  1. I crossed 150 listening hours yesterday and hit wanikani 10 which was my 3 month goal. Only 10 or so days late. Very happy with that.

    So far so good on how things are feeling. For the 6 month mark on Jan 20th I’m targeting 325 hours listening and Wanikani 20!

  4. Now, I think I found the criteria for what I want in an interesting Japanese book. Something that is a little lower than my current level but requires some inference and thought on my part about the text. 魔女の宅急便3 is SO interesting. I liked the first 2 books as well, but this time with this next book I am reading it at a greater pace, and I really don’t want to put it down.

    Anyone else feel that way with a book they’ve read before or recently?
