Allow me to rant for a second about listening

If there’s one thing that I’d ever recommend more than anything else it’s to not let your reading skill overtake listening by too far a margin.

Any time I’m watching an anime and I can’t hear a sentence, I’ll turn on the JPN CC subs and instantly understand it. Like I can’t hear the words I can easily understand when reading.

This is incredibly frustrating, and it’s a self-fufilling cycle because it makes me not want to practice listening. Just gotta keep at it anyways.
