I can barely motivate myself to stick to my gym routine, if I added language practice as well, I'd probably do less of each.

I pretty much listen to Chinese every minute I do someting that does not require particular forebrain activity. My main problem is boredom and zoning out when I listen only to Chinese. So I listen to Chinese Youtube content while I do chores, drive my car, walk on the treadmill, clean, or queue at the supermarket checkout. In sum those are hundreds or even thousand hours per year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmayo Posted October 21, 2022 at 07:02 AM Report Share Posted October 21, 2022 at 07:02 AM If it's broadly comprehensible even though you're not paying attention, that's great. If it's not broadly comprehensible without paying attention, then I used to wonder - following Imron's rule that you should train what you want to achieve - whether I was training myself to 'hear without paying attention', training myself to 'not bother listening closely', to 'tune out' when hearing Chinese. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
