What worked best for me (and other anons) might not work for you. I hardly touched anki and got away with a certification, but other people take better to flash card memorization, so who knows.
I started with textbooks, but I've heard good things about Tae Kim's guide as well. Those are nice starting points. I think immersion is a meme, but I'm not an auditory learner so maybe it works for those people inclined that way.
Current year djt is worse than a crab bucket with tripfagging and schizo shit all over the place. Do not go there.
Really, learning the language is trying something to see if it works for you and knowing to adjust if it doesn't.
