I am actually interested to find out how does your roadmap actually looks like. Everyone has different ways and journeys during their progress in learning Japanese, and I thought it would be interesting to hear from your own stories of how you started, how you overcame difficulties, and where you were as you are progressing along your journey in your quest to improve or become really JOUZU in your Japanese.
Some interesting questions would be: “When did you finally think you could start reading popular mangas without too many issues? When did you finally think you have reached a point where you could secretly tell yourself, “damn, I think I’m kinda good now”, or “yes, I am communicating with a native Japanese for reals!”
