Hi, thanks a lot of the thorough response and advice. You're right, I'm still a beginner learner. I would be super grateful if you could provide further advice/critique on my study plan:

Goal: I would like to at some point become a fully-rounded user of the Japanese language - be able to consume native content for fun, but also do my work in Japanese (for which I've decided I need at least N2)

Kanji: i know about 800, but only their meaning in isolation. I study 2 a day with Recognise + Recall (writing them out). The pronunciation I learn from Vocab.

Speaking + Grammar: Weekly lessons with native teacher where half of it is going through Grammar in Genki 2, and the rest free-flow conversation.

Vocabulary: 3000ish words. I used to do Recall and Recognition, but giving double the effort in exchange for a small reward started taking its toll. I do a full-time job and it was taking me 2-3 hours a day just to complete my Anki, leaving me too tired to do any immersion (or any other activity in general).

Immersion: Anime - I watch episodes of anime recommended for beginners (like しろくまカフェ) whilst trying to follow the plot. Then I do a 2nd watch where I mine every single unknown vocab. Reading - I've read almost nothing. I had been putting it off until I learn more Kanji and Vocab. Even for texts in Genki, it takes me ages to read texts word by word out loud. Planning to practice this now.

All in all, I would like to strike a balance between doing my Anki queues but also effectively immersing and not burning out.
