Progress is slow, I am reading and listening to Japanese 1 to 2 hours a day now

I started learning Japanese in April of 2024. I totally failed the N4 test in December because I didn't spend enough time studying as planned initially. I averaged about 1 hour a day learning Genki 1 and 2 and only reached Genki 2 lesson 16 when I took the test. I have 2 sessions per week with a Japanese teacher on Italki.

I am doubling my effort and hoping to maintain a 2 hours a day learning Japanese. 30 minutes for Grammar and then 1.5 to 2 hours listening and reading Satori Reader and Youtube videos. Progress is slow but I am hopeful. My family will go to Japan in the summer of 2026 for vacation. I hope to be able to communicate comfortably by then.
