The last entry in my reading journal! In this category, I talk about the books that I am currently reading.

June wrap-up and reading challenge update!

by Inhae

I haven’t read that much in June compared to the previous months, but I still managed to complete my June challenge of 4 books.

My goal is to read novels in Japanese so I mainly try to improve my reading skills.

Japanese News: I will pick one or two topics each month and study articles about them. I hope this can help you to start reading the news in Japanese if this is one of your goals.

Inhae reads the news: June 2020

by Inhae

The three topics I chose to study this month are: the George Floyd protests, the death of Shigeru Yokota and North Korea's threats.

JLPT N1

I have passed the JLPT N1 in July 2019, so it looks like my JLPT adventure is over. However, I still need to progress and learn new vocabulary, and taking the JLPT was a fantastic motivation. As a result, I have decided to take the JLPT N1 every year in December, with the goal of getting better scores each year. I hope that this external motivation will help me to keep on learning new words, new grammar, and improving my reading and listening skills.
