I’ve been wondering for awhile while if its realistic to reach fluency by the end of 2025. I’ve been studying since about 2 1/2 years. But I I would count only one 1 year since I had 0 input and no idea what I was doing before that. I learned in this 1 year about 6500 words, about 23 new a day and since January 3 Kanji a day, which adds to 600 Kanji. I didn’t really pay much attention to grammar since January as well where I am halfway through N4 on Bunpro. I do spent a lot of time on Japanese daily. Atleeeaast 8hrs+ of Listening (podcast),1hr+ on anki, 30min bunpro, 30min Kanji, 1hr+ active immersing on yt/ anime/ Netflix. That’s quite a lot and Im enjoying it and not getting sick of it. Although I remembered my 3300 mined words having the screenshot and audio on the front of the card which was mistake and takes much more time then before, I fixed it now but I can basically fail almost every card since I didn’t payed much attention to the reading.
Anyway the reason why I do have this goal is that I want live in japan for a year in 2026 and be that good in Japanese to have fun and speak freely like I do in English.
My Current Listening skill is around the podcast of Japanese with noriko and teppei in which they said is around upper intermediate and advanced.
What are your guys thoughts on this?
