N1 is super impressive though! 2000 kanji is no small feat! Im not sure what the current meta among online Japanese learners for kanji is, but back when I started (about a decade ago now that I think about it) the general consensus was to not take time to study kanji individually, but rather learn actual vocabulary words (which usually consist of multiple kanji, usually two or three) and gain familiarity with kanji that way. It worked decently for me. Its rough at first but as you learn more vocabulary, you see the same kanji popping up in different words and youll get a sense of what the individual kanji mean that way. Obviously if a kanji is a word on its own, youll study that one individually. It was also encouraged to start reading native material right away and not spend too much time on learner materials beyond the basic building blocks to be able to read (grammar, some basic vocab). The way you get the vocab to study is to mine them from native material like manga or games and study them in a program like Anki, or make flash cards, or whatever works for you. Id suggest easier manga starting out. all in all these methods worked decently for me. Im not a Japanese master by any stretch of the imagination but it got me up to N1. oh and for listening its tough no matter what. I would suggest easy anime like something SOL, then work up to harder stuff. <cite>Itachi157 posted [p:979221203] in Anyone lea...
