This one almost made fail blog, but you could still barely reach the top row. 

I'm on page 90 out of 140 of my shin chan book, but I've slowed the process down a lot by writing down every single word I don't know, then writing a line of it. Tomorrow I don't have to teach any classes so perhaps I could find a room by myself and get another 20 done. Although I'll need to start from the beginning again if I'm to learn every word in it. Of course, without actually using the word in a conversation, how much could I actually produce? not very much, but I'm working on that.
