Good morning! My name is Kou. \(^o^)/ I want to hold Monthly Tadoku Challenge.
What is Tadoku?
'Ta' in tadoku means 'a lot', and 'doku' means 'to read'. It's a challenge for language learner to read as many as they can within a month. (Originally, there is no time-limit at all, but there will be for this thread) It is also called as extensive reading.
How to do Tadoku? (From Tadoku.org)
What is count as reading material?
Anything! It can be a book, picture book, article, games, even tweet. Anything in Japanese.
Benefit joining Tadoku challenge
How to join the challenge?
At the end of each month, I will manually calculate all of them (how many sentence and words you have read), and post it up on the first page.
Additional notes:
For October's Monthly Challenge, it'll specially start at 26 Sep to the end of October. On November and so on, it'll start at the first day of the month.

How to do Tadoku? (From Tadoku.org)
- Start from scratch.
Read easy books you can enjoy without translating. That way, you will understand better and so you will read more - Don't use your dictionary. Don't use your dictionary when you come across words you don't know. Guess the meaning from the pictures and/or the story.
- Skip over difficult words, phrases and passages. If guessing doesn't work, skip over that word, phrase or passage and go on reading. You can often enjoy the book without understanding every small detail.
- When the going gets tough, quit the book and pick up another. The going gets tough when the book is not suitable for your level or your interest. Simply throw the book away and start reading something else.
