I agree that each user has to make the decision about where they want to go and how valuable their current time and future time is. But for myself, in hindsight, I wish I would have dedicated 3 months to basic Japanese study (phrases and daily use language) and then tackled RTK. (see Essential Resources thread for more). It would have saved me ~16months of inefficient studying.
Edit to note that I think 300-400 kanji, including readings, "quickly" is a year or more realistically. I myself was in that boat. And I confused them every time I saw something similar, which is often.
