Participation
in Chinese listening challenge, January 2024



120 minutes
2.0h

I clocked a fair few hours in this challenge, but most where while doing other things. Since last May's listening challenge, I started listening regularly to radio and podcasts though, and can feel some progress.
Had I not focused on listening though, I would have read more this month.
Thus I started wondering about a monthly challenge including two skills.
In any case, thanks for sharing resources, I added a fair few things to my list this month.

Spent the day alternating between RTI and RFI (French Radio in Chinese). I also listened again to Learn Mandarin Taiwanese podcast for election-related vocabulary, and listened to the free Journey To The West audiobook episode 24. (imagin8press.com) --> LINK EDITED

Hello, Tikaf. I tried to go to imagin8.com but got redirected to BriteLabs, an agency for digital marketing. I wanted to see if I could understand any of the audiobook.

For others info it's https://imagin8press.com/. You can also search YouTube. Thanks for the link!

Thanks for pointing out the mistake StevenChina. For additional info, on the website there's a downloadable Excel spreadsheet for each episode, with all the words used in that particular episode.
