1) Vocab 2) Kana/Kanji 3) Grammar 4) Reading 5) Listening Vocab = Anki, and reinforce via reading and listening to stuff and seeing the words you saw in anki Kana/Kanji is a big project, I think it's best to spread it out and not panic don't really worry about it until you have Hiragana and Katakana to about 80% but some people go INSANE with kanji and try to learn them all at the start, I think if you really learn a couple hundred, that will take you a long way and best to probably learn a few at a time Grammar, eventually I think https://bunpro.jp is a great resource you should see about trying, but personally I'd put it off for a bit until you're a little more comfortable with other stuff Reading: some kind of manga, when you're up to it Listening: 2 things: try to get audio for your anki cards, so you hear a native speaker say the words when you practice, and watching anime I think it's okay to make that less of a priority at first too, as long as you keep watching anime and stuff watching anime is not really studying, but it does help you get a feel for what things should sound like, you start to notice more words you recognize TsundereNoises> I looked around your books in that bundle, and I think Japanese the Manga Way might be a really good book to try, it has a bit of a crutch in using romaji, which you should get away from, but it gets to the point pretty well textbooks and bunpro are really what you want with grammar, for now I think looking at that, or the first chapter of really any textbook (genki or whatever else) would be fine I guess I think Japanese the Manga Way -> Bunpro might be the best self-study approach? I think that might be more overwhelming than JtMW though TsundereNoises> I think that might be more overwhelming than JtMW though when you get to kanji, it's best to learn them in the context of vocab words kanji don't really have "meanings" by themselves, other than the really concrete ones like "cat" those "meanings" you see are more like germanic/latin/greek roots in english
