If you’re interested talking about your progress with Genki with others, I have this thread here: Genki Study Buddies. It hasn’t been very active lately (and that may be my fault, I seem to have fallen off the wagon again), but in the top I link to Jomteon’s old thread which contained some great lesson summaries.
Also, I support your “going it slow” approach. Just keep at it, and do your best. ^ _^
