If you're not averse to prep-work:
- Learn how to use Anki and set up pre-made decks, as well how to suspend cards so you can unsuspend stuff as you learn it and get the decks for Genki:
>>Anki: https://apps.ankiweb.net/>>Anki deck for Genki: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/942922371- Learn Hiragana and Katakana beforehand you'll need to learn it anyway and you'll learn how how to properly make the sounds of the japanese language. This will take you an afternoon for each video, maybe a week of practice and review to retain it:
>>Hiragana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6p9Il_j0zjc || https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-hiragana/>>Katakana: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6DKRgtVLGA || https://www.tofugu.com/japanese/learn-katakana/>>Anki Deck: https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/2141155567- Also learn how to make sense out of Kanji and create mental aids to remember them beforehand so you won't suffer with it down the line (this WILL be a grind, but it'll be a few months that will save you a few years down the line, so it's worth it):

It may seem unnecessary to say it since you're already disgraceful weeb but consume Japanese media on a daily basis while you're at it.
Now start doing your fucking reps.
Godspeed, anon.
