You're right. The book does not have まで there in their sample sentence. I think maybe, out of habit, I typed 〜から〜まで without thinking, and then added on the にかけて for whatever reason. Thank you for your catch, and I will edit my original post to reflect your correction.

"Is", not "has been".
Had there been another この placed in front of the 一年, your TL would have been perfect.

Thank you for the correct. I'm glad that my translations are good. The past year I've been pretty open on here about my efforts to study more kanji, and that's really all I have done this past year. The fact that reading this type of book is getting easier and easier for me reflects what I've been saying: American schools need to emphasize more kanji, because the slow pace of kanji acquisition really is a huge hindrance to progressing from mid- to advanced-level Japanese.

Excellent lesson series by you BTW. I almost wish I were a Japanese-learner!

Thank you. There's a total of 30 lessons and I've only posted the first three (I split one of them up into two posts, though, due to length and a moderate change in topic).
I only wish there were more of these books. I've looked around, but the only ones I have found by ALC are either for simpler Japanese (and thus not for me) or are multi-lingual but cover the same material I'm covering now—so, again, not for me).
But I really am getting to the point where there's not much more for me to study grammar-wise. It's just vocab, kanji, and reading to pick up on the nuances that you can't formally teach.
This book may, sadly, be the last time I can formally study Japanese grammar.
The nice thing is that I have the best Spanish grammar book in the English language sitting on my bookshelf, a wife from Venezuela, and piss poor Spanish in my head!
