the idol otaku life chose me.

I've found I can learn Japanese from reading, understand a whole set of vocabulary and break down the meaning, I learnt the kana, and feel I've made progression over the past few months with reading and writing, studying about two hours a day on a specific subject. Like numbers/dates, verbs/conjugation and so on.

Now when I listen to Japanese recordings, with dialogue I already know, It's like I don't understand anything that has been said. Even though I technically know the meaning of all the words, hearing it said out loud at natural speed can just lose me and my mind goes blank, so its like I haven't learnt anything.

Is there a good method to improve listening understanding? Should I just replay recordings over and over again until I make sense of it, or are there any techniques to help understand speech?

My approach now is instead of learning Japanese, just learning Genki, I'm trying to understand the whole course inside out before I move onto anything else, which makes the task of learning a new language a bit less overwhelming. But it hasn't helped me understand speech at all.

are there any akb48 t shirts out there that don't suggest total weeaboo, like that don't have big pictures of akb00048 characters across or anything. Like that would just pass as a nice t shirt.

lets have more best watanabe anyway

Milky thread it is.
