I am at the stage where I need to expose myself to as much japanese as possible, spoken and wirrten to get a decent vocabulary (above survival level vocabulary)
However I have nothing interesting to do to get this amount vocabulary, which heavily reduces the effectiveness of my learning
Be it a method to find things of interest to do with the language, names of authors, useful websites, good anime, something I haven't tried, something I am doing wrong....
I will try anything now.
My interests, if I could even say I have any, would be science, technolgy and history, although I do not read much of this in the languages I do know.

- I have little interest in anime/manga, but I do watch some anime(often with japanese subtitles) and read some manga.
- I tried finding films in japanese, but it was difficult, and I don't like films very much(I did watch some).
- I tried finding interesting youtube channels but I found nothing interesting.
- I tried reading news articles, but that is boring. (nhk easy is too easy now, btw)
- I tried watching dramas, but I do not like dramas and it is not at all interesting.
- I tried finiding blogs/article on various subjects, but I found nothing intriguing.
- I tried to find books, but unlike is the case with English, finding books is rather hard.
- I know many websties like bauddha.net and aozora bunko but I need to find authors to find books, and all I have now is a list of popular children's authors, again nothing interesting.
