/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'm about N3 level in my kanji studies, but now I'm trying to get a better grasp of the language's grammar and kanji readings. I thought a good way to practice would be to attempt to read one thread on 2chan a day (of course with translation tools initially) and write any kanji I'm not familiar with in my notebook. I figured this would be more useful than reading other materials because I would also gain an understanding of the slang, common phrases, and other language quirks not mentioned in traditional Japanese language study tools. Thoughts?
