What is the best way to teach yourself japanese I plan to take japanese next year when I start college but I want to start learning now so I have a head start. So what is the best way to start learning on my own. For example should I first learn the three alphabets or should I start with phrases? And how long do you think it will take to actually be able to understand japanese when heard.

I would start off with learning romaji(the romanized from of japanese) and learning pronunciation,then learn hiragana and katakana,along with some basic phrases,some good resources to use for it would be memrise or anki ,I also reccomend downloading a app called tunein ,you can listen to radio stations from Japan,and you can listen to news reports and take notes of what you hear ,you should start kanji after you have learned hiragana and katakana,memrise and anki are good for learning them because they use flashcards . がんばってください!!

Start with the basics, practicing the vocab daily and learning how to pronounce words correctly. However, the best way to learn any language is to simply speak.
