contrary to what other people have said about memorisation, I got a lot better at japanese through immersion.
here are some of the things I did to get better at japanese:

listening / speaking
- watching shows in japanese with an app called lingopie (they have subs in jp that you can click on to learn)
- watching interviews and conversations in japanese
- writing my own conversations and practising with a friend

reading / writing
- learn and practice grammar + sentence structure
- expand vocabulary and learn new kanji
- read news articles and posts in japanese (in social media) rather than only reading textbooks
additionally, I use this dictionary website called jisho.org which is super helpful for translating words and kanji from jp > eng and vice versa.

I hope you find at least some of these points useful !!

WOAH HOW DARE YOU BADBUBBLE I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO ME

 

[ramenkitten]

you can try study for jlpt, personally I used Genki 1-2 (can pirate) up to N4 and you can also try to use Anki's core2k deck or taekim's guide to grammar

 

[ramenkitten]

currently I'm using WaniKani and Bunpro for Kanji, Grammar and Vocab, would highly recommend although it is a paid subscription

regarding immersion
personally I would argue for that in order to utilise immersion to its fullest you would need a solid foundation to start ( at minimum strong grammar construction to understand the sentences)

regarding reading and writing
for the news articles I would recommend nhk easy reading.
it should take time to get used to, but at Year 12 extension level (N4-3) each passage should be pretty doable within 5-10 minutes.

one of the best tools to use is the yomitan dictionary, search it up and it will be very useful

just try to interact with the language often, watch shows with jap sub you don't have to understand it all, read some simple texts like nhk yasashii easy web or my personal favourite is satori reader but you have to pay to unlock all the texts, if you don't there is still a good few you can read. I think for writing really try to remember all the structures, just brainstorm the structures you're gonna use according to marks. So take like 3 seconds and think up how you will apply 5 structures for a 5 mark question or 10 for the ten marks. Practice often and ask your teacher to check for accuracy.

yep I definitely agree with this!
I just meant to share ways to get better at japanese for continuers outside of just studying and memorising vocabulary
(which is really important for beginners).
