I’m Southeast, not far from East Dulwich.
Yeh at the moment I’m mainly focused on reading/listening because that’s easiest as you say. There aren’t many opportunities for conversation practice when you live here, but I’ll look into that when I feel like I’m at a suitable level.
I might have to sign up to Lang-8 at some point. At the moment I’m using a mix of TextFugu and the JapanesePod101.com website. I’ll read up on individual points from other sources as they come up for more clarification.
