Its good to hear you’re interested in studying again! I, too, stopped at the beginning of the year so I completely understand how tough it gets. I really slowed down in the last 3 months as well but hey, as long as you’re doing something everyday, you’re progressing.
I remember watching a Nintendo mini direct and understanding the release date of a game mentioned in japanese (冬休み). First time understanding kanji in the wild and it was a great indicator that I was progressing even though I may not feel like that sometimes.

If you’re interested, take a look at the Level 7 Leaderboard group. There’s a lot of people at different levels just working at their own pace. We just have each other on leaderboards to see progress, encourage each other or just relax and talk! Might help to see a lot of us just struggling alongside you lol
