1. Learn and memorize the 2 kanas

2. Start learning the basic kanjis and how they work, I suggest using Wanikani because it's free in the first few levels.

3. From this point on go FULL on grammar, study kanjis in the side with things like Anki but grammar is much much important

4. After a month, start trying actual raw content, mangas with furigana or VNs using text hooks like Textractor


And just keep at it for a year or two, remember, the biggest japanese noob trap is thinking that you need to know every kanji to know Japanese, people spend years and years doing anki without actually learning anything.

The hardest part of any sentence is writing in hiragana.

Actually listening to Japanese is something that should be recommended more often. Even if it's anime people need to spend some hours a day listening to the language.

read genki or tae kim or whatever
start reading tadoku and the easiest possible mangas
use ocr to extract the text from those mangas and turn it into flashcards (i just copypaste everything straight into jpdb)
start playing ez games (watching jp streamers play is a decent way to get a sense of whether your comprehension is good enough for that game yet)

what also works pretty well is just yoloing a game and take screenshots whenever you dont understand something, then you can just feed those into ocr like you would with manga. also dont be too afraid to try things above your level. it'll be a slog at first but language is repetitive enough that you'll very quickly get acquainted with the most important words

i've used both tae kim and other sources
tae kim does fine beginners getting their feet wet so that the truly curious can look for further instruction and compare; obtaining a better understanding
and i no, i am not a woke fag, just tired of people dropping vague, emotional outbursts against common sources without at least providing why they dislike something

Unironically wonder why do people fall for retards that can only somewhat properly recite off a script without actually knowing the language.
Whenever they are invited to any live shit like a podcast they keep spilling their spaghetti worse than jewtube "polyglots".

Cure dolly werks on my machine, and so far the only complaints I have seen from "people" about that eceleb are schizos somehow painting her as "woke" to gaslight.
Now that she's allegedly dead you don't even have to pay for anything, so calling her a grifter would be objectively wrong when everything is on jewtube for free.

Korean writing is the easiest to pick up because they bothered to try to improve it but actually speaking it is a pain in the ass. There are a lot of subtle sounds to words and the honorifics are annoying. It also has the worst looking romanized words which doesnt intuitively translate to how it's supposed to be pronounced.

gook writing is emblematic of what a westoid's idea of "fixing" kanji/hanzi is, an unintuitive mess that only makes sense to literal bots that nobody wants to use to the point gooks would rather speak in westoidese
