I'm learning nouns at the moment, but as I get started on grammer I'll learn my verbs and Adjectives. (After all, no point in learning the verb 'to open' if I don't know 'window' or 'door'.)
I'm making my own flashcards and such (with NO Romaji. I'm staying away from it as much as I can) and testing myself.
Is this a good route to go to learning? (Aiming for JLPT4 (N5) at the moment, hoping to reach JLPT2/N2 someday before visiting the country and perhaps getting a working holiday visa).

I think it is more beneficial to learn sentences (inc. grammar) that way if you can remember "Open the door" then it is easy to shift other words in an out for more holistic understanding ("close the door", "open the window", etc.) Generally people studying learn sentences, then the parts of the sentences and how to switch out other vocab.
