A detailed read-through of an NHK Easy article. This goes into the Tokyo Game Show and how technology is changing the face of gaming.
NHK Easy is a fantastic resource and Japanese students of all levels should check it out, even if you struggle reading hiragana. It is basically a news website but written in much simpler Japanese, with an option to turn on the kanji readings and have the piece read out to you.
The website can be found here.

This is an article from a great website called matcha.jp, it is a travel website but it has nice long articles that are a really great test of kanji and vocabulary.
No matter what the language, constant exposure to it is key to improvement alongside consistent study. Consuming Japanese media in the form of anime, TV shows, books, games will help to reinforce words you’ve learnt, practice your listening to a variety of accents, dialects, show you how words and grammar are used in context and finally help improve your concentration.
Games can be good if you’re used to them in English, as switching to Japanese is not as hard if you know the general gameplay mechanics, menus etc. I make an effort to switch everything to Japanese, including my phone, computer etc. I recommend you do the same!
