Im just starting to learn japanese funnily enough. It's a bit of a struggle getting through the start esp since I never learned chinese as a kid either LOL
Don't worry, most people only knew basic weeabo words from anime like I did before I started. Kanji is daunting, but if you use some sort of SRS program with mnemonics to learn it (+ learn radicals!), you'll get good! It takes time, like if you do Wanikani everyday it's still a little more than a year to complete all 60 levels. But I'm at the point now where I'm frustrated if a word is written in kana rather than kanji ๐
I learned most of my vocab through Wanikani (Currently 3K+ are "burned"), but you could just use the Kaishi 1.5K deck to get some beginner vocab and go from there. I now get my vocab from immersion (YT vids, manga).
Yea the bummer is that kid me really hated chinese school so I never actually learned chinese except speaking at like an elementary school level.
I'm decently sure if kid me wasn't as whiny about chinese school it'd be a lot easier to learn japanese since the characters are somewhat shared
I should technically learn chinese as well but I'm planning on visiting japan first so yea LOL
