     @zaitcev I bought that book in 1993 before computers could do it worth a damn. I honestly dont know how Westerners learned Japanese before spaced-repetition phone apps.

     @sun Nelson is the way to go, although apparently it was forked? Mine is "Revised edition" (blue) and yours is "2nd edition" (red). But it's quite good, I often use it if computerized component lookup fails.

     @zaitcev I did that, it was agonizing.
     
     I think the difference is that people majored in it and immersed themselves, and I took a difficult high-tech major that took up all my time.

     @sun In my college Spanish classes, the people who did best found Spanish speakers to practice with. Like you, I was too busy to give it that extra effort and my progress showed it.
