If possible, we recommend you visit Japan for a few weeks. Once you arrive, you have no choice but to use what little Japanese you know to survive. It may be challenging and scary at first but trust us, it will be worth it. You will realize that over time, once you put yourself out there, you will gain confidence in speaking in Japanese and you will be surprised by how you improved your Japanese speaking skills.
Watch animes/dramas to learn Japanese faster
You can do this step even if you are not in Japan. Learn Japanese by watching animes or dramas in Japanese. If you have already learned a few words through the textbook, the next thing you should do is learn how to use them in the proper context. By watching animes or dramas you will be able to listen to the proper pronunciation. You might even learn new words and slang by watching anime and dramas. We also recommend that you watch an episode with English subtitles first and then rewatch it with Japanese subtitles to improve comprehension.

Once you can read the basic hiragana, katakana, and a little bit of kanji, which are the three types of writing in Japanese, you can now challenge yourself to read story books for grades one and two. Some of the easier books will contain only hiragana and katakana and the more challenging ones will have basic kanji with the furigana on the sides (or above) for reference. You can start reading them to improve your Japanese reading speed.
Listen to music

By listening to Japanese songs, you will be able to hit 2 birds with 1 stone. Firstly, you can learn new Japanese vocabulary by breaking down the Japanese songs that you like. You can listen to a song on repeat and learn the translation of the lyrics online to understand the meaning. The next thing is that you can hone your Japanese listening skills to see how much of the song can you catch. Have a pen and paper with you and play through your favorite songs and write down the words or phrases that you are able to catch.
