Pretty good! I found some nice, free graded readers in Japanese and have been reading a bunch of the easy ones. They’re so basic and understandable, but most of them have cute little stories that are entertaining in their own right – exactly what I’m looking for out of reading material at my level.

I’ve also been doing some Kanji-based ‘graded reading sets’, but they’re less good. Just random sentences one after another. Still, I think it’s valuable to get a sense of readings for characters.

Another thing, I realized I could switch my chess app to my target language. Not ready to change my phone’s language, so it’s always nice when I find an app I can change individually that I’ll use repeatedly. (Maps is also great for this, I’ve had that one in target language a while.)
