To make it even harder for myself, I waited until many years later to actually take on this task. Nope, not only did I just recently start (like in the past year), but I also decided to challenge myself by taking the JLPT.
The JLPT is the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, and is given world-wide to those intrepid students who want to pursue a full-fledged life with the Japanese language. It's given once a year in December outside of Japan in most major cities. All you have to do is sign up and then study. Study like you've never studied before. Remember final week? Well, extend that for an entire year and you have an image of what I've been doing lately. In addition to our business, the household, bills, hobbies (when I have time), and any other emergencies that catch my eye for that moment.
I became a permanent fixture with Fedex and USPS as they delivered so many packages from Japan. If you want to get to know your delivery driver, take the JLPT!
