my japanese is improving a lot lately from doing just two things:
- watching anime unsubtitled, listening repeatedly and looking up every word i don't know until i understand, adding them to an anki deck
- watching anime subtitled, occasionally looking up interesting words
though the selection of vocabulary you get this way is eclectic compared to what something like duolingo would give you, it's a lot easier to remember words when you encounter them in a particular context, the context gives you a better sense of what they mean, and it's fun
this is doing wonders for my ability to recognise kanji and pitch accent also
