That last diagram is 👌 I think translating is an excellent way of understanding where your gaps are in grammar, a really good idea. I'm personally more of a passive listener. While I commute or while I go for a run or walk, I listen to Japanese podcasts. It has the issue that sometimes it is easy to zone out, but I think that's part of it. For anyone interested in doing passive listening, I'd recommend a podcast that has a lot of episodes, because ideally you'd want to try to listen to at least 30 minutes every day (I also think consistency is key). What worked very well for me, although it's not super beginner friendly, was "Nihongo con Teppei for beginners". Episodes are 3 to 5 minutes long, and there are over 1200 episodes at the time of writing this comment. I like these because each short episode is about a different topic. Japanese with Shun is also excellent, and probably more beginner friendly.
I only listen passive at the moment. I only just started learning so I am doing the hiragana now. ( I know 30 of them now). I do think the tips you are giving are real good. When I get that far I will try it.
Great ❤ Currently focusing on JLPT N4 to understand and cement the basics well. But I will certainly try to incorporate these methods based on their associated goals while getting into N3 level.
Let me know your favorite podcasts and study methods you like to study with 😊
