What's an "easy" way to learn a language. Not easy as in "become fluent in Chinese in just 6 minutes" or some clickbait shit but something I guess more relaxed? Every time I try to learn a language I start off fine but after a month or two of doing vocab in Anki I just completely burn out and lose all motivation.
I've tried learning Japanese twice and German once and every time I end up burning out after getting overwhelmed with vocab. I really want to learn Japanese because I really like the history (mainly feudal Japan and some Shinto stuff) and I want to visit some day, but I just can't get past the Kanji barrier. I can read Katakana and Hiragana just fine, and studying grammar wasn't too bad (way easier than German was for me, but I've probably forgotten it by now). But trying to learn Kanji (I was doing 10 a day on Anki) just burned me out and I was barely making any progress at all anyways.
Anyone have any tips for not burning out? It feels like no matter what I'm always just going to get to a point where I can't remember any of the words and I just won't be making any progress at all.

No idea mate. I think a lot of us Anglos have a similar problem.
