I’ve actually found kanji readings, meanings, and vocab to be very easy. The teaching style seems to help a decent amount. I think also that the use of the readings in the vocab, and the ways that the kanji are used with each other help a lot – having structure to just about anything makes it much easier for me to learn it (engineer, guilty as charged).

I am getting bogged down on non-kanji vocab, though. I think I’ve taken almost a month to get through the two sets of adjectives in Season 2. I’m doing more of the spaced repetition, and it’s definitely helping, but I only really have the opportunity to spend multiple hours on it once a week, so it’s still slow.
