What's the most efficient way to learn Japanese? How did you do it? Did you learn Hiragana/Katakana first, or did you learn vocabulary first? Or did you learn both at the same time? As for me, I think learning Hiragana is very hard, but I learn one Hiragana each day - that's a small progress. It seems like learning expressions (whole sentences) is the best way for me. But I want to be able to navigate in Japan.. I want to use trains, I want to know where I am and where to go to - so I need to learn the characters as well! I hope I will learn enough to go to Japan this year, because recently I am very fed up with the unfriendliness and tacky behaviour in Germany.

Genki is the textbook I used to learn Japanese if that helps. I learned Hiragana and vocab at the same time. It sort of starts you off with romaji, then adds hiragana, then kanji. There's also readings in the back of the book with most lessons. I'm also still N5 so take it with a grain of salt I guess lol
