I managed to keep it up for Spring 2026, I want to keep going for Summer 2026 
I’d like to have more focus on novel/light novels this time rather than Manga. Reading manga has been a great confidence booster but I think I need to be exposed to more varied writing styles.
A bit of copy pasta from my listening challenge post:
I’m planning on retaking the JLPT N1 in December to improve from my previous score from 10 years ago. I got 105/180 then which is slightly above the passing grade of 100. I’m also planning on trying to move to Japan in the next year or two via HSP visa.
Apart from Japanese, I am also refreshing my Chinese, which was at intermediate B1-B2 level about 16 years ago but I haven’t kept it up since then. I’ve been working on it for the past two months, 95% on vocabulary lists so I need to include more input and output.
These are part of a project of mine to reach B2 level in 7 languages by the end of 2029. French, English and Japanese are already there. I’m working on Chinese at the moment and will be aiming to get HSK6 in the next year. Then depending on my situation I’ll pick between German (A2?), Italian (B1?) or Korean (A2?).
