Thank you for your advice and opinion. I will keep this in mind as well. I personally am only interested in one step at a time as to retain the most and not overwhelm myself. I am also finishing up my bachelors degree simultaneously and working full-time. For now I am working on finishing Hiragana, and learning the basics of word structure and sentence structure, from there, Katakana. From there I have not yet planned where to go.
