She was awfully quiet all morning and says she changed her build which implies she played a bit... She was level 14 at the end of last stream, knowing her, I'm gonna guess she starts this one at 30.

Nice to see you are making progress in reading, that can be the biggest hurdle at first for sure. I highly recommend watching a lot of content with Japanese subtitles if you aren't doing that already like the other anon suggested. Japanese clips are almost always subtitled, so these are a good start because they are fairly short, target the same kind of vocabulary you are likely to hear in a stream and it may even help you get used to a particular voice. Anime and voice acted video games (ideally RPGs or VNs so you can take your take to read and mine before you advance the text) are the best for mining because you have exposure to lots and lots of different words, spheres of vocabulary and different voices. While consuming content with Japanese subtitles is not listening comprehension practice per se, it will help you bridge the gap a bit by training reading and listening at the same time and growing your vocabulary through mining. By reading the word and hearing it at the same time, it'll help you associate the way words are written with their sound and the context in which they are used which can be especially crucial in Japanese because of the large number of homonyms. I have never actually done any isolated listening training other than watching streams. As long as you build your vocabulary and practice listneing by watching streams whenever you can, you will keep getting better at it. It's just a matter of investing time for the most part.
It sucks that you have to miss a lot of streams due to your change in working hours, but it might actually be beneficial when training your listening because you can pause an archive at any time and relisten to a sentence as much as you want to try and figure out what was being said, which is a luxury you don't have when watching live.

Cute sneeze!

I love you Fubuki.
