin; Peachy Blossom translation of OSTs (A Journey to Love; Men in Love & a few others). Du Chinese "Three Kingdoms 1: The Beauty Trap"

I listened to the 5-minute Chinese with DaPeng podcast a couple times through, and then spent way too much time looking at different potential podcasts to listen to (instead of just listening!)
