Hehe, very nice writing. I'm just at the point where I can appreciate how much work it is - and it's a lot. Reading/writing is especially criminal. The best resource I found so far is http://smart.fm http://smart.fm, both for kanji and vocabulary. It works, but what I lack most is something to read at a 3rd grade - 5th grade japanese. Any ideas? It can be anything remotely interesting, from children's stories to learning materials. Also, if you'd be willing to say more... I'm a lot more interested in how you managed to find qualified work in Japan, especially as a programmer. To be honest, this worries be about the same as the kanji, or more.
