My plan is to work through Genki I and II, and I have done the first chapter in Genki I and loved it, I just need to make time to do the rest and stick with it! Do you have any tips/recommendations relating to this?

Yes, don’t give up . As someone who finished Genki 1 & 2 very recently, I don’t think there is any special trick to it. Just some minor considerations:

• writing things on paper, especially kanji may help you remembering kana and kanji better
• “production” exercises (answering questions, writing short paragraphs, etc.) are definitely worth going through properly
• double-check vocab with a dictionary; some translations are not entirely correct
• don’t shy away from using kanji outside of the recommended set, even if Genki doesn’t do it ; however, check with a dictionary which words are “kana-only” to avoid using too much kanji

Finally, I’d like to interact more with the community! It’s such a great place and I feel so welcome here, but too often I sign off right after reviews and come back when it’s lesson/review time again. I lurk posts sometimes, but I’d like to be around more often and contribute!

Other than the usual topics, https://community.wanikani.com/t/japanese-sentence-a-day-challenge is a great place to flex your budding grammar skills. You’ll definitely get feedback and maybe strike some related grammar/vocab discussions with the usual lurkers .
