I am currently living in Japan at N3/2 level. I studied at university but found that the course required us to learn too fast and so I struggled to remember what I learned across 4 years of my course.
My course was structured strangely with a year abroad in Japan where I learnt things in a different order / method. This makes my knowledge of japanes strange where some N1 concepts I understand while some things from N4/3 I struggle to remember or understand. The same goes for my kanji and grammar. I understand some really difficult kanji, yet struggle to remember even the most basic ones.
Since. Graduating I've reset my Japanese learning and started near from N4 to recap everything until I hit N2 by myself in my own time.
Now that I can use the language more and I am in Japan, I am trying to learn words that are useful for daily life and not strange words that are usually learnt in textbooks in Genki or Tobira.
To you, what is the most important Japanese that you've learnt?
