#I have a sort of unique language learning journey and don't know what to do next

2 years ago I completed the orignal rrtk deck on anki but had to completely restart this year after not keeping up.
Now I've done the n5 deck but I still feel like there are common kanji I don't know (that also appeared while I was doing n5).
What should I do next? Should I do n4, should I learn more kanji, or should I start sentence mining?
P.S. my immersion has been pretty on and off these past 2 years and only in these past months have I been really keeping up.

Also kind of salty the new refold deck for beginners came right after I started lol

If you've done the n5 deck you have more than enough foundation to start doing sentence mining and focus the majority of your Japanese learning effort on immersion.

There's still going to be a lot of words and kanji you don't know, all the way up until fluency, basically. Repping more premade decks isn't what's going to fix this. Immersing is how you move forward from here on out and mining words from your immersion content will speed up the process of learning more vocab.

Note that studying kanji individually is not recommended especially since you've already made your way through a foundation vocab deck. you will learn all the kanji you need by strengthening your vocab further.

Ok so in summary start sentence mining and focus effort on immersion

#

The main reason I asked this is cause I see a lot of resouces saying to do n4 or learn the most common 2000 kanji

#

It's good to know my foundation is decent at least
