ALT shortlister here! A quick question for all my current & former ALTs out there… how did you continue to brush up on/improve your Japanese? I currently sit somewhere between N4 and N3 and have taken Japanese classes in university in addition to studying abroad. However, I’m graduating in May and that leaves several months before I start my contract. I obviously want to keep my language skills strong, but struggle with finding resources to practice if I’m not in a classroom, and have probably lost some of my day-to-day fluency from when I was there for a semester. What are some things you did to prepare? Any tips or tricks to stay strong and consistent before departure?
