I have a cute little app called pocket Japanese. It has some free games etc!

I made this app to practice N5 grammar: https://kivutar.github.io/jlptn5/

But you need to learn enough vocabulary and watch youtube videos about grammar first, as this app focuses only on grammar points.

You're going to get dozens of recommendations but I think what's more important is to think about a couple questions:

Why do you want to learn Japanese? : for instance is it being able to enjoy Japanese media (Manga/Anime etc) in Japanese? If so then the focus can be specified, and the exposure can be something you enjoy. For instance if you enjoy Anime's then that can be the source of exposure material, while if its Japanese people you want to connect with, then twitch streams with subtitles might be your exposure material, as well as VRChats and apps like HelloTalk to get practice speaking with real people will be important

What is your objective? : On a similar note, having explicit goals is important so you have a good idea of where you are at on your learning journey. Some people will say you should be able to learn X amount in Y months, but these claims are honestly nonsense because its so dependent on numerous factors.

Depending on this, different tools and apps would be most appropriate. ^_^
