>>88501658>I listen to a lot of streams and do some audio tapes plus animeThat's good but I still would recommend getting into basic reading as soon as possible, it seems intimidating, but it really isn't that bad.
>I'll spend a year painting runes You literally do not have to learn how to write Japanese if you don't want to move to Japan (even then you're only going to use it if you get a job where you need to write down stuff or apply for a jp university) or want to pass Kanken (which you don't want to unless you're a kanji autist). Otherwise, it is an immense waste of time, just get an anki deck and learn vocabulary. Individual kanji study is a meme.
>I will have to learn a JP keyboardAnon, you can just use IME, you don't need a JP keyboard to type Japanese.
