TLDR: I am trying to figure out how to tackle continuing Japanese education in a structured format as someone who has passed N1 already and no longer has regular immersion in my day to day.
I used to use Japanese every day at a high level for work, but after a recent role change, I have lost basically all immersion. Japanese means the world to me, and I don’t want my fluency to dull. But without that regular high level engagement, I know I’ll get rusty, even if I don’t “forget”.
Most study guides or tutoring plans that I see are geared towards the JLPT. While I can always go back and review my N2 & N1 materials, I passed both tests already, so it’s not really what I’m looking for. Generic advice like “watch the news” or “read a book” doesn’t work well for me – I need the structure of a tutor or a study guide with graded work/a set end goal.
Does anyone know of additional study guides or coursework that is specifically geared towards high fluency learners? Or tutors who specialize in working with people N1+?
