It was easy to watch an episode or two of Japanese TV every day. I had the week off work, I wasn’t doing any lesson prep or teaching, and I had good chunks of time to myself each day. I spent the first week of September helping my brother move house. I thought this would be easy – I already watch quite a lot of Japanese TV.īut just like my exam “revision”, it didn’t exactly go to plan… Week One – A Promising Start But later on, I discovered Japanese TV, and found it a fun and interesting way to develop my listening skills.Īs one of my monthly challenges this year, I decided to watch Japanese TV every day for a month. I gave up on watching Japanese films for a while after that. Or, probably, I should have watched something easier. I should have watched Mononoke with subtitles.
If anything it just left me feeling a bit discouraged. I think I literally caught about two words. It was way too fast for me, and I didn’t understand anything. In my second year of university, when I should have been revising for my Japanese exam, I borrowed the Studio Ghibli film Princess Mononoke (もののけ姫 Mononoke-hime) from a friend and watched that instead.
