I got into reading and got vocab to HSK Level 6 (reached just very recently, with SRS via cnpy for Pinyin first, and meaning check with LLM), but reading comprehension remains left to be desired. I read Chinese (mostly VN) almost everyday, regardless.
Listening got fair comprehension, but it depends on the materials – as expected.
I didn’t touch speaking or chatting at all. Maybe I am just socially shy, but could still be possible with some push. (Making it sustain could need a harder and more creative push.)
My study for Chinese was moved to this forum. [CN] polv's Chinese learning log
Listening to audiobook without text is possible for most part, but still feel not worth it at this point. I don’t want to miss many things.
I barely listen to news at all.
Manga magazines too, not yet. I will try again the upcoming year. I don’t particularly care about web novels or news. I could change my mind, but I don’t want to make it a new goal.
Light novels series, may be more or less. Manga, probably also. Maybe I’ll count later.
For the new year, 2026, more grammar for Chinese, and manga magazine for Japanese. (Year 2026 Post later.)
