The week was exhausting.... Because I tried my hardest to use my target language and it takes a lot of effort. But the week has been full of positive encounters and it went ok!

You all have had a good langlearning week, I hope?

Yep, exactly, JLPT-prep. I'm going to grab Shin Kanzen Master, though I ultimately don't know if it'll be the right fit or not. My guess is once a student finishes Tobira (or Quartet now, I suppose), they pick a goal. N2 is the most common goal, I would imagine, so the student then figures out what part of the exam they need to focus on. For me, I know I'll be okay on vocab and kanji, I just need reading speed and I especially need listening comprehension work. Beyond that, it'll just be drills for the test format.

I think if one's goal is just consuming native content, working in a job that needs Japanese, or just chatting with others, post-Tobira/Quartet is indeed when one starts a more self-tailored learning approach. I haven't even started the "easy" native stuff like よつばと！or からかい上手の高木さん but it sounds like I'd be in a good position to do so maybe even right now if I wanted.
