The only way to learn 日本語:
1. Filter all tripfags
2. streamable
3. Don't waste time/money on ゴミ like:
-Anki, garbage videos and youtube channels, shitty apps, translations, learning kanji instead of vocab, all textbooks, Genki, Minna no Nihongo, Imabi, t*tsumoto, RTK, KKLC, Kanji Damage, Wanikani, Duolingo, Bunpro, Kodansha, Tobira, whatever you're using, language schools, courses, Italki, AJATT, JLPT, Kanji Kentei tests and many other scams
-Pitch accent doesn't exist (you can say words however you want https: //
youtu.be/1RKWcCyD7GI )
-Learning how to write on paper (you can do it later once you're decent at Japanese)
Avoiding these beginner traps will cut down your learning time considerably to less than 2 years if you learn every day and never give up. After that it's just enjoying the language and content while fortifying your knowledge and occasionally learning something new.
4. Fix your ------
5. Spend a few days getting familiar with kanas
6. Give Tae Kim a fast read, it's not the most accurate grammar guide but it's the fastest. Look up Japanese grammar on Japanese google/ask DJT later on instead
7. A few years of reading, listening, watching vtubers, shitposting on /djt/ and having your posts corrected by Japanese flags, googling stuff you don't know and you're done!
8. Move to Japan
9. The ride never ends
