>>1147798learn hiragana and katakana, it should only take 2-4 weeks or so, test yourself using any of the random online kana memory quizzes you can google. then get anki core 2k/6k vocab and do that everyday, however many cards you're comfortable with, kanji seems daunting but i don't really see any reason to hold off on it versus just jumping in as soon as possible, the longer you hold off on it the longer it'll be before you're able to read. get a textbook(and bunpro if you want a grammar SRS), there are a thousand torrents and pdfs you can easily find for genki, minna no nihongo, japanese the manga way, just get whatever you like and stick to it. lingodeer if you want a supplementary phone app. and consume japanese media. in 2-4 years you'll be competent as long as you stick to it, don't waste hours everyday in DJT or japanese learning forums where people senselessly argue about what the most efficient method of learning japanese is while they never actually stick to any method to eventually actually learn japanese. never let a break turn into weeks/months/years of essentially giving up on japanese because one day you didn't feel like doing your reps and you gave in to it and it snowballed from there.
