Oh tadoku. What a great way to start off the year.

Oh tadoku. What a great way to start off the year.
Time to review what I read.
Reading in a foreign language can be an intimidating task for any language learner, regardless of level. There will always be harder material to read. Extensive reading is a staple of language learning for a lot of people, and it is gaining popularity through the web. And what better way to kick off the new year than with a month of extensive reading?
So, I didn’t make a pre-Tadoku post like I usually do, so here’s a 多読コンテスト中 post. This one is actually 2-week experiment, and our total page count won’t be affected by this contest. But that’s no reason not to sign up. Registration is still open(and will stay that way until the 24th, so get on it!) Details below.
キタ!
It’s time for the first round of Tadoku: 2012 Edition.
I already know I won’t be reading much because I’ll be too busy practicing my speaking with my host mom, dad, and several strangers. And possibly a takoyaki stand owner, but that’s a story for another post.
Still gonna try to shoot for the goal I set for myself at the end of the last round, 4325.18 pages(!!).
That’s a lot of manga reading to and from school.
Yet another month has passed.
Another awesome month of crazy Japanese improvement.
I once again reached my goal of doubling my page count from the previous contest and I have to say, I think I could’ve tripled it.
