>>24008969>you just following the methods posted in /djt/?Nah I'm just going full immersion, I absorb anything I read and smash the words into my head until I memorize them. Then I run them through Anki and review them. So far it's better than following a guide, but of course you need to learn hiragana and katakana first. Once you learn many kanji and you start seeing them everywhere you'll have an easier time memorizing new words. You can look up the words that reuse the same kanji in your log, the new ones will instantly lock in your head when you'll go back to them. Japanese is about creating neural connections rather than memorizing lots of random characters. I used to visualize kanji all the time at first but now I just let them slide into my memory since it's impossible to memorize all the strokes of every joyo kanji.
Btw you should definitely use AI to learn grammar and analyze sentences instead of textbooks. Feed AI your notepad file and ask it to look up words related to a concept. Works like a charm for me and it saves me a lot of time.
