Best way to utilize bunpro for my situation?

Bunpro
#1

Hello,

Currently, my Japanese study consists of WaniKani/KameSame for kanji, JALUP decks for vocab, and BunPo for grammar. I also try to immerse for an hour or two every day, but it’s hard since I am a beginner and don’t understand a whole lot yet.

For bunpro, I am just adding about three grammar points a day and I make sure to do the attached readings or view the video for more explanation. I am about a week or so in with bunpro and thought I’d make sure I’m using it okay.

Right now, I’m just going through the grammar in bunpro order, but I do have Genki 1/2 and Tobira. Should I be utilizing those too? If so, what happens to the items that I’ve already studied/reviewed if I switch my order from bunpro to

Stay on the Bunpro default path that is all inclusive. It’s the best way IMO and you won’t miss out on anything that some textbooks leave out. 3 a day is good for a while, but you should drop it down a bit when you start to get overwhelmed.

If it working and you are enjoying it, do what you are currently doing. IF you are unsure of some grammar point /something and its in Genki or Tobira, read through them. (Genki 1/2 have some good explanations).

Seconding @Asher, be carefull. When the reviews get too much, slow down. I would say, try to make (disposable) notes on what you are learning as for some people writing out helps to remember faster.
