So I have learned since I was 12 years old and am now turning 23 but I have yet to attain fluency in Japanese due to I suppose bad study methods. Despite my somewhat awkward mix of advanced and intermediate knowledge, my speaking sucks, my listening is better but still sucks, and I still don't know all the Kanji.
I am going through the Genki series from square 1 and making my foundation rock solid, fortunately being an advanced learner despite the holes, I will probably be able to zip through the first book. What I want to make sure of is that I get out of this translating habit and also think in the correct word order and I think going through the genki series will help alot here because I want to do all the exercises in the book without translating first and thinking only in japanese. In addition, I am constantly trying to think in english in a japanese sentence order to reprogram my brain to think in the right information order rather than awkwardly trying to form sentences in japanese from a bunch of words in my head.
I really wanna get out of this rut and I hope this will help. Any other tips? I already listen to J-pop music all the time so that's good.
