Looking for some feedback on my study method

Hi all,

I went to Japan early last year, and I knew a little Japanese, but not a lot. I’ve been studying… let’s say very casually for a few years.

I’m thinking of going back at the end of the year, and I want to improve as much as I can while working full time. I’d say I’m currently somewhere between N5 and N4, but I’ve never done a test.

My current study is:

Vocab/Kanji:

Wanikani- at about level 30. I do about 5 new cards a day and review about 20 cards about 5 times throughout the day.

Grammar:

Bunpro – I’ve only just started this but I’m a little way into the N4 grammar. I do 3 new grammar… things each day.

Listening:

The Japanese With Shun and Sakura Tips podcast. Also sometimes Comprehensible Japanese. I’m also playing the Yakuza video game series. Usually at least something every day.

Reading:

Satori Reader, but it’s difficult/slow for me at my level . Only really do this on work days.

Speaking:

italki lessons for one hour each fortnight.

If I keep this up until the end of the year, do you think I’ll be good enough to hold basic conversations? What should I change?
