Hi I want to start self teaching Japanese as I really love the country and the culture and the language. Where do I start? I’m completely lost! Is anyone can offer some guidance or some links to free websites that would be good thank you

I’d recommend (textbooks): Japanese from zero, Genki 1 and teach yourself Japanese. For apps, I’d avoid Duolingo so: memrise, quizlet, Anki and lingodeer

2. Genki 2 textbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genki-Secon...YYFYX7JGS659NH

Tobira kanji book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Tobira-Powe...AEJ4XNB6A1V9DD
Unless you have a friend in Japan who can ship you these (because they're much cheaper there), this is probably the site with the cheapest offers: https://www.japancentre.com/en/categ...language-books
Books can come in different editions. Either the most recent editions or slightly older editions would be fine. The only difference is the price and aesthetics/corrections. The content should otherwise be the exact same.
