When I walk to or from work, I should use that opportunity lest too much time is ‘lost’. I ought to listen to a language or two for part of the way at least.

In terms of what I listen to, a good rule of thumb would be to listen to as much at a time, and at a level, that I can manage to do reading.

So with Dutch I can do anything. With German and Japanese, I can do a chapter’s worth of a familiar book. And with other languages, from a page to five minutes is ample.
