👂Receiveing sounds and voices.
↪︎ 聞く: to hear(unconsciously)
↪︎ 聴く: to listen(with concentration)
Depending on the attitudes, Japanese distinguish two words.

授業をぼんやりと聞く。🤤
Jugyōwo bon-yarito kiku.
I hear the lesson vaguely.
授業をまじめに聴く。🧐
Jugyōwo majimeni kiku.
I listen to the lesson seriously.
Besides, “聞く” means “to ask” also.(=質問する shitsumonsuru)
