The scenery is beautiful, and I’m enjoying it. ^^ I can see the end of the plateau and I’m looking forward to getting there. :D
Useful post!

Since I am read Chinese, kanji is easy. But to truly delve into grammar and make Japanese ‘my language’ has been hard. Any suggests?

But my tones aren’t as good as they could be in Chinese. People make jokes or laugh at me. It makes me feel very frustrated and not like the language, even though I have worked very hard.  Native speakers should keep in mind that accents are an unfortunate part of learning a language as an adult and not place so much emphasis on pronunciation.  Understandable is enough for most learners (and unfortunately no matter how hard they try many can’t do more than this).
