Doing better now. However instead of doing Japanese, Spanish and Irish for 30 mins each, I ended up pumping at least an hour into Japanese and Spanish and next to nothing into my Irish.

I recently found out about Dreaming In Spanish, and have been addicted to that for the last few days. I can understand most of the beginner videos, but I still need a lot of direct studying to do too. So I study for 30 mins then indulge in content for 30 mins.

Nothing close to DiS for Japanese or Irish, but I wish there was.

It's not the end of the day, so maybe I'll pick up my Irish in about 5-10 mins, after I get some more tea. Also Spirit City: Lofi Sessions released their latest DLC today, so I have been slowly accruing the latest pets there. At level 56 so already have all hints unlocked, just putting time into unlocking them now.

Edit: Was told of cijapanese, which is simmilar to DiS, so I've only begun using that. I'm more confused at to what the beginner Japanese is saying compared to the Spanish, but otherwise I get the gist of somethings.

Yeah, Dreaming Spanish is really well organized and pretty fun to listen to. There are a lot of CI channels for Japanese, but usually not as extensive.

Comprehensible Japanese is good like you mentioned.

I really recommend IroiroNihongo. Especially this beginner's playlist was really easy to follow along with.

I also like Akane a lot. Hers are not as easy, but she speaks very clearly and uploads a lot.

Some other channels I have in my subscriptions that might be of interest, but most don't quite scratch the same itch:

Many thanks for the list. It'll take me some time to get through it, but still should be worthwhile. Cheers!
