笑顔でウィンク

I'm doing a project for one of my classes related to collected advice for students studying Japanese (and maybe also some for future instructors). There's a lot about my project that isn't fully concrete in my head yet, but since I'm conducting interviews with students as a part of it and asking them what their goals are, I thought I'd sort out my own goals in my Japanese study and write them out.

Passing the JLPT N1. I've passed the N2, so N1 seems like a good next step? Anyway, it should be useful for qualifications.

One I thought of was being able to read the newspaper, but when I think about it, there's not really much I want to read in newspapers. I think what I really want to be able to read are things like complex novels or something.

Knowing how to use language to navigate things like business conversations or formal situations. I can handle most casual conversation, but for more formal situations, there's all sorts of politeness and culture that becomes even more important. >_<

Translation/interpretation is something I'm pretty interested in but don't know if I'll ever get work in, but I want to deepen my understanding of both Japanese and English colloquialisms so I can understand how to translate them effectively. It'd be nice to develop my own personal theory of translation. ^^
