Very well done on your Japanese journey thus far, and all the best for the road ahead!
Something I personally very much relate to, which has lost me a lot of time and caused unnecessary stress, is that I worried about not encountering certain words which might be common in everyday Japanese. As such, more time was spent looking for overly tailored content than just jumping into content one enjoys.
I probably missed this part in the video, but how did you overcome the dreaded 'monolingual transition'? It always seems as though no matter how much progress I make, I cannot switch over to all-JP dicts. Still using English definitions, sadly, and have tried to have both Eng and JP dictionaries on my cards, but it won't work, likely due to my lack of coding and settings knowledge when it comes to Anki.
I didn't overcome the monolingual transition lol, at the time of this video I was in the middle of trying to make it work and shortly after failed and switched back to JMDict. I'm only now trying to reintroduce monolingual grammar lookups.
