after the kana?

hello, I have recently learned to read & write hiragana & katakana, my question now is should i start learning grammar and vocabulary first, or basic kanji first? and can anyone recommend some good software for this, or books ofcourse, though i might have a hard time getting them since i live in holland

thanks

I would recommend a textbook to give you some direction and also to keep learning new things, so you don't get too bogged down in grammar and vocab - grammar will start to come naturally after time and for vocab., you will pick up a reasonable amount without meaning to (depending how much Japanese stuff you read, watch, listen to, etc.).

I recommend Genki I & II and I suspect a few other people might. I think it's the standard textbook in UK universities. Good luck with your studies

thank you very much

Many books are good, but also try language lessons to listen to, like Pimsleur and japanesepod101.com.

Also, a book I like for general reference is Japanese Step by Step : An Innovative Approach to Speaking and Reading Japanese by Gene Nishi.
