@Evita and @Warp3 - Wow, thank you very much! Raving reviews! I don't know how long it will take me before I'm at an advanced level of Japanese, or at least at a level where I can improve by reading and listening a lot, but hopefully TTMIK and LSK and Iyagi are still around then.

Active Practice:
- a very short conversation with Youngbin on Twitter, but nothing really beyond that

I'm rather glad I started reading 와라! 편의점 at Naver Comics a few weeks ago as it has been easy to stay motivated to read it every day and several of the episodes have been quite funny.

You started reading webtoons too? I enjoy them because they're short (as in they don't run for 90834589735 years like Japanese manga) and perfect for my level (I understand roughly 90% of the webtoons I read.)

A while back I tried reading a few of the Naver comics and they all seemed beyond my level, but when I came back and tried 와라! 편의점 again recently I was surprised to find that I actually understood it. I still don't catch every word, but I get enough to understand what is going on without having to look anything up. The best part is since the difficulty level still allows me to get the gist of it, I've been reading it 100% extensively thus far (no lookups, no SRS additions, etc. just reading and enjoyment).

That's how I read every webtoon. There are some where my comprehension may only be 70-80%, but simply reading a lot helps. The pictures help give context, too. I learned some words and phrases just through reading webtoons a lot.

트위터에서 더 자주 만나요. 헤헤~ (그런데 제가 트위터를 별로 안해서...ㅋ)
웹툰 이야기 하시니까 많이 어렵지 않으면서도 재밌는 웹툰 추천할께요.
마린블루스 : http://www.marineblues.net/ 이건 사실 좀 오래된 웹툰인데, 거의 우리나라에서 웹툰이라는게
처음 나올때 인기있었던 웹툰이에요.
그리고 같은 작가가 지금 연재하고 있는 '마조와 새디'라는 웹툰도 재밌어요. 젊은 부부의 이야기라서 여러가지 유용
한 표현을 배울 수 있지 않을까? 하는 생각이 드네요. :)
