-3-5 months to complete RTK #1

-then I will restart Genki textbook #1

-then I will go on to study with native speakers, Japanese audio, etc.

* I've been to Japan about 4 times, so I'm alright as far as pronunciation goes. I've just shut off my Japanese language learning side of the brain. Now, I am ready to turn it back on. I will do the RTK first though, which is not necessarily Japanese, and more about learning pictures.

*Any opinion or advice on this? I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Are you gonna be doing any immersion activities? Listening to J-music, watching anime etc? You could start Genki alongside RTK and you will find your progress more encouraging - plus at the end of both you will be quite well placed to move on to Core2000 or something similar.

Thank You for your response. I think I may just focus on the RTK by itself though before everything else. I have other things in my life taking up my time and space, so I think that I will pace myself.

If that's the case you may want to look at Nukemarine's guide - it's set up for people with only an hour or two to spare during the day.

Where is that guide? Link?

Thank you! It looks very useful.
So thanks to Nukemarine as well!
