It is not the end of the world to learn actual japanese alongside RTK. In fact I think it is a nice way to get yourself motivated, because it will make the purpose of learning the full RTK book clear ...

Does anyone have anki deck(s) for the textbook "Japanese for Everyone"? It's possible to find mentions of decks for this book on the internet but I didn't have any luck so far searching for them.
