I've been trying to teach myself Japanese for about 5 months now. I bought the Genki textbook and have been working through that. Before starting the book I spent a lot of time writing and using apps to practice Hiragana and Katakana. I also watch J-dramas (with subtitles) to help with listening. I haven't been able to put as much time into it as I'd like but am able to say and write some basic things and can start to understand a few words here and there when I'm watching the J-dramas. I find it enjoyable and plan on continuing to see how far I can get with it. I would like to visit Japan someday so want to be prepared.
