Great idea indeed!
I see there is this copy available. Is this the one you are reading?

I first bought this one but then had to download an epub version to be able to use yomitan to read (which is a life saver btw, as it can give definitions on the fly and I can also add a few cards to Anki each day with it). I think the epub I got is the same but I’m not 100% sure.

I “read” an article on NHK Easy News. My reading isn’t quite there yet…

Been there today, read this one.
Nice story, bittersweet feeling (悲喜こもごもの気持ち). I learned the word 葉桜, which is explained within the story. I saw this expression ‘抱き合ったまま’, combining two grammar points I saw recently.
Learned these nouns ‘寝たきり’ and ‘やりとり’, that the counter for letters is '通’, this 擬態語 ‘こっそり’ and saw that you can て置く the verb 置く itself.

TIL of 気障ボーイ. Although it was written as キザボーイ in 「スキップとローファー」 (my favourite manga to date).
Hi,
Today I read four news in NEWS WEB EASY, no ふりがな and jisho by my side to check if I got right the new words’ pronunciation and meaning:
- this one on fining bycicle riders that violate the circulation rules,
- this one on up-to-date data on Japan population forecast for 2050, -food for thought-
- this one on the intention to shorten the security transit time in Japan airports, and
- this one on the problems Daihatsu is experimenting as a result of this.

I had a failed immersion session yesterday! I got Super Mario RPG for Christmas and I decided it would be a swell idea to attempt to play in Japanese.
…I soon switched my Switch settings back to English. I’ll try again another time.

Today I read two sad news in NEWS WEB EASY:
- this one on the earthquake at Ishikawa prefecture and its aftermath, and

Hope to read brighter news in the next days.

After a long immersion break (read: Christmas/New Year’s), I’m getting back into reading. I read the first story in this new Japanese reader I got recently. I like it so far, so I’m going to continue with the series.

I learned ひなん避難 for evacuate [from one punch man] , and in the broadcast said “津波逃げろ！！！” in Japanese, English and emojis 
Thank you for accessablity

Earlier today I watched the first episode of Pokémon Concierge. The stop motion animation is so cute! I watched the episode with English subs first and then with Japanese subs.
Yes, Netflix does have JP [CC] subs with certain Japanese shows, usually Netflix originals. You don’t even have to do anything special like change your language or region, so that’s helpful.

read chapter 3, 4 and 5 of usagi drop.
I do recomend using what ever streaming you already use. I watch in Japanese while on discord with my boyfriend who watches in English. I ask him for help if I don’t understand something. Unfortionately the baskin robbins in my town is closed, so I couldn’t get the sundae
