(Re)learning Japanese | Tadoku challenge, book review & JLPT N1? | Japanese language update

Welcome to yet another Japanese language update!
It has been three months since I started to relearn Japanese and I've been making really great progress. In the last two months I finished the N3 & N2 decks, I participated in the Tadoku reading challenge (and failed miserably), I built a solid reading habit, and read a few really good books. I might (have to) take the JLPT N1 in the summer, so I might prepare for that, but we'll see what happens over the next few days.
