Being out of the loop from using Japanese for so long as made me feel very rusty and make me realize I'm not at all at the level I'd like to be at. I plan on traveling to Japan in 2017 and I'd like to be able to function as in read some menu's at restaurants, be able to check into a hotel, or even just get a train ticket. I do not know any Kanji but have retained hiragana and katakana and can read them fine.
