This is my long overdue TAC 2016 update, and I'll simply list what I am currently doing and my goals for this year.
My main focus, as usual, is Japanese. I have, for the most part, been spending my time passively with the language, and any active or deliberate study (mostly listening and reading) took place during the the early phases of my Japanese journey. I still am listening to music, podcasts, watching drama and anime, listening to some news, but reading fell through the cracks, as well as kanji revision, and any attempt at active output. I continue to improve listening-wise, however, given that no deliberate learning is taking place, but I believe this is due to reaching a point of understanding where I can infer meaning from context. This does reinforce my belief that input does improve ability, whether or not any deliberate study is actually taking place. I understand almost everything I hear. I understand almost everything I read, too, given that I have the on- and kunyomi are in front of me (the more common kanji I get right away), and this is problematic, as written and spoken language are stylistically different, and written language is heavy in vocabulary and descriptive instances. My reading skills are seriously lagging behind.
To rectify this, I have, for the billionth time, started reviewing the kanji (I did Heisig, so I'm just reviewing this now), and will probably be taking notes or making flashcards to drill the readings. I also am planning on reading, LOTS. I have a spectacularly terrible track record at sticking with SRS, and even though I know I'll keep improving anyway if I keep reading, I am not really looking forward to struggling with kanji readings and Rikaisama for help all the time, and really want to see a breakthrough in my reading ability.
Output. Neglected as well. What I have started doing:
Listen on repeat and try to shadow as I go to the point that phrases are memorized. Then I try to use said phrases spontaneously when the context arises. I look up phrases I don't know on google or Hinative, put said phrases in lists or Anki, then try to use these as much as possible. I am actively trying to nail pronunciation by mimicking until I get it exactly right. I write to my friend in Japan and have her correct my writing and be brutally honest with me, even if it means being laughed at (which does happen at times

)
I ordered Lexicarry, a picture book specifically for language learning purposes that was mentioned in the Growing participator approach website, as I feel discussing pictures in the target language, coming up with different versions of the story and different levels of language, helps me like no other. Most of the time, my friend agrees to make recordings, and I add those to my growing audio list and put them on loop. What I'm going to increase, though, is reading the script along with the listening, for the obvious reasons of literacy.
I have honestly tried to start studying grammar actively before. I have a bunch of reference grammars (DBJG, DIJG, DAJG), Nihongo Soumatome, Kanzen Master, etc., but I just.....I don't know. I feel that when I actively read a sentence, try to work out it's meaning from context, discuss it with my friend, use Goo, Weblio, ALC etc, if it's repeatedly showing up, and put that in my non-SRS collection, I retain the grammar better. I just zone out as soon as I start reading rules and inputting example sentences. I guess using Anki will probably be more efficient, but then again, I never stick with it. I'll seriously try to do more of this, though.
Of course, input activities will continue.
Subs2SRS may be my Anki breakthrough. I genuinely enjoy reading and listening to lines from a favorite drama/movie/anime over and over again. And I did notice a spike in my ability to reproduce sentences and phrases faster than just through listening solely. So there maybe something in there for me. I may just Anki subs2SRS, and continue with the other above activities as usual. I'm a hopeless notetaker, but I never open my notes later, and sometimes wonder why I even bothered to save anything. Again, will try to break the sentence-hoarding habit and actually open that Word doc and read through it.
I also recently fished out my Jpod dialogues (the Japanese-only ones without all the explanations) and added that to my listening repertoire. Now that I'm enjoying understanding native content, I find Jpod audio excellent and pretty closer to native than almost anything else. Yes, it's scripted, but that's pretty similar to a slice-of-life anime, and the stories are amusing. The main reason was to use that as shadowing and pronunciation practice, but it also has this uncanny ability to develop earworms that stick for months. I have the full lesson podcasts, but I've never listened to those, or attempted to study using Jpod. It'l be interesting to see how well I'll stick with it, and the effect it has on my language ability overall.
Most of the time though, I'm spending time with the following:
1. 一リットルの涙. Heartbreaking story, but but a wonderful drama. I won't spoil. I'm just finished episode 2. Will probably be subs2srsing it (I'm not using translations, just looking up as I go the first time round, and then trying to remember through context and repetition. Usually the second or third time a round the meaning sticks forever, sometime more for more obscure or less common words.)
2. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. Who doesn't love FMA:B

?
3. ゴストライター. Love the dynamics between the two women, the mystery/thriller but-at-the-same-time-drama/emotional premise, and that BREATHTAKING music. Also just finished episode 2.
4. ノラガミ. An anime adaptation of a favorite manga of mine. Will probably be ordering the manga soon as well.
Books: Even though I said I'll be reading, I haven't started on any books yet. I will probably start the first volume of Sakurada Resetto, the aforementioned manga, and the Milky Way by Miyazawa Kenji. I have the audio for that as well.
And Lang-8. Lots of Lang-8.
Hopefully will write about my opinions of what I'm currently reading or listening to/watching, and generally just keep an update of all my language-related activities.
I plan to start Spanish and/or Korean this year, too, but nothing serious, and I'm also not sure when. My priority is Japanese. And I so want to learn Ainu.

頑張りましょうね!
