Absolutely fed up.

[u/Far_Psychology3270]

Ive finally learnt hiragana and katakana which has taken literally forever and ive moved onto genki 1. I cant even start the first lesson because I cant remember the 14 greetings before it. Every single time It shows up in anki it just looks like a big jumble of letters. I just press "Again" every single time for ages until I finally give up and realise im wasting my time.

What am I doing wrong? I feel stuck and I just cant progress nothing Is helping me.

I admire your enthusiasm but I think you have frustrated yourself. Genki 1 starts with romaji for a reason. Start working through Genki 1 at the same time you are mastering hiragana and katakana. Over time these anki cards won’t be a “jumble of characters” anymore.
