Kanji isn’t magic. There are 2000 or so commonly used characters, and kanji are the word markers in Japanese sentences instead of spaces, except where some adverbs, adjectives, and particles are used. Foreign loan words are common and written phonetically in katakana, so you know most of those already. Just say “drink” or “cola” or “internet” with what you believe to be an extreme Japanese accent. That’s actually just how they say the word.
You can find the best materials on the high seas or even for free, and learning a language gives you something to do to keep your brain active.
