I moved to Germany about a year ago, so my reasons are pretty obvious. Why are you learning your target language?

That's awesome! What level do you think you've reached in your years of casual practice?

Hard to say. I notice that I understand more and more when listening to Japanese media but it's more on the level of individual sentences or "hey, the english subtitles are completely different from what they said". If you dropped me into a remote Japanese village where nobody speaks English, I would probably manage to keep myself fed and find my way home but not enough to hold an actual conversation.
