Hello! I’ve currently been studying Japanese for around 2 months. Throughout these two months I have gone through a variety of different tools and sites such as WaniKani, Duolingo, core2k, tangoN5, lingo dear, Genki, etc. and have finally settled on what’s perfect for me. However, I am not sure if what I am doing will be enough to make substantial gains in a years time. See below:
# My progress in tools/decks I have dropped :
**WaniKani:** Level 7
**TangoN5**: Around \~350 cards
**Genki** (and it’s vocabulary decks which are around 60\~ new words per lesson): Lesson 3
**Core 2k/6k**: Around 350 cards
# My Current Routine:
**Anki:**
Core 2.3k (\~20 new cards per day)
I’m currently at around 400 cards into the deck.
RRTK450 (\~25 new cards per day)
I’m currently at 150 cards into the deck.
**Grammar**:
Tae Kim’s Grammar Guide (Around 2-3 grammar points per day + their exercises)
**Immersion:**
Reading (Around 1-2 hours of graded material)
Listening (2-3 episodes of anime a day with a mix of raw + JapSub)
To give an example of a what a typical day looks like, here is a [screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/CHTNEYL) of my journal for yesterday.
I also plan to start sentence mining when I get to around 1000 cards in the core 2.3k deck. Would this be enough progress?

If you keep up what you’re doing and don’t forget to increase the difficulty of your reading, it’s probably doable. sentence mining should fill the gaps left by the 2.3k, just don’t get lax on it.
And don’t fall off. This method works for a number of people, but for a larger number of people, it can be demotivating. If you quit, you won’t get there.
