the forking path didn't lead me to chinese today, but I still needed to hear some before going to bed to meet my objective for this challenge : listening practice every single day !

45 minutes
0.75h

I'm still not bored of PJ masks! short and dynamic stories. Now that i'm getting used to it, the speech speed is less and less a problem. Nailing it !

I wandered on "听故事学中文" (difficult to find free stories) and iq.com (I'm not at that level yet!),
and finally went back to PJ mask, 睡衣小英雄第一季

No time to search for new listening ressources today, so Mandarin corner again! (I love those videos)

I agree they are underrated! It's nice to get used to the different accents and how people really talk.

1 episode of pyjamask, but several times and at 0.75x normal speed. quite difficult for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvlufiN_jOA&list=PLuwtmsV1B-OixixxqVMCSE36ZyTxXriji&index=52

Following Yafinka's report, I watched 西游记 ep 1-8. The story is told with a clear enounciation and using accessible vocabulary (the illustrations help a lot too) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhsG3GQSPCs
I also wandered on WordSwing and tried some chinese text games as hinted by Olle. I had a lot of fun with the beginning of "Pepper and Carrot" and "Murder in the tea room" (no reading, only listening for the challenge). https://wordswing.com/activities
