I am trying to increase my reading and speaking skills before I go to japan next summer. I was thinking about reading online Japanese articles with the help of rikaichan for about 15-30 mins a day as a start. The reason I am using rikaichan is to get into the habit of just reading Japanese and not stopping.Also I have tried Shadowing for my speaking. I have been using a book for shadowing it was very helpful in the beginning but now its becoming a hassle to use it. Does anyone know a better ways to improve both speaking and reading I would appreciate it.
